We organized staff in Portland, OR and Jacksonville, FL who are demonstrating the miCoach gear and system.  They will also be stationed at annual races (Shamrock Run in Portland, Gate River Run in Jacksonville) in order to pass out promo materials, and get runners excited about miCoach.  If you’re in either city this weekend, be sure to stop by and see our teams in action!

This past weekend, we had the opportunity to manage an event at the  annual Coconut Grove Arts Festival in Miami in support of Cafe Bustelo. If you were lucky enough to be in Florida and attended the fest, you most likely saw our staff passing out postcards that were redeemable at Cafe Bustelo’s flagship store for a free espresso. The staff was able to soak up the sun while promoting one of the best brands of Cuban coffee.

Just a reminder to our friends around the country; direction tour marketing can manage and staff events in practically every major city. Be sure to think of us when you need seasoned brand ambassadors for your next event!
