Project Description
Kim approached A.wordsmith for support publicizing Ewethful Fiber Farm & Mill’s grand opening. Kim and Ewethful Fiber Farm & Mil faced a challenge in their location. Though only a short drive off I-5, Halsey was not a natural destination or rest stop. Kim wanted Ewethful Fiber Farm & Mill, and the retail shop specifically, to be on the map for I-5 travelers and yarn and fiber enthusiasts.
Key Results
A.wordsmith elevated knowledge of Ewethful Fiber Farm & Mill to the communities surrounding Halsey with placements in local newspapers prior to the opening, resulting in strong attendance. Additionally, A.wordsmith secured placements in fiber publications, travel publications and local broadcast stations in order to demonstrate Kim’s fiber knowledge and establish Ewethful Fiber Farm & Mill as a destination.
