Something with “ministry” in the title is not normally something I write about around here. However my friend and yours Robyn Davis Sekula asked me to tell you about this event and I read the mission statement of the organization in question and it included this little tidbit: We believe that all people deserve life’s [...]

In the past few years I’ve seen two shows featuring Vadis Turner’s work here in town. Each time I’ve enjoyed the shows and I’ve certainly been left with a lot to think about (you just try pondering on the significance of a wedding dress made of Sweet and Low packets). I saw an announcement a [...]

I couldn’t find any information on the University of Louisville Indian Student Association’s Diwali celebration this year so instead I’ll just take the time to remind you a little bit about the holiday and wish everyone celebrating it a joyous festival of lights and a happy new year. Diwali (also spelt Divali in other countries) [...]

During IdeaFestival I was given an incredible opportunity by the Louisville Convention and Visitors Bureau to dine at the chef’s table at The Brown Hotel with some out of town new media rockstars like Baratunde Thurston and CC Chapman and local awesome people like Melissa from Loueyville. It was an incredible evening as executive chef [...]

Do I want to receive PR or Marketing pitches?
Yes.
Types of Pitches
I enjoy receiving news and tips that help make Consuming Louisville even more useful to its audience. If you or one of your clients has something cool going on in Louisville I would love to hear about it.
Consuming Louisville primarily focuses on independent Louisville businesses, artists and events. This doesn't mean that I never write about chain restaurants or corporate events but I do so very infrequently. If you or your client is a national chain and you have a Louisville specific event going on (say a special for Derby) then by all means let me know about it. But if you have an event or special that is happening in every city your chain has a location in then I probably won't post about it.
Personal Responses
I receive many press releases and email notices. I cannot possibly respond to every single one of them. So while I may not personally respond I think we can have enough faith in the email system to assume that I received your message. Sending the same message to me multiple times just increases the likelihood that I'll start ignoring all messages from you instead of paying more attention.
Editorial Choices
I do not write about every press release or event notice I receive. I'm the sole writer on Consuming Louisville (except for occasional guest posts) and if I don't find think my audience would find something interesting or relevant I will not write about it. Just because you think I should write about something doesn't mean I will. If I have chosen not to write about something it is absolutely not up for debate.
I'm a Person, You're a Person
Emails that sound like press releases, press release attachments without actual email messages and other communication that could have just as easily been sent to and from a robot do not hold my attention. Since I'm a real person and you're a real person I'd encourage you to make our interaction person-to-person conversation instead of an email blast to a marketing list. I like people, I don't like email marketing blasts.
