#KCinNYC Media Event

Did you know that Kansas City is home to James Beard-recognized chefs, one of the world’s most acclaimed bartenders and NPR’s favorite new artist of 2018? Neither do most! As part of Kansas City’s talent attraction effort, Violet PR organized a high-profile media event in New York City featuring the best of Kansas City’s food, drink, music and culture. The goal of our event was to attract attention for KC’s creative community—with great restaurants, art galleries, musicians, breweries, distilleries and more. In 2018, Violet PR attracted over 70 top tier journalists to attend the event. The #KCinNYC hashtag was used 100+ times and numerous outlets, including Forbes, Time Out NY and CNBC, highlighted the region in post-event coverage. Total media impressions surpassed 1.4M.
