issue.08: spring has sprung

Spring is the time of year when things grow, flourish and change.  We are proud to share some exciting events and new additions to our family!  Read on to share in the excitement!

Vincent Partners is a full service marketing communications company with a specialty in non-traditional experiential marketing, strategic public relations, celebrity endorsements, brand extensions/licensing and marketing technology solutions.

 

Get out those running shoes and join us! 

Looking for a good way to kick off the summer? Then be sure to join us on Saturday, May 19th, 2007 for the fourth annual 5K run in Bay Head, NJ.  This run is in support of the Kate Shea Foundation; an organization started four years ago by VP’s founder, Edward Vincent in memory of longtime friend, Kate Shea who lost her battle with Leukemia at the young age of 25.  This event is the core fundraising vehicle for the foundation and each year we continue to grow.

The 5K run is followed by the infamous beach party at Martell’s Tiki Bar in Point Pleasant, NJ.

Please join us this year as a runner and help raise awareness to advance the fight against Leukemia.  With your help, we will be able to meet our goal of 1,000 runners.  For those of you who are unable to run, you can still donate by going to www.bayhead5K.com.

So what are you waiting for?!?!  Get your friends together and sign up today to support an amazing cause and join in the fun! Simply go to www.katesheafoundation.org or www.bayhead5K.com

We thank you in advance for your support!

 

Vincent Partners Takes On Wine Country  

This month, Vincent Partners hit California Wine Country for the ultimate week of food, wine, and film at the 2007 Sonoma Valley Film Festival.  This year’s special 10th anniversary festival, which took place from April 11th through 15th, featured more than 100 of the year’s finest and most critically-acclaimed feature films, documentaries, shorts, epicurean-themed films and student films.
 
The festival honored John Lasseter, Chief Creative Officer, Disney and Pixar Animation Studios and Principal Creative Advisor, Walt Disney Imagineering, on Saturday evening for his legendary career at a special tribute event. Hosted by John Ratzenberger, the tribute also featured stories and guest appearances from Bonnie Hunt, legendary animator Glen Kean, Cheech Marin, Tony Shalhoub, director Andrew Stanton and none other than the delightfully humorous Robin Williams.
 
Vincent Partners rolled out the red carpet this year, bringing in sponsors Food & Wine Magazine and Entertainment Weekly, creating all branding for the special anniversary film festival and garnering targeted press coverage (Check out the October 2006 issue of Esquire for the one and only SVFF sommelier’s movie and wine pairing picks!).
 
It’s only been a few weeks since we returned to New York, but we’re already waxing nostalgic! Hope to see you there next year!
