Here we Gogh!
Markowitz Communications were extremely fortunate to have been brought in by the team at Impact Museums to help promote Pittsburgh’s new Lighthouse Artspace and the exclusive and highly awaited debut of “The Original Immersive Van Gogh Exhibit Pittsburgh.”
The MC team (Michael Machosky, Michael Schroeder, and Bonnie Markowitz) want to thank our friends in the media for joining us ( TribLive, Post-Gazette, Pittsburgh Today Live! to name a few – even though it was very short notice) for our exclusive hard-hat tour of the raw, under-construction space at a vacant warehouse in a little-trafficked section of the North Side. It was a little difficult to imagine the transformation about to take place, but that tiny glimpse of the show was enough to know something special was afoot.
Then, on the same day they were finishing construction, we brought the media back to witness the entire immersive show! That night was the exclusive VIP party. where we invited a number of our friends (in the media and otherwise) for an unveiling of the exhibit and the first look at its mesmerizing beauty. And the rest is history!It all resulted in sold-out shows as far as the eye could see.
Up up and Away!
It was the biggest thing to hit Pittsburgh since the 40-foot Rubber Duck cruised up the Ohio River — a 90-foot floating Van Gogh head was spotted hovering above Flagstaff Hill in Oakland.
Everybody wanted a pic with the giant Van Gogh balloon (ears fully intact). It wasn’t easy to get even more attention for the Immersive Van Gogh exhibit that had already been sold out for weeks, but this did the trick — plus, the offer of free tickets for the first 100 who got up early and snapped a shot of Vincent and posted it to social media at 7 a.m.
Plus, every TV station and newspaper in town (and beyond) found room for this striking visual in their news coverage — how many giant Van Gogh heads hovering over Pittsburgh do you normally see–?
