As the founder of Urban PR, Natasha Rennie brings over 13 years of industry experience to the organization. Rennie launched her career while in college as a prominent on‐air radio personality at WAMF & WNLS in 1991. After graduating from Florida A&M University & Florida State University, Rennie worked as the Entertainment Editor for Debut Magazine and later was recruited by So So Def Productions/Recordings (Jermaine Dupri) in the artist management division known as Entertainment Resources International. While working for So So Def/ERI, Rennie served as artist development manager, artist consultant and publicist for the multi‐platinum roster which included DaBrat, Kris Kross, Xscape, Arrested Development and Jermaine Dupri. In 1996, Rennie launched a new division of the company – “Artist Consulting Services” and acquired several large clients for the division including After 7, Luke Records and Black Entertainment Television. Rennie lead the new division’s objectives and concentrated her efforts in brand management and public relations. Out of the growing demand for more strategic public relations campaigns, Rennie launched Urban PR in 1997. Today, Urban PR is known as the premier provider of Public & Media Relations services and is proud to serve an all‐star line up of clients and projects.
