Luhrs & Associates worked extensively with BALAM Dance Theatre to create and implement this new publication that received rave reviews.
This is a rave review from a publicist serving other art and theatre companies in the New York City metropolitan area:
Congratulations on your newsletter! It is certainly the best company newsletter I have ever seen. It combines articles that are actually informative and of general interest with pertinent news of the company.
Its objectivity and tone make it quite readable. As a (skeptical) reader, I find myself accepting it as a source of good information even as I accept it as promotional for the company. Nobody else, that I have seen, is able to achieve that balance. |
