BMLPR generated ongoing media coverage surrounding the franchisees’ various community relations activations, fundraising campaigns and new menu/beverages across more than 700 locations nationwide.

Charged with keeping the brand top-of-mind with consumers and driving traffic to locations, BMLPR consistently pitched (and continues to pitch) features, food and business writers within each franchisee’s local market footprint throughout the year, garnering a steady stream of positive and impactful coverage in key news outlets. Initiatives promoted included local market fundraisers ranging from Tip-A-Cop events to Dine to Donates and Flapjack Fundraisers, as well as system-wide initiatives including the brand’s annual Alex’s Lemonade Stand fundraiser and monthly Neighborhood Drink promotions.
