Project details

What we need
  • 1-2 page press release that can be distributed to news outlets
Additional details

We have a new podcast series and several new youtube videos that we would like to promote to different media outlets. We are looking for a press release about the content to distribute to our media contacts.

What we have in place
  • We currently have short descriptions of the podcast episodes, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have uploaded the virtual content to youtube & our website, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $844 , allowing us to install more floating gardens filled with native plants in the Chicago River.

This project will help us expand and engage our network by providing access and awareness about our new digital content.

I loved working with Alexandra! She was incredibly responsive and provided everything I needed to get the job done quickly. Urban Rivers is doing some incredible work along the Chicago River, and I can't wait to go to the Wild Mile next time I visit. I highly recommend working with this group.
