WestEdge Design Fair, the West Coast’s premier contemporary design event, returned to Santa Monica’s Barker Hanger in fall 2023 for the first time since 2019, drawing thousands of design professionals and enthusiasts. To generate buzz and drive attendance, the fair’s team partnered with Mekky Media, which launched a public relations campaign securing pre- and post-event coverage in a variety of outlets ranging from regional news to home and design trades. Mekky Media also coordinated press materials, worked with nearly 100 vendors for the press kit, and invited media to the kickoff party. During the fair, Mekky Media managed on-site RSVPs and hosted 93 media members, including representatives from The Hollywood Reporter and LUXE Interior + Design.
