Event PR
It's not very often I get to share event public relations tips with other industry personnel. In fact, I think the last article may have been with BizBash last December. So I was very happy when Anna Sawyer at Guidebook wanted to include my advice in an article they posted yesterday. The concept of their application and service is invaluable to those hosting events with multiple activities taking place at the same time.
You can read what tip I shared by clicking here. However, I do want to share this to our friends. Working with the media for events is totally different than working with them for brand campaigns. There is a whole other set of expectations the media has for your promotional events.
The basic principles of getting the word to them early applies, but event publicity is all about the experience in the end. Think about this at the beginning of your planning and everything should go more smoothly for you. Or you can just contact our office for assistance.
Take some time today to think about what events you will want to host in 2015. This will give you a much better chance of success in attendance and coverage if you do so.
Enjoy the rest of your week and when you have a moment, go and check out our site to see what else we have to offer you for 2015.
Sincerely,
Ebony T. Grimsley

The presence of sugar in our lives is nearly inescapable. From Candy Land to Candy Crush Saga, visions of sugary wonderlands populate some of our culture’s favorite pastimes. And if the inviting images of sweets in bright, saturated colors aren’t enough to tingle our taste buds, the actual sweets we consume are brimming with enough sugar to light up the pleasure centers of our brain, and to make us return for more. “Sugar Rush†will focus on artworks that address the topic from multiple perspectives. Works can celebrate sweetness, or criticize it, or simply reference it in technique; works may mimic the saturated, rainbow colors of candy or the thick swirls of cake frosting. They can be any 2D or 3D mediums including but not limited to: works on paper, prints, books, paintings, sculptures, and installation.
Application Deadline – November 17, 2014. Click here to enter.
