Public Relations & Communications
When the company decided to bring its popular production “Beyond Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience” to Jacksonville, stakeholders engaged Wingard to generate local interest through public relations.
More than 130,000 tickets were sold in Jacksonville, breathing new life into our Downtown’s North Core (NoCo), and celebrating a 19th-century artist in a way uniquely fit for a 21st-century audience. Before getting started, we conducted extensive research on what had been done to promote the show in other markets, including reviewing case studies and programming, to gain an understanding of successful strategies. We then planned and executed the Jacksonville engagement of the experience, working alongside Paquin’s national PR and media teams, the City of Jacksonville, nonprofit partners, the host venue’s ownership team and management, and our local media to share this one-of-a-kind experience through a multi-tiered public relations strategy — resulting in hundreds of media hits from the preview phase to closing day.
In the years since then, our efforts have resulted in hundreds of positive earned media placements in local, regional, and national outlets, ranging from industry awards and coverage of new construction developments throughout the project life cycle, to client success stories and thought leadership opportunities.
In addition, our design team meticulously crafted packaging that not only captured attention but also embodied the unique essence of each brand, evoking anticipation and excitement on the shelf.
