Last night was the 4th Digital DUMBO Drinks hosted by our good friends at HUGE. An extremely successful and SOLD OUT event at the DUMBO Arts Center, we’re already excited for the next one. The lofty space hosted over 150 of the DUMBO digital elite gathering around the keg filled with the finest beer around-Brooklyn “We Go Hard” Lager  or filling up a glass with the delicious punch. Kegs and punch? Now THAT is how you throw a party.

PR and social media is a strong interest for Carrot Creative. We work with PR agencies all the time discussing social media strategy for some amazing clients. We realize that PR has completely shifted with social media.. Campaigns now include Facebook, YouTube & Flickr as line items. Pitching reporters on Twitter is not uncommon and blogging has become a necessity rather than an added item. Social Media Is the Responsibility of Public Relations.

Besides working our butts off creating campaigns that are going to shake up the current world of media, the team does support local causes and gets involved with some pretty cool stuff.

We are always looking to meet with people interested in what we do and talk about the changing world of social media, what they’re seeing and just have a kick ass conversation.

So, what’s easier than telling you all where WE are going to be! See the run down below and hope to see you all soon!

Last night Carrot Creative co-hosted the second drinks gathering for Digital DUMBO. This was another hugely successful event with not only local DUMBO companies represented by HUGE, The Jar Group and Free Association but our friends from across the bridge. Tim Nolan, an extremely talented flash artist displayed his work on the flat screens kicking off a new trend of featuring an artist or display from the DUMBO scene.
