Festivals & Events

We’re excited to support this first-ever ride across a wide swath of South Carolina, an event that promotes wellness, community, fresh air and wholesome fun. Hit the trails in September, 2019.

Charleston Fashion Week struts into downtown Charleston March 13-17, 2018. For the third year, Touchpoint will provide local, regional and national PR support by rustling up some serious fashion press for the week of shows under the tents in Marion Square. We work directly with emerging designers, featured designers and model talent to foster stories worthy of press.

We’ll be saying “I do” with Charleston Wedding Week for the second year, January 24-27, 2018. Our PR efforts will attract future brides, wedding planners, florists and photographers for a week full of workshops, fashion events, venue tours, trunk shows and more!

Provide Media Planning & Sponsorship Support for Charleston Wine + Food, which celebrates the best that the city of Charleston, SC has to offer: a local food culture rich in tradition with James Beard Award-winning chefs.

We channeled our “inner lounge” to create a VIP experience for the airport, as it affiliated its FlyWithEase brand with the Columbia Wine & Food Festival.

One-Eighty Place undertook an $8 million, two-year construction project, to bring enhanced services to the area’s homeless population. The new 30,000-square foot center opened its doors at 35 Walnut Street on November 7, 2014. We love assisting with media relations for such a deserving cause.

Touchpoint was tasked with publicizing and infusing more fun into One80 Place's annual Turkey and a $20 donation drive. We conceptualized and executed a fun, festive experience for donors, accounting for the fact that most people only had time to “drive through and drop off.”

Local celebrities -- sports team mascots, television/radio personalities and charitable groups -- were invited to greet donors and collect donations. We secured print, online and video media coverage pre-and post-event, and provided social media strategy/execution to support our publicity efforts, and connect with the community.

It feels good to do good work, but even better when that work helps raise tens of thousands of dollars and leads to the collection of hundreds of turkeys. This drive enabled One80 Place to prepare and serve 200,000 meals throughout the year.

Steeplechase has a deep tradition in Charleston, and we’re excited to work with a team of folks focused on bridging its past to its exciting future. Mark your calendar for November 17, 2019.

Touchpoint promoted the Town of Summerville #SweetLife with a mix of earned, paid and social media endeavors that led to national media coverage. Paid media showcased the "local heroes" who help grow Summerville's farms, gardens and athletic events; a bus wrap ad promoting Summerville lured tourists to the "Flowertown in the Pines" from far and wide.

On social media, prospective tourists were attracted to our depiction of the town through video interviews with business owners, photos of the town's lush floral landscapes and scenes of its extensive array of historic homes -- all of which combine to make Summerville so sweet. Media coverage of the 2016 Record Smashing Tea Party reached more than 30 million people, and upwards of 5,000 people traveled from all over to get a taste of the 2,400 gallons of locally sourced and sweetened sweet tea the town brewed for the event. In the end, Summerville again claimed the Guinness World Record for World's Largest Iced Tea.

We think our work with the town proves that this isn't just work to us, we're hooked on the Sweet Life!

Kiawah Island Motoring Retreat is poised to become one of the Southeast’s most popular Concours events. On April 15-17, 2016, this event featured world-class cars, judges and events designed to thrill car enthusiasts. We went full throttle and created all sponsorship materials. Former Client

Touchpoint has been invited back for a third year to help organize and promote the Nexton Cocoa Cup 5K. Known now as the “hoodie run” thanks to the iconic race sweatshirt, the Cocoa Cup attracts thousands of runners and walkers to the "5K course in greater Charleston" through Summerville’s Nexton community. Post and Courier's Charleston Scene was there to capture every moment along the way.
