Our Pulsating Public Relations Report To End A Terrific 2019
BEAUTIFUL EVENT IF NOT BEAUTIFUL TIMING
FITZ GLITZ
SIP & STROLL
Celebrating the achievements above wasn’t the reason we helped Vestar Development Co. craft and pass legislation to help its Desert Ridge Marketplace and Tempe Marketplace become the first retail properties in the state to be able to drink cocktails while shopping. But we are still happy we did. As are shoppers around the Valley who have expressed a lot of enthusiasm about the innovative change that reminds us why Vestar is so good at what it does, staying ahead of the retail curve and delivering great experiences to shoppers. Check it out for yourself here.
NOTHING BUT NET
Getting anything through Scottsdale these days can be a challenge. But we have been around the city awhile and know its political rhythm well. This insight allowed us to help terrific team efforts that led to unanimous City Council approvals for two landmark projects in the latter part of 2019: Gentry on the Green and Museum Square. Both took a more creative, involved and innovative path toward entitlement requests, achieving consensus and enthusiasm along the way. Read the full stories here and here
SEXY BEAST
There will be no cooler or celebrated Arizona project when it opens next year than the new Ritz-Carlton and Residences in Paradise Valley. We were thrilled to be re-engaged by the project on new matters and look forward to communicating more, as necessary, to help it achieve additional objectives. Click here to read the full story.
GOOD DUDE. GOODWILL.
BEST IN CLASS
Mountain Shadows. Silverleaf. Desert Mountain. Paradise Ridge. Cholla Heights on Camelback Mountain. The Valley’s best custom home builder, Cullum Homes, sure likes the best properties to build on. And we helped them announce another: Ironwood Golf Villas, which is just off Scottsdale Road along Camelback Country Club in Paradise Valley. And they have an even bigger announcement coming soon. Stay tuned.
BEST IN CLASS 2
Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty is a first with no equals when it comes to sales in the Valley luxury home market. That’s what the numbers say. And the press we did for the company and its impressive agents throughout 2019, did too.
COMMUNICATING ALONG THE COLORADO
CLEANING UP
Phoenix is a metropolitan area with relatively few major corporate headquarters. But Republic Services is one of them and a Fortune 300 Company. What a pleasure they are to work with. In the past few months we have helped the company achieve key successes in Phoenix and Apache Junction, and are helping them gain additional achievements in several other cities too.
NOBLE CAUSE
NOBLE CAUSE 2
We love doing work for the Southwest Wildlife Conservation Center. We have called their founder the Mother Theresa of Arizona animals. Her facility and organization is incredible. And besides their angelic work rehabilitating the most vulnerable Southwest Wildlife may be another with big news in 2020 too. Here’s a link to the full story.
SHAPE UP
That’s what Mountainside Fitness helps so many do. What a homegrown success story it is. And it keeps expanding while we try to keep up with all the press announcements for them!
WHAT A NIGHT
What do you get when you combine the greatest rock concert promoter in Arizona history with the greatest left hander in the history of baseball, an Olympic gold medal swimmer and an inspiring hip hop artists who is mute? One incredible night to raise money for the Scottsdale Firefighter’s Association. As we all enter a new decade we are very grateful that we are about to enter our second decade with this terrific organization and event.
COOL COUPLE.
Not people but two new issues we are excited to assist with. First, for Greenlight Communities as one of the Valley’s most successful condominium and multi-family developers pivots into the “attainable” housing space. You will be hearing more, very shortly. And then there is the visionary that is Shawn Yari, who has presided over the rebirth of the Galleria Corporate Center in Old Town Scottsdale as well as the area’s “Entertainment District.” Now seeking to mature the area further we are excited to assist his emerging, arts-oriented redevelopment plans.
QUEEN OF HEARTS
scheduled for November, 2020. Congratulations Jen!
POTPOURRI
A special welcome Leslie Owen, our new Director of Event Logistics, who joined the team this past November. Among other items she will be assisting is the return of Arizona’s Best Kentucky Derby Party, the Bulleit Bourbon Derby Dayclub at Turf Paradise on Saturday, May 2nd. It’s a sister event of the Scottsdale Polo Party and the only Kentucky Derby event in Arizona with live horse racing, gambling and the fun and look of the Bentley Scottsdale Polo Championships. We are also strongly considering an early June “World’s Most Beautiful Polo Event” in Sedona.
SHOW TIME
We started our year-end report by talking about the new James Bond movie. But for us, early 2020 will be marked by the World Premiere of Americano! The Musical. Being produced by firm partner Jason Rose and the RMA team it will help anchor The Phoenix Theatre Company’s 100th Anniversary. Americano! is an extraordinary work that will be among the finest artistic endeavors Phoenix has ever created. We hope all will take a moment to check it out at AmericanoTheMusical.com and go see it from January 29th-February 23rd. The music by Carrie Rodriguez and Sergio Mendoza is so good that a concept album is being released by Time Life Warner before the debut of the show!
THANK YOU FOR READING OUR LATEST. ALL OF US ARE WISHING YOU A PROSPEROUS 2020!
