Golden-Con

After gaining national attention for their inaugural convention in spring 2022 shortly after the death of Betty White, who played Rose Nyland in famed sitcom, the organizers of Golden-Con were struggling to get similar attention and drive ticket sales for their 2023 event.

By partnering with Glendale, the organizers were able to focus on their passion for producing the event without the worry and work associated with media relations and outreach.

With a press release and pitch aimed at event-oriented and broadcast media, Golden-Con received coverage on TV, radio and online, resulting in wide news coverage in local and national media and placement in curated weekend event listings. The organizers and special guests appeared on WGN-TV and Fox Chicago’s midday shows, and event coverage was syndicated to TV stations nationwide.
