Membership is Rewarding at BCAA

Part of the excitement of working in PR is all the different types of events we plan. For example, last Thursday we helped BCAA show their valued Members how rewarding membership can be – by giving away free ice cream! We set up a team at the Marble Slab in Langley to surprise and delight BCAA Members with fresh, made-in-house ice cream. All members had to do was show their BCAA card and enjoy. Customers also had the opportunity to take photos with props at our photo wall and listen to QMFM live on location.

If you are a BCAA Member, check out where you can save at over 100,000 partner locations worldwide including hotels, shoes, travel insurance, and more. See at bcaa.com/savings for more details.

Pacific Centre fashion show event

Earlier this week, Pacific Centre officially open its new retail expansion. New shops include Ted Baker, Kate Spade, TUMI, Weekend MaxMara, Hugo BOSS, and Vancouver's first AllSaints. More retailers will be opening later this summer and into the fall.

To celebrate the opening, Pacific Centre charged Elettra Communications with planning and executing an outdoor fashion event on Granville Street. Thirty stunning models walked our open-air catwalk and 300 ft red carpet, showing gorgeous looks from Pacific Centre's newest shops.

Here are some pics of Elettra's event set up and the fashion show. Enjoy!
