PR firm lends support to Wall Street protesters
Workhouse Publicity sent an email blast last week with information about the Occupy Wall Street protests. The effort was reportedly pro bono and unsolicited.
The Gatecrasher column in the New York Daily News reports that Workhouse Publicity “sent out the message, titled ‘Occupy Wall Street: News from the Front,’ to a number of media outlets, socialites and celebrities on Wednesday.”
The email, which include the tagline, “The revolution will not be editorialized,” a reference to what some see as a lack of coverage about the protests, included a link to a Facebook gallery of photos of demonstrators, reports the Daily News.
Workhouse CEO Adam Nelson stressed that the effort was unsolicited and pro bono.
The firm released a statement about the email blast, in which it said: “We have no agenda and our service in this regard is simple: Publicize the message as the march continues.”
Workhouse’s clientele includes Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, Interview magazine, filmmaker Tim Burton, Bergdorf Goodman, and Saks Fifth Avenue, according to its website.
