Show Management COO and Senior VP Dane Graziano announced the appointment of Kenton Smith Marketing to handle public relations for the St. Petersburg Power & Sailboat Show to be held December 3-6, 2009.
“This is our second year working with Kenton Smith and we’re gearing up for another solid event,” said Graziano. “The publicity generated for our show and exhibitors last year was outstanding and the best we’ve generated for this particular event. Our attendance last year was up 35 percent, thanks in part to strong marketing and publicity efforts. Kenton Smith’s experience in both power and sail, coupled with years of boat show marketing, will be put to our exhibitors’ advantage once again.”
According to Graziano, Kenton Smith will manage PR efforts targeted toward the marine trade, national marine consumer in sail and power, plus the regional St. Pete and Tampa Bay metro market.
“We’re extremely pleased to return again and have the opportunity to work with a powerhouse show producer like Show Management,” said Wanda Kenton Smith, president. “Last year’s newly combined power and sail show was highly successful and we’re putting forth 100 percent PR horsepower to help bring even more awareness to the show to help promote and drive attendance.”By: Wanda Kenton Smith
