Shreveport Looks to Welcome 1,000 Jobs Amid Company Scrutiny

Shreveport is abuzz with excitement as the promise of over 1,000 jobs looms on the horizon, courtesy of Platinum Hits Entertainment. This company, spearheaded by Napoleon Brewer, presents itself as a titan in the realm of talent booking and live event production. They have set their sights on expanding their operations into the Shreveport-Bossier area, a move that many locals hope will boost the local economy.

A Closer Look at Platinum Hits Entertainment

With existing offices in major cities like Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Detroit, Los Angeles, and New York, Platinum Hits claims to bring a wealth of experience to the table. However, recent investigations have raised eyebrows regarding their legitimacy. It turns out that the company is officially registered only in Georgia, and the physical addresses listed for their supposed offices in Atlanta and Los Angeles seem to be nothing more than virtual office spaces.

Job Prospects: What’s on Offer?

Despite the scrutiny, Brewer is optimistic about the job opportunities in Shreveport. He mentioned that the roles available would span across various areas, with the majority being remote positions. This could be a win-win, enabling flexibility for employees and potential employment options for many. In fact, Brewer has set an ambitious timeline, expressing hope to open a physical office within the next eight days, coinciding with the end of the month.

In addition to the job openings, there’s talk of securing a warehouse space for a magazine venture tied to the company. However, when probed about the specific future location for the office or where potential job interviews would be held, details were sparse. Brewer, citing his lengthy background in the entertainment industry, emphasized that the project is still in its early stages.

Official Responses: Where’s the Communication?

Interestingly, representatives from the offices of Shreveport Mayor Tom Arceneaux and Bossier City Mayor Tommy Chandler have confirmed that they have not had any direct conversations with Brewer or anyone from Platinum Hits Entertainment concerning this potential project. This lack of communication raises questions about the company’s plans and how they intend to move forward in the Shreveport area.
