Influencer Event History

In 2013, Forest Home Media partnered with Southern Living’s PR team for a media and influencer event at the Southern Living Idea House in Nashville, built by FHM client Castle Homes. The afternoon, with rock star decorator Phoebe Howard and Southern Living favs, former editor Lindsay Bierman and Southern Living garden expert Carmen Johnston, led to establishing a powerful marketing formula for clients. Combining smart bloggers and influencers with talented media writers has proven to be very impactful for home projects throughout the Southeast.

Lindsay Bierman and the PR Team for 2013 Southern Living Idea House Project hosted a blogger, influencer and media event prior to the house opening. Pictured with Bierman are former SL PR Director Jennifer Zawandanski, Zan Martin, president of Martin & Co. representing Fontanel & Nancy McNulty, Forest Home Media, representing the builder, Castle Homes.

Forest Home Media has since helped launch or promote a ton of premier home events including the Nashville Symphony Show House and last year’s Nashville Home Show, returning again this September, as well as the HGTV Urban Oasis House 2017 with designer Brian Patrick Flynn.
