"Cheryl Hughey Promotions has to be one of the most innovative and energetic companies..."

- Brian Hough, The Jassman (Africa)

WELCOME

With over a decade of freelance writing/marketing experience that includes service as an indie label publicist, television producer, radio promoter, jazz news editor, newspaper journalist and nationally published magazine writer, Cheryl understands the ever changing landscape of business.
