Tumbleweed Social

We had the opportunity to attend the ribbon cutting for the new street banners in the historic Ten Broeck Triangle. During the event, Henry Bellagnome, Inc. announced a $10,000 contribution to the Central Ave. BID and TumbleWeed Social to reactivate Townsend Park! 🌳

The park sits right at the entrance of Central Avenue, marking the beginning of the International Corridor. This funding will allow us to start hosting smaller gatherings like First Fridays and Holiday Markets, building momentum toward a major event in September 2027. 🗓️✨

We are incredibly excited to bring this vision to life alongside partners who bring invaluable expertise and a deep commitment to the community. 🙌

Stay tuned for updates!

I think we can all agree that a downtown is the heart of a city. And although cities, BIDs, and businesses themselves spearhead the efforts to make it thrive, we still see progress move slower than we want it to.

Sometimes, the reason is much closer than we think.

After 7 years of working in the field, I’ve realized that the missing piece of the puzzle is the everyday habits of the people who live within a district and its surrounding areas.

We have so much more power over the success of our community than we realize, but casual negativity, skipping local events, or spending our money at distant big-box chains quietly slows down the exact progress we are waiting for.

I attended NYVT Media’s Top Five Changemakers awards ceremony at the Wire Event Center.

This was my first time attending the event, and it was a pleasure to be there with the Henry Bellagnome Inc. board. It was a great evening spent celebrating the local leaders making an impact in our community and enjoying a wonderful dinner at such a beautiful venue. 💫

Had a lovely lunch with friends at Sichuan Wok! The food was delicious and the team was super friendly. Somehow 2 hours flew by just laughing and chatting.

Building a district is a massive investment, but the infrastructure is only half the battle. Without a strategic narrative, even the best urban projects struggle to gain traction. 🚜
Marketing is the catalyst that shifts public perception, reduces risk for investors, and creates a sense of place for the community. It’s what transforms a construction site into a destination.

When .4ms reaches out to shoot a new brand campaign right here in Albany, you show up and get to work 🫡
The ME-vs-ME message is really about that internal grind and choosing to compete with who you were yesterday. It’s a solid reminder to block out the noise so you can focus on your own self-development.
For the content itself, we went with a mobile-friendly approach using clean shots and plenty of real-world interaction. The goal was to show how the pieces actually move and fit into a normal daily routine.

We kept the editing pretty intentional. The atmosphere is vibrant with a few nostalgic vignettes tossed in, though we stayed light on the color grading to let the quality of the gear speak for itself. 🤳✨🏙️
