South Coast Plaza public relations efforts generate excitement and awareness for holiday events and promotions at our 250 retailers and restaurants. Comprehensive press outreach during the holiday season reaches more than 200 print, broadcast and digital media outlets.
For our efforts to be most effective, our public relations team requests content from our boutiques so we can share newsworthy stories with our media contacts. Kindly provide us content regarding new merchandise collections, promotions and events in your boutique during the fourth quarter and we will include the information in our press outreach. Please email text and images to South Coast Plaza’s public relations director, Lisa Liddane, at liddanel@southcoastplaza.com. If necessary, please connect us to your corporate offices to secure the content.
Prior to the start of the holiday season, retail reporters across the nation reach out to our public relations team in search of extraordinary gifts available from our retailers to feature in their gift guides. If your boutique has any limited-edition, rare,one-of-a-kind and buzz-worthy items this holiday season, please include and send information and images to Lisa Liddane at liddanel@southcoastplaza.com and scpmarketing@southcoastplaza.com and we will happily include them in our extraordinary gift pitches to media.
