It appears as if we pulled off a successful campaign! All of our hard work we put in this semester payed off this past Wednesday at The Digital Bridges Open House. Everything ran very smoothly and we had a great time as well.
For starters, we advertised the event with flyers, posters around campus and local businesses downtown, press releases in newspapers, and radio advertisements. Each person in my group did a fantastic job of getting the word out to friends and peers at the college about the event. The Open House was supposed to begin at 1 p.m., but people were piling through the doors by 12:45! In total, we had around 300 people attend this event. We were able to show them around the center and explain to them what Digital Bridges is all about.
Just to prove how many people came through the doors, we ordered 20 large pizzas from Dominoes, but had to order 12 more by 1:45! 13 WMAZ even came out and interviewed people about the center. Click here to see the video.
I am very proud of our group and how the event turned out! Even with all the hardship we had to endure at the beginning of the semester, I believe it was well worth it in the end. I look forward to planning similar events in the future!
