Las Vegas Market has announced a deal with James Swan, the host of the Million Dollar Decorating podcast, to produce Market Buzz, a daily broadcast providing entertaining and informational coverage of the Summer Market, July 30-Aug. 3.
“The Market Buzz podcasts will provide a ‘real-time voice’ to deliver the latest and greatest daily market news directly to an engaged, media-hungry audience,” said Karen Olson, senior vice president of marketing for International Market Centers.
“The Million Dollar Decorating Market Buzz podcasts will give attendees the latest information about what to see and where to be during Summer Market, presenting news about the nation’s leading furniture, home decor and gift destination in the western United States as it’s happening.”
Swan will produce Market Buzz podcasts throughout Las Vegas Market, offering a mix of event coverage, Market experiences and reports about key activities and trends at the Market. In addition, Swan will interview top-name industry talent attending Market and headlining events to get the word out about upcoming launch parties, presentations, discussions and panels.
Market Buzz podcasts each will be 15 to 20 minutes long, incorporating a mix of video and audio content. They will be live-streamed and posted to www.MillionDollarDecorating.com, ITunes, SoundCloud, Stitcher, You Tube Live, Google Hangout and Facebook Live.
The podcasts will also be promoted on Million Dollar Decorating’s hugely-followed Twitter, Facebook and Instagram platforms.
Market Buzz podcasts will occur in the morning and mid-day, along with extensive daily recap in the evening. Specific podcast times will be announced prior to Summer Market.
Since its inception, Million Dollar Decorating podcasts have been downloaded more than 550,000 times, and the audience continues to grow weekly, as members of the interior design community and enthusiastic homeowners respond to Swan’s mix of entertainment and information about the worlds of design, decorating and beautiful living.
