This in-depth look at an award-winning (Bronze Bernays Award, 2012) PR case study will include information on:

  • Developing a robust media relations campaign of proactive outreach on events, milestones and other news
  • Leveraging the burgeoning food, wine and art scenes, including “Baja Med” cuisine, the more than 70 vineyards in wine country, and Tijuana’s  creative boom
  • Bringing Anthony Bourdain to film an episode of “No Reservations”
  • Using third party testimonials and seeding opinion article from American celebrities, those living in Baja, and frequent American visitors to tell the real Baja story
