Marketplace Events has partnered with kin since 2012 and is the agency of record for the  Vancouver Fall Home Show, BC Home + Garden Show, Winnipeg Renovation Show, and Winnipeg Home + Garden Show, contracting kin annually to support Public Relations efforts for the Canadian Home Shows. Kin previously supported the Calgary Fall Home Show, Calgary Renovation Show, and Calgary Home + Garden Show.

With several new show managers taking over the role of spokesperson for their respective shows in the 2022 / 2023 Home Show season, Marketplace Events engaged kin to run a half-day media training. The purpose was to educate the new show managers about the media, and types of interviews they might face and help them gain confidence, insight, and understanding about the importance of media relations and their role. This was done through education and hands-on exercises allowing all show managers to try their hand at interviews and receive formal coaching from media relations experts.

The result – all show managers were prepared for future interviews and were armed with knowledge and confidence to help promote their shows when called upon!
