2013 Blogtour London Is Here!!!



Modenus's sponsored  BlogTour London officially begins today!!  Blogtour was designed to create a dialogue within the international design and cultural communities in the US and the UK.   Our visit to London will hopefully highlight the importance and influence of London as a major design hub.   There is so much to see and do!  We will be taking in all London Design Week has to offer.  So far, I have only met part of the our group, as we have trickled in at various times.  Our first official meeting is today at 1:00!  I can't wait to experience London Design week!  We will meet our British peers and have the opportunity to be immersed in all the design related events the week has to offer.  There will be opportunities to interview top British Designers as well as visit major exhibits.  Today our tour begins with a visit to design junction and a private media tour by Deborah Spencer, visit to Laufen, then drinks with Barbara Chandler at Joy of Design.  We will be reporting  back our findings, watch for them on all our social media channels!

Press Release for BlogtourLDN:

(Orlando, Florida) BlogTour, presented by Modenus.com, travels back to the London Design Festival for a third time this September. Twelve top interior design bloggers from across the United States, Canada and Dubai will be visiting the London Design Festival with stops at 100% Design, Design Junction, Tent London and Decorex as well as a number of smaller events and showrooms.

The writers will spot the latest trends, see the newest products, network with industry peers and report back to their blog and social media audiences in the weeks before and after BlogTour London and live from the shows.

Veronika Miller, CEO of Modenus.com says:  “We first launched BlogTour during London Design Festival in 2011 and are thrilled to be welcomed back by our many trade show and agency partners for a third time. Our tours have grown leaps and bounds since then, and so has the impact on the interior design and lifestyle community.”

Since its inception, BlogTour has grown to be globally visible and an event in its own right. It prides itself in being as much a wonderful design and travel experience as it is an initiative that empowers talented design bloggers. “BlogTour is all about leveraging social media reach and turning that reach into valuable, real life relationships. We hope that this tour will once again allow our team of bloggers to benefit from new inspirations, cultural influences and important new business connections,” adds Miller.
 
BlogTour, with previous international tours to London and Cologne and domestically in New York and New Orleans, has quickly become a digital and social media phenomenon that reaches an audience of over one million followers and readers. Bloggers apply to be part of each new entourage and are accepted based on their solid design business and social media savvy. In addition to Modenus, BlogTour London is sponsored by Blanco, Du Verre Hardware, Lamps Plus, Gessi, Mr Steam and Poggenpohl.
