Stay & Play Fridays

Stay & Play Fridays was a new summertime event series for PUMP (Pittsburgh Urban Magnet Project). Not only did TRE manage all logistics related to this 11-week event and secure over 25 media hits; but we also produced two publicity stunts-- the 200-person "Freeze" and Pittsburgh's first doughnut eating contest.

With several hundred people in attendance each week, Stay & Play achieved the organization's goal of activating the streets of Market Square after 5pm and at the same time gave PUMP a ton of media exposure. Here is a sample of just a few of the articles and videos from these great events:

It's been an incredibly busy year for TRE Communications. We opened a second office in Los Angeles, planned a ton of high profile events and successfully placed our clients in a range of media outlets from television stations in San Francisco to the front page of the Wall Street Journal.

We are thankful for a great 2008 and anticipate an even better 2009. Our wish for the coming year is that all of our friends, family and colleagues have a joyous 2009 filled with love, laughter and happiness.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
