NEW YORK, March 27, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- On the heels of announcing its upcoming awards show and museum development successes, the Hip Hop Hall of Fame (HHHOF) has selected GlobalHue to oversee and manage its strategic planning, integrated marketing and award show event. This news follows the HHHOF announcement earlier this month regarding the return of the Hip Hop Hall of Fame Awards Show kick-off events slated for May 2014.

Don Coleman, GlobalHue Chairman and CEO said, "We are truly excited to work with the Hip Hop Hall of Fame and plan to deliver best in class strategic leadership to enrich their multiple brand platforms. HHHOF showcases the importance and relevancy of a music genre that has helped shape the world."

HHHOF is a non-profit and chartered Museum and Educational Institution with a mission to preserve the history and legacy of hip hop music and culture, highlighting its impact on society and the world.

"We have a monumental year ahead of us, and the Hip Hop Hall of Fame wanted an agency with a proven track record that understands the depth and historical value of hip hop," said JT Thompson, HHHOF Chairman. "GlobalHue also has leveraged its multicultural influence to impact universal audiences, just like hip hop."
