The Work

Our PR plan was focused on spreading awareness about the new opening within the local community through pre and post opening press releases. We also issued a recruitment driving press release. Outside of media outreach, we supported with the planning for the Grand Store Opening by organising a local photographer, inviting the Mayor to cut the ribbon, as well as inviting influencers and journalists to spend a voucher in the store.
