LA Publicist Recommended Event – Olive Juice Trunk Show and Pampering Event at Le Posh Salon

As a Los Angeles publicist it is our job to stay on top of the latest and greatest events the city has to offer. Whether for networking or mere enjoyment, we try to share those events with you as often as possible. As such, I felt compelled to share an upcoming client event as it will definitely be one for the books! On Saturday May 14th from 11AM to 3PM our client Olive Juice will be hosting a trunk show and pampering event at (our other client) Le Posh Salon. Offering 20% off of Olive Juice’s Spring/Summer 2011 collection, as well as a select menu of “Mommy and Me” spa services, this event is perfect for moms who are looking to do a little shopping and grooming at the same time! To make it even better, Le Posh will be offering champagne for adults and Shirley Temples for the kiddies. To find out more about the event you can visit the Olive Juice Facebook page. To RSVP email your name (or list of names) to info@konnect-pr.com. Hope to see you there!

March Madness

While I am also interested in the more well-known March Madness (i.e. college basketball), the March Madness I am referring to is the constant chaos that we at our LA public relations agency are continuing to enjoy as far as press booking, event planning, etc. Being that this “madness” tends to leave us a bit at a loss for words (and brain cells) towards the end of the day and even more so at the end of the week, I thought I would post some of the recent March press that you can see our clients in including the new issue of Lucky Kids (Olive Juice and Bambeeno Cashmere on the same page!) and Bride & Bloom (Papeterie). Happy St. Patrick’s Day

Goodbye LA, Hello NY.

If you are a fan of my traveling publicist posts then get ready for some exciting news. Tomorrow I will be departing the beautiful city of Los Angeles for the the big apple to assist a few of our clients with the ENK Chidlren’s Club trade show. A meeting of the best the children’s apparel industry has to offer, this show features the best of the best including Konnect PR’s very own Olive Juice and Bambeeno Cashmere. Should anyone reading this by chance be attending the show, make sure to stop by and visit Olive Juice at booth #8945 and Bambeeno Cashmere at booth #9407, and sure I guess you could say hi to your favorite LA public relations representative too

Olive Juice {ol*iv joos}

While I have been wanting to post this photo for some time now, amidst the craziness that is our work schedule, it got lost in the shuffle and has today just resurfaced. Working at a public relations agency, there are constantly a million things going on – pitches to get out, press materials to be written, conference calls and meetings to be had, etc. While it does get hectic (and time management becomes VERY important) it is the contact that we have with our amazing clients that makes it all worthwhile.

At our Los Angeles public relations agency we are fortunate enough to have a roster of clients we love, one of whom is Olive Juice. While in NY a couple weeks ago, we were able to take a couple days to go to Philadelphia and meet with Maryellen and Kathy over at Olive Juice. Knowing they they are just as busy as us, there is never really any “extra” time to spare on day-long meetings but we do them anyway because both of us, client and publicist, are entirely invested in the brand. We love working with Maryellen and Kathy and the entire Olive Juice team (Jim, Barbara this includes you too!) and as a token of our love and appreciation wanted to post this photo of the four of us at dinner at Susanna Foo during our trip.

If nothing else remember to say “olive juice” to someone this long weekend

Planes, Trains and Automobiles.

At Konnect PR our method of travel is to maximize our time in one place by accomplishing as much as possible. For example, in the last 5 days Sabina and I have traveled with samples, press kits, luggage, and more by plane, train and automobile through the east coast to New York, Philadelphia and everywhere in between. While the thought of shlepping around in 10 lbs of clothing with an additional 15 lbs of various samples and press materials sounds unappealing (and believe me it is) the end result is well worth it. At our public relations agency we believe that we must constantly be where the press is, and the fact is that a lot of the national press is in New York. We pride ourselves on getting in front of those media contacts which we treasure and work with every day and creating a relationship that becomes much more valuable than a chain of e-mails and a couple of phone calls. In addition, we also pride ourselves on being in touch with our clients. Our client Olive Juice is based in a small suburb outside of Philadelphia. With a heavy onslaught of orders coming in, they found it difficult to get away for a moment to come and meet with us to plan 2011. So what did we do… hop a train to Philly, samples, luggage and all. While it may seem ilogical to leave the Los Angeles 75 degree weather to go a place where the high is about 15 or lower a day, this is what sets us apart from other PR agencies and this is why we do the amazing job we do. Below you can get an idea of what we have been dealing with on a daily basis. If this doesn’t show you that we are serious about our work/ clients than I don’t know what will!
