Thanksgiving Is Only a Week Away
November 17, 2011 6:26pm7 days left and counting until this LA publicist’s favorite holiday of the year.

We are even having our own little Thanksgiving feast here at Konnect PR and we are planning to go all out with a turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie, cranberry sauce and sparkling apple cider.
Everyone here at Konnect PR wishes you a…

LA Publicist Cracks UP…Literally
November 10, 2011 5:59pmOne of our daily tasks working at a pr agency is to research media outlets and find potential features that would be a good fit for our clients. While I was busy working on this task, I came across something that I felt obliged to share with everyone here at Konnect PR.
Want to know what made everyone at this pr agency go “AWWWWW!” See for yourself….
Isn’t this the cutest picture ever!!? Not only does it mention one of my favorite Pixar movies of all time, “Up,” but the little boy in this picture is a spitting image of the old man, Carl, from the movie (except about 70 years younger). This LA publicist absolutely loves this picture! So much so, that whenever I am having a down moment, I pull up this picture and I crack a smile.

The Fashion Industry Promotes Itself In An Annual After-Hours Extravaganza
September 8, 2011 6:49pm
From Manhattan to Milan, Atlanta to Australia, boutiques, department stores and even neighborhood pop-up shops across the globe will stay open after hours TONIGHT to help celebrate what many call the single biggest shopping event of the year (yes, even larger than ‘Black Friday’)- Fashion’s Night Out!
Having started in 2009 as a way to encourage consumers to shop ‘til they drop all in the name of supporting the fashion industry, this is an event filled with celebrities who want to be seen, designers who want to be known, and of course die hard shoppers (I included) who want those exclusive items that were virtually unknown and/or unattainable up until this very moment. Since its inception, Fashion’s Night Out has expanded to more than 15 countries, with each year becoming more popular than the previous. How you ask? Promotion of course, with a team of people behind FNO publicizing the heck out of it! And this year, they made sure to get the public’s attention in one of the top ways we’re communicating today- through technology and social media.
A special (and FREE) Fashion’s Night Out cell phone app was released earlier this month (for iPhone and Android) which allows users to receive real time event information with “around me” options that help them navigate throughout the night. You can even communicate plans with friends via e-mail, Facebook, and Twitter, making a meeting at Jimmy Choo as simple as a few taps.
It’s a brilliant idea if you ask me, way to think like a publicist FNO.
