Konnect Agency

The More the Merrier!

by

Great news today at your favorite Los Angeles Public Relations Firm! Our extraordinary intern, Melissa has just officially been made a part of the Konnect PR team.  I can’t help but remember the day I came to work as an intern and left a publicist.  Nothing beats the feeling of a job offer, especially from a company like ours where we have such a great group of women. What is even more exciting is that Melissa will be working with the girls and I to book all kinds of stellar press for our franchise clients.

Congratulations Melissa! We cannot wait to have you in the office full time!

Our other amazing intern just finished up her last day and is headed back to Georgia to finish up her senior year.  Monica has been such a delight to have around the office and we can only hope that upon graduating she might hop on a plane back out west where we will meet again.

I have to admit that being an intern is tough, but if I have learned anything from my time at Konnect, it is that all hard work pays off in the end. Interns of the world- Keep on keepin’ on! I promise you that job offer is worth the wait!

Until next time,

Where did the Weekend Go?

by

When Monday comes, I get amnesia about the weekend. It’s like it went by so quickly not to mention, its the hardest day to get out of the bed. Waking up at 5 am on a Monday morning is like waking up to a fluorescent light after being  in a dark cave for hours — it feels like your eyes are burning. Then if you have any sort of a commute (like me) it seems as if your limbs are broken and can barely move.

Now I know you are all thinking that LA Publicists wake up energetic and ready to go — that is generally the case Tuesday -Friday, but Mondays are different. We are coffee addicts on Mondays. In fact, something that gives us a natural energy boost are the new chilled coffee beverages from Bean & Body Coffee. They have many different flavors that fit our various fancies. Around 11 AM, we are all energized and on the move!

And once the coffee kicks in — we power up our computers and get this LA Public Relations firm running! (although we never really stop running lol! )

However, although we survive Mondays, I can’t help but wonder where did the week go? (it probably went where the wild things go).

Well until someone can figure out this mystery — I shall get back to work. Happy Monday Y’all !

A Very Crammed Public Relations Agency

by

Today has been the first week in which LA publicists, assistants, interns, social media coordinators, managers, and CEOs alike have all been squeezed (or, squazed) on one side of this public relations office. The entire other side of our office has been closed off, because we are knocking down walls and expanding into an even bigger and better public relations firm! In the meantime, samples, boxes, furniture, and even people will be crammed all on one side. Not to fret though! The first week has gone by swimmingly, and we all can’t wait to see the new and improved office.

In other news, yesterday was the Albert Pujols Celebrity Golf Tournament with Capriotti’s Sandwich Shop! It was for a great cause, and everyone who came out was so friendly and supportive! Alber Pujols signed angels hats for his fans (including us), and everyone had a great time! Check out this article for even more details on the turn out of the event! Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Groupon Addiction?

by

Hi Everyone —

If you are like me, than you like deals. About three months ago I was introduced to Groupon by my cousin and I fell magically in love with the discounts. At that time I was fresh out of college which meant I was broke and definitely on a budget. Now that I am working for this fabulous Los Angeles PR Agency, I am still on a budget, because that is the wise thing to do. So I figured, if I must splurge it better be on a deal — and that is what Groupon is, a pretty darn good deal! I have purchased almost everything on Groupon:

  • Hotel stays in Vegas
  • Paddle-surfing in Malibu
  • Paint-balling Excursions (which was my father’s day gift for my papa in which he absolutely loved it!)
  • Fitness classes
  • Massages

and my shopping list can go on forever! Then today, while I was waiting at the train station in the cold at 6 AM in the morning, I jumped onto Groupon to see what I can find and BOOM! I saw one of Konnect-PR’s great clients SKY ZONE is being offered for nearly 50% off!!!!

So since the weekend is near, if you are interested in jumping around and getting your work out on — you have a THREE days to go snag this deal and visit one of the most active play areas in SoCal.

And just in case you miss this deal, visit the Sky Zone website http://www.skyzone.com and find you another deal.

Until next time.

These boots are made for walking!

by

Working in a PR Firm it is common to find all of us lovely ladies moving around constantly in our sky high heels. I mean what goes better what that cute dress or blazer you just brought for Mondays meeting?!

I on the other hand, find it way too hard and honestly way too painful to wear heels regularly as I move around WAY too much. Running errands to and fro’ from Figueroa St. to Wilshire Blvd. doesn’t take too kindly to my feet.

Today as I rested and clipped away my co worker walked in with these bad boys!

Now these so stylish DAWGS boots wouldn’t so much match my everyday work attire, but oh they would be heaven on my feet!!

 

Especially with those American flag Snappy Socks! Hello USA pride!

Bean & Body Coffee Meets Konnect Public Relations!

by

Not only is it Friday, it is a day this public relations agency has been anticipating for weeks! Our shipment of Bean & Body Coffee has arrived! They are our new client, and we are THRILLED to get the ball rolling and start spreading the word on this delish and nutritious product. Like most Publicists in Los Angeles, coffee is a staple of our morning routine. We were elated when we found out everything this drink has to offer! Bean & Body Coffee is a cold coffee beverage that promotes the wellness not only for people but for the environment as well. The drinks are packed with powerful antioxidants, formulated with healthy and natural energy-boosting whole-leaf tea, herbs and super-fruit flavors, not to mention it’s all natural, gluten-free and kosher certified! Need we say more? Oh yes! There are 7 fun flavors (the newest ones being coconut, hotchata, and vegan), and we’re eager to try them all! This client is a Los Angeles public relations firm’s dream come true!
