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!

The NBA Allstar Jam Session is in Dallas this coming weekend! We had the pleasure of supporting last year’s events in Phoenix, and this year’s event is sure to be just as fun and exciting!  Hosted by Adidas, the NBA Allstar Jam Session allows fans to play against actually NBA legends.  To help execute these events, we’ll be working in conjunction with our chums over at the Action Marketing Group. If you are in the Dallas area this weekend , be sure to check it out!

If you happen to be in Salt Lake City over the next two weeks come visit us at Provo Towne Centre, South Towne Center, or Fashion Place Mall and have your holiday gifts wrapped by the Utah Jazz Dancers! We’ve teamed up with 361 Experiential and will be working with them to execute 3 mall activations in Salt Lake City on December 12th and December 13th.

Qwest Communications will be hosting the Utah Jazz Dancers who will be wrapping your Christmas gifts for a small donation to the South Valley Boys and Girls Club. While in line, Qwest is offering to review your bill to see if they can apply any savings on your account. Regardless if they find savings or not, you’ll get a pair of tickets to an upcoming Utah Jazz game.

The holiday season is underway, and we are excited to be working with the Chicago Loop Alliance in promoting Winter Wonderloop.  With deals and special events at restaurants, stores, and hotels, Winter Wonderloop is the premiere guide for all your downtown holiday events.

If you were in the loop late late last week, you probably received a Winter Wonderloop brochure from one of our staff members. We had teams out in full force distributing thousands of brochures to commuters, shoppers and pedestrians.  Be sure to look for us this Thursday and Friday, and we will also be out on the infamous “Black Friday” distributing brochures to all of the Christmas shoppers.  Be sure to say hello, and grab a brochure!

Poster/flyer distribution and printing is probably the first thought when you think about direction tour marketing. However, we offer allot more services in a number of fields that you may not even know about. Did you know we serve as in-market support arms for a number of brands and agencies? Over the years, marketing agencies have reached out to direction and our street level experience to leverage local vendors, production support, brand ambassadors, and shipping logistics. Our years of experience and market knowledge can put your mind at ease before arriving in-market for an event or promotional activation.

Some of the agencies we regularly support include Mirrorball, Action Marketing Group, BMF Media Group,  and their brand clients range from adidas to Zumiez. Chicago serves as our home base but our network of market managers allows for execution across the country, just like our Bustelo activations this past weekend in South Beach! Need local solutions for an upcoming event or promotion, give us a call!

The Most Interesting Man in the World will be bringing his cast of characters to Chicago as the Most Interesting Show in the World.

We’re at it again this week with Hornitos Tequila. Over the course of the summer, we’ve produced 9 Hornitos Mischieve parties at bars and clubs throughout the city. This Thursday, we’ll be setting up at Roscoes’s (3356 N. Halsted) from 10PM through 12AM. We’ll be sampling a variety of fantastic Hornitos cocktails including my favorite, the Horni Wallbanger. The Horni Wallbanger is two parts Hornitos Plata, 4 parts OJ, and 1 part Galliano… Delish!

This past weekend, we had the privilege of working a unique event in Salt Lake City, UT.
