Jenny Pruitt Shows No Originality
I was going to post some amazing photos this morning I took at 1010 Midtown yesterday, but this deserves way more attention.
Every Friday morning I pour myself a cup of coffee and download the latest e-dition of the Atlanta Business Chronicle. Imagine my shock when I saw the news… “Jenny Pruitt to Market High-Rise Condos.” Big deal right? The real news is they are using the name “Skyrise Group.” What?
They couldn’t have thought of anything original? Were they were doing some research and came across my website and information? Who else would have come up with the name skyrise here in Atlanta? I pretty much have the Atlanta market covered with atlantaSKYrise.com and atlantaSKYriseblog.com. This really makes me very upset that Jenny Pruitt and David Boehmig are trying to capitalize on what I have already built up. But isn’t that always the way things go? Someone works really hard to build something, and then someone else tries to step on them? Now it is true that I can’t stop them from using a similar name, but I do have some other tricks up my sleeve.
While imitation can be the sincerest form of flattery, it can also demonstrate a total lack of imagination and inept marketing. So, no – I’m not affiliated with Jenny Pruitt in any way, shape or form. Skyrise Group isn’t part of what I am doing, nor should you get confused when you see their marketing.

No originality indeed. This is what happens when you have younger people with fresh ideas, the older more “traditional” old guard get jealous and want to try and capitalize on your hard work. Disappointing but typical of people like Pruitt and her associates…can’t wait to see the inside of 1010, hopefully some retail announcements are coming soon.

Agreed.
