As I write this blog post, in another tab in my browser, I have a live feed from One Stadium Place where a press conference is about to start to announce the Jaguars new head football coach. Coach Malarkey will presumably say a few words but, like the rest of Jacksonville, my eyes will be searching for a certain mustached billionaire. Mr. Kahn, who only recently bought the Jaguars has become an instant celebrity in our fair city. He has made a few strong moves already including the hiring of Malarkey. There is something beguiling and yet comforting about Mr. Kahn’s mustache that really connects to Jacksonville. It can’t hurt that the deal to buy the team was announced in Movember. The iconic turn-of-the-century-before-last stache has spawned a flood of twitter-fueled marketing love and hipster fitted screened t-shirts. One is not sure whether to believe Shad Kahn when he says he didn’t know his mustache had super powers.

The energy around the stache, the Jags and Jacksonville itself seems palpable right now. Our business community is gaining steam on several fronts. When you combine the sale of the Jaguars to Mr. Kahn, the sale of Winn Dixie, and the announcement that Embraer will be building their jets in Jacksonville, you are looking at more than a billion and a half dollars in business and transactions in December.

So what can we do be a part of this amazing Jacksonville and Jaguar renaissance? Here is something! With a click of the link you will find the first of many opportunities to see Mr. Kahn and Coach Malarkey together with some key Jaguar players, the Roar, and thousands of your closest Jaguars friends.

But how do we know Mr. Kahn knows and loves this city?
Discounted concessions and $2 beers! Clicking the link now aren’t you?! That’s turn-of-the-century-before-last beer pricing!

Please join the Keymer crew as we welcome Shad Kahn and Mike Malarkey to Jacksonville on Tuesday the 17th at the ‘Bank, and lets keep this momentum rolling like Jones Drew on 3rd and short!
