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.
