George “Mikey” Ransom Turner III is a Georgia-based entrepreneur, sales executive, event producer, military veteran, and strategic partnership builder whose career has centered around connecting people, brands, businesses, and communities through media, events, technology, and relationship-driven business development.

Born and raised in Savannah, Georgia, George developed an early reputation as a leader, athlete, and connector. During his years at Calvary Day School, he earned recognition as one of the state’s top three-point shooters, helped lead multiple playoff teams, earned regional honors, and was selected as a Wendy’s High School Heisman nominee. His experiences in athletics helped shape the competitive mindset, discipline, and leadership philosophy that would later define his entrepreneurial and professional career.

Following high school and college studies, George served in the United States Army, where he trained and worked in Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) operations. His military service included deployment to the Middle East in support of national security operations. The Army strengthened his abilities in logistics, operations management, crisis response, team leadership, and mission execution under pressure.

After military service, George built a career in sales, marketing, telecommunications, and business development. Over the years he gained experience in both residential and business-to-business sales environments, helping customers navigate technology, communications, advertising, and connectivity solutions. His background includes telecommunications and media sales, local business marketing, digital advertising, and relationship management across diverse industries.

Today, George serves as a Spectrum Residential & Business Services professional, helping individuals, families, property managers, apartment communities, real estate professionals, builders, and business owners access internet, mobile, television, and business connectivity solutions. His approach extends beyond traditional sales. Rather than simply selling products, he focuses on building referral ecosystems and strategic partnerships that create long-term value for customers and partners alike.

In addition to his corporate career, George is widely recognized as the Founder and Owner of the Orange Crush brand platform. What began as a cultural event concept evolved into a broader ecosystem that includes entertainment, media, tourism, community engagement, sponsorship opportunities, and event production initiatives. Through Orange Crush, George has worked to build a recognizable regional brand that attracts students, young professionals, creators, businesses, sponsors, and community stakeholders from across the Southeast.

His vision for Orange Crush extends beyond festivals and events. He views the platform as a long-term media, lifestyle, and economic-development vehicle capable of generating opportunities for entrepreneurs, creators, local businesses, nonprofit organizations, and corporate partners. His long-range strategy includes event production, media distribution, digital content, tourism activation, educational programming, business networking, sponsorship sales, and community investment initiatives.

One of George’s strongest professional skills is sponsorship development. He specializes in identifying mutually beneficial relationships between brands and audiences, creating partnership opportunities that align business objectives with measurable community engagement. His work involves connecting businesses with consumers through experiential marketing, live events, digital media, grassroots outreach, and strategic visibility campaigns.

Throughout his career, George has developed relationships with:

• Apartment Communities
• Property Management Companies
• Realtors and Real Estate Brokerages
• Home Builders and Developers
• Mortgage Professionals
• Insurance Agencies
• Small Businesses
• Chambers of Commerce
• Community Organizations
• Corporate Sponsors
• Media Partners
• Entertainment Professionals
• Local Government Stakeholders

His philosophy is that every successful business is built on relationships, trust, and consistency. Whether working with a residential internet customer, a local business owner, a major sponsor, or a community partner, George focuses on creating genuine connections that lead to long-term growth and collaboration.

As a service-disabled veteran, entrepreneur, father, sales professional, and community advocate, George’s mission is to build sustainable businesses and partnerships that create opportunities for others while generating measurable economic impact. He believes technology, connectivity, media, and entrepreneurship can serve as powerful tools for community development and upward mobility.

Looking ahead, George’s vision includes becoming one of the Southeast’s leading partnership and sponsorship professionals while continuing to expand Orange Crush into a nationally recognized media and events platform. By combining telecommunications, media, sponsorships, business development, and community engagement, he aims to build a legacy centered on innovation, opportunity, and meaningful connections between people and organizations.

At the center of everything he does is a simple philosophy:

“Relationships create opportunities. Opportunities create growth. Growth creates impact.”
