Last week, one of our custom kitchens was in the running to be selected for an HGTV promo. Susan Serra, The Kitchen Designer, announced on her blog that the Home and Garden TV network was in search of a suburban kitchen in the NYC area. We’re located in the NYC area and we’ve designed several suburban kitchens, so I pursued the lead. After some back and forth with the spot’s producer, HGTV and the promo’s sponsor selected another kitchen. Oh well… I think I would rather hold out for a feature anyway!
I just wish they had the opportunity to meet our client. Marissa Hardie is the chef for whom we designed the kitchen. She is a great person, a talented chef and has a perfect personality for TV. I have no doubt that Food Network will be knocking on her door someday.
Coming down from such a close call with our 15 minutes (or 60 seconds) of fame, today I had the great opportunity to be interviewed by Howard Greenstein. He is is a Social Media Strategist and Evangelist, and President of the Harbrooke Group, which specializes in helping companies communicate with their customers using the latest Web technologies. We discussed how blogging and the Internet has helped in the success of Fivecat Studio. He used our conversation as the basis of the first post at his new blog for Inc.com, the official website of Inc. magazine.
We have a full roster of great projects, a talented team of happy architects (we had performance reviews this week) and the best clients in Westchester. Now it’s time to let the rest of the world know what we do and how we do it. Exposure like this will certainly help with that goal.
A sincere “Thank You” to Susan for the lead and to Howard for the opportunity.
It was a good week.
