RE: September Public Relations Report
In August, MYPR continued to host traditional media and online influencers in Vail on behalf of the VLMD.
Most of the agency’s time was dedicated to setting up the media and influencer visits, hosting writers and
making arrangements for the fall press trip in conjunction with Arrabelle at Vail Square.
