Idea/Objective/Challenge

The new edifice of the Mieczysław Karłowicz Philharmonic Orchestra is an extraordinary futuristic building. It was designed by a Barcelona-based architectural office of Estudio Barozzi Veiga. The bold architectural form of this structure emphasises the exceptional atmosphere and artistry of the building. The Philharmonic edifice became a new icon of Szczecin, an ecological metropolis that offers living and business space.

The aim of the venture was to promote a new seat of Szczecin Philharmonic as a venue that will play a major role on the cultural map of Poland and show the cultural face of the dynamically developing city of Szczecin.

  • Drawing up a list of potential journalists from key national media and opinion leaders in the Internet
  • Contacts with journalists and opinion leaders in the Internet, coordination of the entire event as well as coordination of the publication of high-quality press materials

Information about the Philharmonic, the cultural vision of the city and the uniqueness of the undertaking appeared in the greatest life-style, opinion-forming and professional publications (nearly 150 publications).
