Biography
Baltimore Native Marcy Evans Crump is the founder of The Flywire, Inc., a Baltimore-based multi-media company. Evans-Crump’s primary mission is to promote the Baltimore metropolitan scene and all of its hidden treasures and talents, and highlight phenomenal Baltimoreans.
A self acclaimed “Social Butterfly,” Ms. Evans-Crump created The Flywire- an email party network for Baltimore’s urban professionals, trendsetters and entrepreneurs in 2003. In 2004, The Flywire launched www.theflywire.com as an online entertainment guide. In its infancy at just 4 months old, The Flywire's website and E-news system was named by Baltimore City Paper as the "Best Nightlife Stirrer for Best of Baltimore 2004." The Flywire membership is now a massive, valuable email network of "young at heart" urbanites that enjoy socializing and being in tune with the hottest events around. Flywire members are from Baltimore, Washington, DC, Philadelphia, New York City, Atlanta, Detroit, Houston, Miami, Los Angeles, Chicago, Columbus, Memphis, New Orleans, and cities in Virginia, New Jersey, North Carolina and Missouri. People from 82 countries, 48 states and countless cities have logged on to The Flywire.com for news about Baltimore.
One year later in July 2005, The Flywire spread its wings and provided an online and printed magazine to showcase Baltimore and the Flywire's valuable network of trendsetters and was named as Best of Baltimore 2005 by the Baltimore City Paper for Best New Magazine. Flywire magazine contributors and staff are a talented group of artists, writers, photographers, Baltimore icons, and business professionals. In 2006, the magazine was featured in a national campaign for Verizon.
Currently in 2008, the popularity of The Flywire has increased to great proportions and reigns as the entertainment leader in Baltimore as the top promoter and event planner; and serves as the advertising broker for all that's hot in the area.
In an effort to maximize the collective power of The Flywire and its individual members, subsidiary groups The Flywire VIP Network and The Flywire CEO Club have been created. The two new programs will be launched as part of the new and improved TheFlywire.com in 2009.
A former Baltimore City Public School System Public Relations specialist, Baltimore City Recreation and Parks Marketing/Media Director and Visionary Marketing Group Public Relations Director, Evans Crump also serves as an event planner and public relations consultant for select clients. From 1994 through 2000, Evans Crump was also the co-owner of Two Fierce Productions, Inc., another successful Baltimore-based entertainment productions company.
