Celebrating the Big Apple’s thriving digital media industry and community, an unprecedented coalition of business, media, entertainment, government, and arts leaders are presenting more than 50 events that will bring the Internet to life on the city’s streets this June 3 – 10.
PKPR helped kick-off the first-ever Internet Week New York with a blast of coverage this week including a full-page Daily News story on how the Internet has changed New York, New York Post, Metro, Time Out New York, Hollywood Reporter, and CNET. In all, PKPR has credentialed more than 70 media outlets and bloggers to cover the more than 80 events happening throughout the week.
Our favorite event: the official launch at Gracie Mansion where Mayor Bloomberg welcomed the City’s digital media leaders and pondered whether his buddies on Facebook were true friends. The New York Times chimes in here. And check out this great New York 1 segment, which also features PKPR client and Internet Week event partner Arts Engine.

PKPR’s strategy for launching the first-ever Internet Week New York was profiled in PR Week’s ”Launch Pad” column. In addition to securing launch-day stories in outlets such as the New York Daily News, Variety, CNET, Crain’s New York, and Mediabistro, PKPR created Internet Week New York groups on Facebook, LinkedIn, and other social networking sites to attract potential event partners for the weeklong festival celebrating New York’s Internet industry and community.
