Client City Of New Haven Year 2024 Scope of Work Communications & Marketing Assets, Go-To-Market Strategy, Content Creation, Public Relations, Brand Partnerships, Event Planning & Management Industry Muncipality Here's the Sitch (aka Situation) The Connecticut Office of the Arts (COA) is dedicated to fostering the health of Connecticut's creative economy. Guided by the belief that the arts are a human right, COA supports participation and arts-making for all people. To bring this vision to life, Creative U was born—a dynamic two-day conference led by Sweets & Sounds Entertainment, hosted by the City of New Haven, and powered by COA. The goal: create a space for learning, collaboration, and networking while directly connecting creatives to employment opportunities in arts and entertainment. BRVC was brought on to help launch the first Creative Workforce Arts & Entertainment Career Fair, a centerpiece of the event. The challenge was to craft a go-to-market strategy that not only drove awareness and attendance but also created a meaningful experience for both job-seekers and employers. Our Approach To ensure the event's success, BRVC implemented a multi-layered strategy that integrated marketing, communications, and on-the-ground event execution. Strategic Planning & Positioning: Developed messaging to position the career fair as a one-of-a-kind, free opportunity for creatives and employers. Created the Creative Workforce: Arts & Entertainment Major, a workshop series to prepare participants with networking, innovation, and career advancement skills. Content Creation & Marketing: Designed engaging visuals, promotional content, and registration funnels to build excitement and drive attendance. Leveraged storytelling across social media and PR outreach to highlight the event’s unique value Partnership Development: Secured key partnerships with local arts organizations and businesses to broaden outreach and participation. Event Execution: Managed day-of logistics including registration, employer coordination, panel discussions, and interactive features such as: Live music by DJ Ch’Varda Free headshots for attendees Networking Bingo 1:1 office hours with industry experts Keynote conversation with guest speaker Pretty Vee Qualitative Feedback Attendees appreciated connecting with employers exclusively focused on arts and entertainment: “At most career fairs, no employers are geared toward the arts. This event was a game changer.” One employer shared immediate ROI: “I’ve already contracted a design project with a candidate I met at the fair and have meetings scheduled with two others. I wouldn’t have found this talent otherwise.”

Our mood going into this project: Our Approach Keeping the production company's desire for unification and amplification in mind, we worked with Y-A, Snacks and The Breed Entertainment team to create The Breed Weekend---the first 4-day event that bridged gaps in Connecticut’s entertainment scene through interactive moments.

Specifically, our marketing and PR efforts resulted in: The creation of sponsorship opportunities as well as outreach that produced partnerships with Shine Papers, Connecticut Office of The Arts, Audiomack, Martell USA, Single Mom’s Alliance and the City of New Haven The creation of vendor opportunities that resulted in the involvment of local small businesses: Kenzie Kare, Concreat, Z For Everybody & Typsy Gypsy Earned 200,000+ impressions and 20,000+ engagement activity on Instagram Earned media coverage from Incline Magazine, CT Breakthrough, Power of Connecticut & IGASTT Podcast (estimated 20,000+impressions) Developed messaging for promotional video that was featured on a mobile advertisement Received attendance and involvement from influential experts familiar with funding Connecticut artists, the art of DJing, record labels/music industry, content producers, management and music producers.

Artists came to "plug" their latest music for Connecticut's entertainment scene to enjoy. This event was hosted by Martell Cognac; and sponsored by Audiomack and Shine Papers. Bridging The Gap | The Breed Weekend 2019 Bridging the Gap was a night that combined interactive networking with a "town hall" discussion about breaking down walls and emphasizing the possibilities of success for everyone. Featured speakers included: Hot 93.7's Big Regg, Connecticut Office of the Arts' Adriane Vegas Jefferson, Chill Shump (music producer) and more. The Breed Day Party | The Breed Weekend 2019 The Breed Day Party 2019 was an opportunity for creatives and beyond to come together and have a good time!

The festival included a primary art exhibit (which opened on August 26, 2023), satellite events, and a Summit (held on October 14, 2023). To promote the festival as a whole and each individual event, and ultimately to contribute to ticket sales and attendance, The BRVC Company recommended a PR campaign from July to October 2023, followed by the distribution of a press release. Our Approach Phase 1: Audit BRVC conducted a competitor coverage analysis and assessed past media coverage, along with the online representation of the brand. Phase 2: Strategic Communications Plan The plan was designed to introduce the 6th Dimension Festival, promote individual events, and highlight the festival’s peak event — the summit — to drive sales and attendance. The core narratives focused on Afrofuturism, the festival’s program, and creating activism. The goal was to secure an average of 2 earned media placements per month, based on findings from the audit. Phase 3: Implementation & Analysis BRVC executed media outreach targeting local tourism and news, national arts and culture outlets, BIPOC interests, and education and activism. Additionally, influencers and key industry leaders were engaged to help promote the festival.

    Alexi Paraschos Singer & Songwriter Pays Tribute to the Virtual Weddings of the Coronavirus Client Alexi Paraschos: Video Tribute to Virtual Weddings Year 2020 Scope of Work Brand Messaging Development, Public Relations Industry Entertainment Here's the Sitch (aka Situation) An album release during the beginning of the pandemic lockdown wasn't ideal, yet award-winning artist, Alexi Paraschos' music celebrated love in the midst of challenges. Called "blue-eyed soul for the 2ist century," Alexi Paraschos is an award-winning soul, R&B, and pop singer/songwriter based in Philadelphia. He is known for his smooth tenor voice paired with original, catchy melodies, which give him his unique and captivating sound. Inspired by a trip to his father's homeland of Greece in 2018, Alexi wanted to bring awareness to his project "Love Odyssey," which pays homage to his Greek heritage, and his subsequent wedding engagement to his longtime partner. Our Approach In a 3-month "Love Odyssey" campaign we worked alongside influencer and social media marketing agency, DRTR Agency, to craft a compelling narrative that would not only make R&B fans aware of Alexi, but also listen to the album. To lead our strategy, we leveraged Alexi's existing accolades (i.e. awards, playing at SXSW Music Festival, and successfully kickstarting an East Coast Diner Tour) and notable album features (hip hop veteran, Jadakiss; Grammy-award winner, Chrisette Michele, Natalie Stewart from Floetry and more) to push the leading single, "Mine." Since the release was at the beginning of the pandemic lockdown which halted all performances, music videos and in-person opportunities to generate awareness, we suggested that Alexi (whose wedding was pushed back for the unforeseeable future), spotlight couples who had virtual weddings for the release of the single's video. Our Impact & Client Milestones In addition to a press release, our tailored pitches earned 7 placements on local, regional and national platforms (Estimated impressions: 38M+). 29% of coverage were music reviews, 57% were profiles or features highlighting Alexi's brand story. The "Mine" music video featured 30 newlyweds representing sixteen states, six countries, and four continents. Notable media coverage: New York Times, Philadelphia Magazine, ThisIsRnB, and Soul Tracks. The story was also picked up by NECN (an NBC affiliate).
