Special Events Exploitation

We believe that most companies make two critical mistakes when it comes to special events.

First, they plan and execute special events that have no inherent news or promotional value - dooming them to also ran status from the start.
Secondly, they depend totally on paid advertising to support special events - missing a golden opportunity to achieve the event's full potential.

Our forte, is to get the most out of special events - the most news coverage, the most store traffic, and the most sales.
