“We had an up and down weekend! Saturday was a bummer but Sunday’s race was just awesome! I went out with a win or crash attitude and came from the back to one spot off the podium! I was very happy with Sunday’s performance!” said McGrath.

Red Hot Week of Events

Good Afternoon!
The Lynch Archer PR team has had another busy week. The team in New York was thrilled to see J.Lo give  a speech during the NuvoTV network TV upfront. You can watch a part of that here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wNwes2bqwE

Client Bikini Brigade LA has been keeping busy, recently sending a few models to the select Maxim Hot 100 Party in Hollywood.

Friend to the Bikini Brigade, Las Vegas VIP host Chris Merritt was in town this week. A high-fashion model in the making…? Chris walked a few red carpets with Lynch Archer PR and was photographed for multiple media outlets.

The Hangover Part III premiered in Westwood, CA this week, and LAPR was there with client Matt Barnes to manage the red carpet press. Chris Merrit, Gloria Govan, and Deandre Jordan were also there to get a few photos and watch the new comedy starring Zach Galifianakis, Bradley Cooper, Justin Bartha, and Ed Helms.

Happy Memorial Day from Lynch Archer PR!

Spring Activities: Giving Back

Hi Everyone!

The weather here in LA has been great, and this week we even got a little sunburn!

Last weekend, Lynch Archer was honored to participate in 2 great charitable events. The first was Walk to Africa.

There was a great turnout of participants of all ages and races at the walk which started at a park in Santa Monica.

There were fun games for the kids and many sponsors donated great products for the participants. The Walk to Africa raises awareness of the need for medical missions to Africa and provides funds for Lighthouse Medical Missions. You can learn more about them here: http://walktoafrica.dojiggy.com/ng/index.cfm/a6326d/regPages/pages/?p=101296

The second event for LAPR was the WME Tennis Tournament.

The annual event raises funds for the Bogart Pediatric Cancer Research Center. You can learn more about the foundation, which helps children with cancer, here: http://bogartfoundation.org/

LAPR was happy to ensure both healthy events were provided with RedBull energy drinks and Quest Nutrition protein bars. Thanks, RedBull and Quest!

Than you to Asics, Riviera Country Club, and Coco Libre as well!

Both events were a joy to be a part of.

If you would like to be a part of the Walk to Africa or WME Tennis Tournament next year, please let us know! They support great causes.

Thrilling week for LAPR- Interviews and Upfronts

The Lynch Archer PR offices have seen non-stop action since the last blog post.

After the great Mayweather fight in Las Vegas, client Bikini Brigade LA headed back home. The ladies worked the fight as ring girls, modeled and promoted products at the Supercross finals, and got to attend hot new club Hakkasan where Calvin Harris and Tiesto performed. They even ran in to Neil Patrick Harris!

At the supercross finals, client Jeremy McGrath was able to reveal the winner of his $20,000 scholarship. It was Alex Northcutt, who will use the money to further his education and pursue his dreams of working within the motorcycle/ motocross industry. Congrats, Alex!

 

The LAPR social media and events team treated themselves to a night out to celebrate the anniversary of the London Hotel in WeHo. It was a great event with some old friends and some new opportunities.

Lynch Archer then celebrated Mother’s Day! A great reminder to thank all our clients, clients’ wives, and our own moms for always being there for support.

LAPR was delighted to be invited back to ESPN’s Sports Nation with client Matt Barnes. He was even in-studio for their surprise Taco Tuesday skit, where Matt got to chow down on a taco during the commercial break.

Though Matt suffered a great loss already in this playoff season, he was able to make an impressive 30 points in his last game. He has spent the last few weeks opening up to the media about his future as an NBA player and the future of the LA Clippers team. He will be a free agent this summer, but has made it known that he and his family love LA. Being a UCLA grad, Barnes has strong roots in the area. For a taste of his media talks, check out one interview with ESPN here: http://espn.go.com/espnradio/play?id=9275303

 

CEO Cheryl was in NYC for the TV upfronts. She and the LAPR team will attend several meetings with potential clients along with helming some network duties.

The WME Tennis Classic is finally just around the corner! The annual event lets us catch up with old friends from the Bogart Pediatric Cancer Research Center. LAPR loves to do charitable events with them, as theirs is a great cause that helps children with cancer. The tennis classic will feature many celebrities who will come out for a day of doubles tennis in the sun.

Other than TV pitching in NYC and Hollywood events in LA, the team has their sights set on plenty more to keep them busy in the next few weeks including Cannes Film Festival, Billboard Music Awards, ESPYs, the Fast and the Furious premiere, The Hangover premiere, and much more!

Please come back soon for more updates!
