Prime Social Group
Founded in 2010, the Prime Social Group (PSG) is a promotional company for concerts, as well as nightlife and various other entertainment events. The Columbus, OH based organization has quickly developed a strong reputation within the music world, endorsing such acts as Tiesto, Wiz Khalifa, Kid Cudi, Deadmau5, Steve Aoki, Kevin Hart, Steve Angello and many more A-list performers. PSG is the brain child of two dynamic young entrepreneurs: Adam Lynn and Zach Ruben. Adam Lynn is the founder of the college event promotion company Social Studyz. Under the guidance of Marcy Szabo, Adam successfully began producing concerts while completing his undergraduate degree in Ann Arbor, MI. Zach Ruben is the founder of Prime Productions, and went on to produce entertainment events in both Columbus and Madison. The two decided to merge their companies for a four-day, college mini-tour. That first event sold over 2,400 tickets, and, thus, Prime Social Group was born. With over 250 events in their first 3 years of business, PSG has developed and expanded into an international promotion corporation. Consisting of tours, concerts, comedy shows, raves and club venues, this mutlifaceted company has a true presence in the music and entertainment industry. While on the hunt for up-and-coming artists, new venues, and potential relationships, PSG is continually pushing the boundaries and providing fans with the ultimate concert experience.
