Vagus was hired to build awareness and introduce and re-introduce The T-Shirt Deli locations to the Chicagoland community. Vagus also developed and executed media friendly events to further create a buzz about this one-of-a-kind business.

Results:

  • Media friendly event was attended by Rudy Segovia, MJ Tam, Helen Berkun, Momma Cuisine, Cheryl Leahy and her puppy Ginger, and more
  • Media placements include:
