Host Committee
Well before the coin toss to kick off Super Bowl LI in Houston, DPWPR was working behind the scenes, coordinating media relations efforts for the Houston Super Bowl Host Committee’s (HSBHC) countless programs, initiatives and events. The agency was initially engaged to raise the profile of the HSBHC’s new President and CEO, Sallie Sargent. Following the success of this initial engagement, DPWPR was retained to coordinate all HSBHC communications efforts. The agency developed a public relations blueprint spanning 24 months leading up to touchdown achieving amazing results.

Mardi Gras! Galveston
When the city of Galveston embarked on a campaign to boost mid-winter tourism thanks to DPWPR’s revival of Mardi Gras! Galveston celebration. Rekindling the forward-looking optimism that characterized Galveston during its most vital years, DPWPR conceived, designed and directed the installation of seven festive arches as a dramatic component in the revival of the celebration. Seven national and international architects were commissioned, and the arches dramatically impacted tourism for the city and showcased the message of Island preservation and the architectural renaissance of downtown Galveston. Today, the 12-day celebration attracts more than a half million people to Galveston Island each winter, filling hotels, restaurants and shops.
