The Christmas Press Show
Food and drink brands have been choosing the Christmas Press Show to host their festive PR showcases for over a decade. The collaborative format puts your products directly into the hands and lips of the media, helping you build meaningful relationships and coverage opportunities that otherwise wouldn’t be possible in a single day. It is a great opportunity to sample your products to hundreds of media outlets, within your target audience, while opening doors to new publications, all within a one day press event.
Power Pitching
Power Pitching is a virtual event that provides food & drink brands with the opportunity to pitch directly to a carefully curated group of national journalists ahead of key retail moments, including Easter and Christmas. From food editors, recipe writers, regular drinks columnists, to specialist food and beverage publications, each session guarantees face-to-face time with 25 tier-one journalists. Hosted as an intimate experience, these events are perfect for showcasing NPD, targeting key media contacts, and making a lasting impression, all within just one hour.
