Child'ss Play Communications, the leading public relations and marketing communications agency specializing in reaching moms, this week held its first annual Bloggers Brunch. Designed to connect top brands with influential mom bloggers just in time for the holiday shopping season, the brunch attracted two dozen representatives from leading parenting blogs including People.com'ss Celebrity Baby Blog, Glamour.com'ss Storked! and Parents.com'ss GoodyBlog. Guests at the event reach an audience of well over 5 million moms.
We were thrilled with the turnout, both in terms of bloggers and exhibitors, said Stephanie Azzarone, president of Child'ss Play. Online media relations is an imperative for any
successful communications campaign today. At the Bloggers Brunch, companies had a rare opportunity to meet with and provide in-depth, one-on-one product demonstrations to many of the
country'ss top online parenting media.
The event, held at the elegant Williams Club in New York City, consisted of product displays, beauty treatments, raffle prizes, luncheon and ample time for one:one meetings between
bloggers and exhibitors. Each blogger received product samples, press kits and promotional materials.
Exhibitors included: Disney Publishing, DK Publishing, Elmer'ss Products, Fathom Studios, Genius Products, JAKKS-Pacific, Orlando/Orange County Convention 's38; Visitors Bureau, Petite
Palate and StainedGlassNYC. Beauty services were provided by Clarins.
