All native New Yorkers - except Kristy Wright who was an Army brat and grew up "globally" - the Rare Form team knows New York's club and party scene. They are plugged into the trends and culture that are specific to the NYC's constantly evolving nightlife and have the experience to prove it.

* Cooper Union alumni Tara Duvivier, an analyst for a major bank in New York City, has been involved in New York nightlife for 4 years in various capacities. She has gained much experience in successful party planning and promotion in the past, eventually becoming the person to spawn the idea of this venture and help create it. Tara also enjoys amateur photography.
* Derreck Johnson, when not handling all print and web design duties for Rare Form Promotions, is a full-time graphic designer/web designer for a internationally-known leading nightlife website. The Brooklyn-born and raised/Long Island transplant is also the owner and sole employee of dropheavy digimedia, his freelance design venture.
* Computer expert, web guru and all-around music connoisseur Eric Raphael is a PC technical support staff member at a major medical insurance company. He holds an extensive knowledge of the New York nightlife community, especially social/fashion trends and venues. Being a strong former member of the New York division of the Okayplayer.com street team makes him a valuable asset to the "word on the street" aspect of our team.
* Media relations is no secret to Kristy Wright, full-time public relations executive with over 5 years in the PR industry at major Fortune 500 companies. Her knowledge of the nightlife scene includes, but is not limited to concert and event promotions, special event management/planning, pitching media and media placement. She is also the former Washington, DC division street team manager for Okayplayer.com, overseeing all publicity/promotional activities including guerilla marketing, in-store displays and venue coordination activities.
