"I’m a fan of SOUTHERN EXPOSURE Magazine. It’s a small town publication with a big city feel and look. The articles are great, the photography is beautiful and it’s always current and relevant. It really is one of the few magazines my whole family passes around. Having been featured on the cover I might be a tad bias - - - but I really do think it’s a great publication. We’re all proud it’s based in beautiful Franklin, Tennessee. Southern Exposure makes us all look good!"

Michael W. Smith, Singer/Songwriter and fan of SEM!

"Brandy Blanton has done a great job in making SEM a very diverse magazine.  This magazine is very professionally produced.  It has a southern flavor that not only showcases music but other talents and personalities in Williamson Community as well.  It has a way of making the local people who are featured in the magazine just as important as the national personalities. 

It is always exciting to see who will be on the cover of her magazine.  The cover is where you discover that someone lives in the county that you never realized lived here. This magazine does a wonderful job of introducing neighbors to each other which further demonstrates why people move to the county in the first place, the "down home" feel.  This magazine furthermore, demonstrates how the "down home feel" and "big town feel" can merge. I truly hope Williamson County will continue to produce that feeling through such things as the SEM magazine.  Brandy is so down to earth as is her magazine.  If you have not read SEM, you have missed another well kept secret in Williamson County."

"Southern Exposure Magazine is a tremendous gift for the residents of Williamson County. It's a beautiful magazine and in a time when more magazines are folding than hitting the newsstands, Southern Exposure continues to embrace the people, culture, events and spirit of Williamson County and bringing them to life with excellence on every page. We should be proud to call SEM one of our own! I know I am."

"Southern Exposure magazine is one of the best communication pieces in the greater Nashville area.  Southern Exposure offers a fresh perspective on the lives and the happenings in our community.  The magazine has a great layout, with lots of color photos.  I am always awaiting the next issue.  Also, I am so impressed with the heart of the publisher (Brandy Blanton).  She uses her time and talent to serve the community through her “Turning the Tables” event.  Many non-profits have benefited from her dedicated service.” 

Stuart Tutler, Headmaster, New Hope Academy 

"Southern Exposure Magazine (SEM) shares Williamson County in a way that leaves you feeling as if you’ve been there....or you personally know the one they’re writing about!  Whether it is an article about an event, a place or a resident, the SEM staff paints a picture worth reading!!"

Rogers C. Anderson, Williamson County Mayor

"Joining with Southern exposure has been a great venture. The caliber of the magazine and it’s reader’s is just what we want in terms of new clients and patients. The people who come in because of seeing our promotion in Southern Exposure end up becoming not only patients, but friends. Thank you, Brandy, for working with us to bring out the awareness of Family and Cosmetic Dentistry with a Woman’s Touch."

"I read a great deal, especially when I travel. I really enjoy reading publications that give me insight into the city or state where I am visiting. Because of that, I can safely say this: Southern Exposure magazine is one of the most outstanding publications that I have read anywhere in the country. The writing is excellent. The choice of topics always grabs me. And with its high-quality layout and photographs, Southern Exposure is simply one of the best publications to look at. It is just well-done all the way around. So it's no surprise to me that people read Southern Exposure, that people talk about Southern Exposure, that people want to know what is going on with Southern Exposure. Simply put, because of how good it is, Southern Exposure has become one of Williamson County's major voices in just a few short years. That is impressive."

Mike Keith, “Voice of the Tennessee Titans”

"It has been a pleasure to watch Southern Exposure Magazine grow into such a success story. Their combination of hometown subjects and urban reporting makes it a must read for everyone in Middle Tennessee. The relationship my business shares with the magazine is more than just that of a client – they’re a friend. With an unparalleled mix of editorial, fashion and celebrity that uniquely speaks to the residents of Williamson County, I have found it to be one of the most successful marketing endeavors employed by the Studio."

"Each issue of Southern Exposure Magazine is a reflection of the incredible people, places and businesses that make Williamson County the wonderful place it is. Exceptionally well done, SEM is rich with stories and beautiful photos. I look forward to each issue and still go back and enjoy past issues. Subscribing to SEM was not only a gift to our home, but one we've shared with friends and family as far away as California who enjoy it just as much as we do."

"We're renewing our subscription to Southern Exposure Magazine to make sure we don't miss a single issue. We're very focused on preservation issues at the Heritage Foundation and look forward to learning from your magazine each month what is going on with the rest of the community. We depend on Southern Exposure for the broad range of coverage of new businesses, interesting people and community events. Every time you feature one of the Heritage Foundation street festivals or fundraising events, the calls start coming in, so we know you've got the readers! We are especially appreciative of the coverage of our current project, the purchase and restoration of Franklin Theatre on Main Street. Throughout the two years we've been working on it so far, you have stepped forward with in-depth coverage of this huge community undertaking. Then, Southern Exposure became an active participant in the project with the outstanding fundraiser, Turning the Tables, that brought in thousands of dollars when it was so desperately needed. We look forward to working with you in 2010 when we have a newly opened restored theater to feature. Thanks for all you do for the community, and keep the magazines coming!"

Mary Pearce, Executive Director, Heritage Foundation of Franklin and Williamson County

"Southern Exposure Magazine is a stellar publication. I look forward to reading every issue and reading about the people, places, and events in Williamson County. The photography, articles, and profiles are always top-notch. Working for a non-profit organization, we have a very slim marketing budget. I know that my investment in SEM is worth every penny. Additionally, I give gift subscriptions at Christmas every year because I believe in the magazine and know that people will appreciate it. Southern Exposure Magazine is a true community magazine at its best. As Executive Director for Hard Bargain Mt. Hope Redevelopment, I am especially appreciative that a portion of every subscription goes to our organization. This is just one example of how Brandy Blanton and her staff at SEM are committed to giving back to the community."
