Kendra Scott Grand Opening VIP Party-Local Media

Pickie Pie was tapped by Austin Jewelry Designer and Businesswoman Kendra Scott to garner local media attention for the Grand Opening VIP Party celebrating the opening of her first retail boutique on February 10, 2011. The store, located in the heart of South Congress, featured the candy-themed designs of Camille Styles for the night and an A-list crowd including actor Luke Wilson.

White Hot Spring Time

The White Party is the biggest see-and-be-scene affair of Austin springtime. The party, which benefits Lifeworks, is scheduled for May 27th on the lawn at the Long Center. Often held at Green Pastures and in July, organizers moved it to May and the Long Center lawn last year to take advantage of cooler temps and a larger space beneath the Austin skyline. The party has sold out the last three years to a crowd of 700 plus of Austin's movers and shakers.

Pickie Pie has done pro-bono public relations work for this event now for a third year. This week, we facilitated a segment with YNN's, Austin's local 24-hour cable news channel, Fashionably Yours segment with Erin Driscoll. Connie Bakonyi, Executive Director of the Austin Fashion Association, styled the shoot, gathered the looks and the models and arranged for all the hair and makeup. Connie is a rock star and a detailed perfectionist.

Our Philosophy

"Life isn't about finding yourself. It's about creating yourself."

That's something we truly believe at Pickie Pie Productions.

It's an approach we take personally and professionally. It's also always on our mind as we help clients take their business to the next level. We know entrepreneurs start with a dream to do something beyond the average and to control their own destiny. Entrepreneurs are inherently people who are not content with just clocking in at a job everyday. They both live and love what they do. At Pickie Pie, we take the passion our clients have for their businesses, help them craft their message and spread the word about it as great people, products and services shouldn't be kept a secret. They should be shouted out and shared with everyone.
