Toronto Life x HELLO! Canada Hollywood North Party: Film Festival Event

Opportunity

In celebration of Toronto Life’s Hollywood North issue (which hit newsstands August 18, 2022), NKPR supported Toronto Life’s first collaborative festival event in partnership with Hello! Canada. A can’t-miss festival kickoff celebrating some of the city’s most creative and innovative industry talents, the event would host around 500 guests at the Park Hyatt in Bloor-Yorkville.

What We Did

  • Developed and managed an event invite list of 500 guests and celebrity outreach. Targets included key Canadian and international talent, influencers, notable tastemakers, media, and industry partners.  
  • RSVP management: invite outreach, follow-ups, event reminder, and post-event thank you 
  • Media outreach: press release and camera + photo calls to secure media for the red carpet

On-site management: guest check-in, media interviews, red carpet + step & repeat, photographer wrangling to ensure key moments and people on the shot list are captured.

Results

  • Secured top tier event coverage and press for the red carpet, including ET Canada, BlogTO, Canadian Press, CBC News, Narcity, Toronto Star, BizBash, and Indie88. As a result, press coverage resulted in over 5.5 million impressions. 
  • Notable attendees include Mae Martin, Nelly Furtado, K-OS, Amanda Brugel, Alex Mallari Jr., Fefe Dobson, Kardinal Offishal, Hubert Davis, Kathleen Robertson and many more.
