We recently started working with The Shops at the Bravern, a stylish shopping center in Bellevue that offers a wide variety of shops and restaurants such as Neiman Marcus, Karen Millen, Tory Burch and local favorites John Howie Steak and Chocopolis.
Our first task was driving awareness for The Bravern’s Christmas tree lighting on Fri., Nov. 19, which also served as the kick-off to its “Enchanted Holidays at The Bravern.” Hosted by KIRO TV’s Jenni Hogan, along with the SeaGals escorting Santa’s sleigh, attendees were treated to carolers, kettle corn and hot cocoa to help kick-off the holiday shopping season in style.
In order to drive awareness and attendance at the event, we developed a media alert and conducted outreach to local print and broadcast media as well fashion, food and mommy bloggers. As a result of our outreach we garnered coverage in several local publications including 425 Magazine, Bellevue Reporter, Downtown Bellevue Network, MOMStart, Red Tricycle. We also secured more than 18 placements in local event calendars.
The tree lighting was only the beginning of a season full of wonderful holiday events at The Bravern. The Bravern has a wide variety of fun holiday activities for the whole family including free pony rides, breakfast with Santa and Mrs. Claus, cookie decorating and photos and letters with Santa. Big kids at heart are invited to partake in “Cool Winter Nights,” a happy hour-inspired evening by the fire sipping cocktails and enjoying nibbles from Wild Ginger. If you are interested in any of these events, feel free to visit The Bravern’s holiday website at http://www.thebravern.com/holiday.
If you’ve never experienced The Bravern, the holidays are a great time to visit, whether it’s shopping for the perfect gift or looking for a unique stress-free holiday experience for the family. Communiqué decided to host our holiday gathering at The Bravern enjoying spa services at Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spas and lunch at Wild Ginger. It was a perfect place to relax and enjoy each other’s company.
