Promoting Mayor Meeker’s Convention Center

Two Raleigh public relations firms have been having a ‘little tiff’ over which of them should get the most government contracts. Mayor Meeker’s Convention Center found a unique solution. It hired both.
Capstrat – the Raleigh Public Relations firm – will receive a $12,000 monthly retainer. French/West will receive $4,000 per month.
So, how about that? The Mayor’s Convention Center is still little more than a $192 million hole in the ground and he’s already got two PR firms under contract to promote it.
Whatever happened to, ‘If you build it they will come’?
