What do 90+ placements mean in terms of earned media value? A staggering $42,209,589, with nearly 4.6 billion impressions in just three months! When BHDM DESIGN came to us, they had two primary objectives: to be recognized as a trusted leader in residential, commercial, and hospitality design and to grow their portfolio in the hospitality sector. We responded with a comprehensive national PR strategy that has yielded incredible results. In Q2 alone, our efforts secured over 90+ placements in top-tier publications, including Architectural Digest, Connecticut Magazine, and many more. These placements didn’t just raise BHDM's profile—they established their authority in the industry. But our work is far from over. With Dan Mazzarini, President and Creative Director at BHDM's ambition to grow in the hospitality space and his recent selections as a Wayfair Tastemaker and Jaipur brand ambassador, we’re committed to ensuring that BHDM continues to lead the conversation in design. Our pitching approach is strategic and thoughtful. We consistently target the right audiences, focusing on thought leadership, Dan’s profile, and key stories—even when the news isn’t breaking. This ensures that every placement is a high-impact win aligned with BHDM’s goals. #UpSpring #PressServices #MarketingStats #AgencyBenefits #CaseStudy

Is this connection authentic? We sure hope so! In the fast-paced world of social media, trends come and go, but the key to a brand’s success lies in its ability to connect authentically with its audience. When considering whether to engage in a larger social trend, the first question a brand should ask is: Is this connection authentic? If the answer is yes, then it’s fair game - but beware, consumers are sharp and can spot a gimmick a mile away. Take the “Big Dad Energy” trend, for example. It’s a brilliant illustration of how brands can tap into a social trend in a meaningful way. “Big Dad Energy” took us back to brands that are reliable, practical, and relevant because they’ve never let us down. In a world filled with uncertainty, these brands make sure we’re taken care of. Think Subaru of America, AAA, REI, and LL Bean. These are the brands that embody “Big Dad Energy.” They show up for consumers consistently and authentically. They’re the ones who come to our practices, scrape the ice off our windshields, and make sure we have renters insurance. They don’t just sell products - they offer peace of mind. Incorporating a trend like “Big Dad Energy” isn’t just about being part of the conversation; it’s about reinforcing what your brand already stands for. When done right, it strengthens the connection with your audience and builds long-lasting loyalty. #UpSpring #SocialTrends #BigDadEnergy #AuthenticContent Insights from Associate Vice President of Digital Marketing, Dayna Fucarino Prepis
