Tastemaker and Tastemaking Spring Mash Up with Leah Palone, Senior Marketing Director and Abby Bieglaus, Lifestyle Editor at Boston Magazine and Marni Katz, Style Writer, Curator and Blogger
The delicate dance between a designer and style "broadcaster" is critical to our line of work. Creating a product/service, then talking about the same product/service means building strong brand identity and maintaining relationships with partners who have the range to create buzz. Designers need marketers, style editors and bloggers... and vice versa. If you are a small business, you likely have a tiny budget for PR and fancy promotion campaigns. Luckily, Boston in filled with generous, creative women who dig building the community of designers and makers; connecting those who make with those who curate.
Please join us on Tuesday, May 1st at Lekker Home for a panel discussion with some Fabulous ladies of Boston Magazine and Style write Marni Katz for a little spring refresher on sharing your product with the community. Feel free to share photos or examples of your work.

Marketing Sh*t
CKO of Sh*t That I Knit
Please join Design Salon and Christina Fagan at Neoscape on Tuesday night. Christina's shit is ON FIRE! She has managed to make knitting very cool and has turned her high end knitwear into "a thing" by using a catchy company name, along with clever instagram tricks. Christina, a Boston area native, has taken her passion for knitting to a whole new level.... the marketplace
is loving Christia's sh*t!
Sh*t That I Knit is a knitwear company based out of Boston, MA. Our Founder and CKO (Chief Knitting Officer), Christina, learned how to knit as a 10 year old from the CMO (Chief Mom Officer) in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. As we head into our third season selling knit sh*t, we now employ a group of women in Lima, Peru who are much better knitters than we are. Because of companies like ours, they can knit from home- enabling them to take care of their children while bringing in income to support their families.
Sh*t That I Knit was founded out of a serious love of knitting and a minor love for joking around about the word sh*t. We like to keep it light, but to get mushy for a moment, it's because of people like you, supporting small business and insane entrepreneurs, that we get to live out this dream life everyday.
Thank you for supporting our dreams - we sincerely hope you love your knit sh*t as much as we love making it!!
When: Tuesday, January 30
Time: 7:00
Where: Neoscape
23 Drydock Ave Suite 710W
