Store launch PR for luxury and lifestyle brands

A store opening is a one-night chance to set the tone for a brand in a city. We run store launch PR for boutiques, flagships and cafés across India, with particular depth in Mumbai and Delhi: pre-launch buzz, a curated opening event, paparazzi and media deployment, and coverage that continues after the doors open.
