Articulon Named Agency of Record for Holiday Express

Articulon (www.articulon.com), a Raleigh-based branding and public relations firm, has been named official PR and marketing firm for the third annual Holiday Express (www.raleighholidayexpress.com). Articulon is handling public relations efforts, including coordination of a kick-off media event to open the festivities.

“We are thankful for Articulon’s efforts to help raise awareness of the Holiday Express,” says Jeffrey Hobart, committee chair. “Their support will play an integral role in sustaining success in our third year.”

Presented by the Rotary Club of Crabtree and Raleigh Parks and Recreation Department, the Holiday Express will be held December 10-13, 2009 at Pullen Park in Raleigh. The park will be decorated with thousands of lights, and guests will experience the Santa Express train ride, carousel rides, holiday entertainment, concessions and more. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Clarence E. Lightner Leadership Endowment Fund.

“This is a great event for the whole family and a great way to start off the holiday season,” says Cindy Stranad, Articulon principal. “We’re proud to lend our support to help make the Holiday Express a success.”

Articulon remains committed to supporting Triangle-based nonprofits in advancing their causes. In addition to efforts with Holiday Express, the firm has supported the Tammy Lynn Center for Developmental Disabilities, the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Eastern North Carolina, The Spastic Paraplegia Foundation, The National Kidney Foundation of North Carolina and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Carolinas Chapter.
