Each year, we have clients who exhibit their new varieties, collections or other products at the Short Course, such as the case with the well-respected team from Terra Nova Nurseries. Our staff has the pleasure of managing media relations annually for Terra Nova prior to, during, and after the event.
For the recent OFA show, July 13-16, we created a press campaign on the company’s behalf. This involved presenting and publicizing Terra Nova’s cutting-edge breeding techniques and new 2013 “Sneak Peek” varieties to the show’s attending media members. In addition to crafting a press kit for Terra Nova, our efforts also included pre-scheduling VIP media tours of the company’s exhibit space and coordinating interviews between company leaders and industry trade media representatives.

| During one of the media interviews we lined up for our client, Dave Doolittle, Terra Nova Nurseries’ director of marketing, described the company’s 2013 varieties to Green Profit magazine’s managing (and very talented) editor Jen Polanz. |
Following OFA Short Course 2013, GIE Media continued to post and share the video with readers and followers as a means of communicating all the “need-to-know” information about the Heucherella Falls™ series and Heucherella Cascade™ Series.
