We came. We saw. We caused media coverage pandamonium.
Atlanta’s debut Panda Fest made its delicious mark in April, drawing thousands of foodies, families, and culture lovers to Atlantic Station for a one-of-a-kind celebration of Asian cuisine and heritage. But it wasn’t just the 50,000-person waitlist (yes, really!) that had the city buzzing — it was the incredible wave of local media coverage that helped fuel the frenzy.
Thanks to the strategic efforts of our 360 Media team, Panda Fest became the talk of the town across nearly every major Atlanta media outlet. We’re proud to have helped make sure this event didn’t just make a splash — it made headlines.
