DRYBAR GILBERT AT SAN TAN VILLAGE

Drybar, a salon providing blowout hair services, employed Serendipit Consulting to promote the business’ newest salon, Drybar Gilbert at SanTan Village. Assisting with the production and promotion of the grand opening, Serendipit Consulting successfully planned and executed the event, securing ten local media placements over the course of one month and had more than 30 social influencers in attendance. Features of the event included the opportunity for guests to sign up for Drybar’s pre-sale membership, showcasing the new Drybar facility and encouraging customer engagement. Throughout the event timeline, Serendipit was able to secure consistent coverage for Drybar that exceeded their expectations and PR objectives.
