Created in 2003 by a couple of Montgomery natives, president John Carter and friends had a mission to create a management consultant firm that specialized in helping amateur and professional talents, that had a calling in music, modeling and sports but needed help in entering into the entertainment industry. The Team’s main vision is to help their clients with promotion, marketing, and getting their talent out to the masses. A Team has developed into greatness over the last past years by working with MTV in their Choose or Lose Campaign and BET College Tour in Montgomery, not to mention that they have worked with several record companies such as Def Jam, Warner Brothers, BME, Rap-A- Lot, and Rowdy Records. As far as their model division A Team has gotten their sexy on with the help from Tyson Modeling Group and Enicity Modeling Company to help expand their models. If you think A Team Management is too Hollywood to be a Montgomery establishment think again because A Team has also contributed to making Montgomery a better place and making residents aware of health related issues, by teaming up with the Sickle Cell Foundation, NAACP, AIDS Outreach, and the Cancer Society. A Team is always looking to venture out with new clients, but as for right now they are anxiously working on their American Dream Models calendar, their sports division and producer/ songwriter Dallas Austin TV show. As of today there is no other management consultant firm in the South that’s holding it down like A Team, if you ask President John Carter who is his biggest competition he’ll tell you Violator, which might I add is a East Coast region management consultant firm. “When our vision reach’s it’s maximum potential they definitely will be a future competition.”
