SEA AND BE SCENE... And HEARD Watch & Listen

Nova Scotia Lobster Crawl 2020

Lobster Crawl 2020 on SEA AND BE SCENE and HEARD

Broadcast Date: January 22, 2020

Now if you’re a regular listener of the show you know, I like so many folks in this part of the world, wear a whole bunch of hats. I’m really lucky though because all of my hats are happy ones.  Certainly, Sea and be Scene is a blast. I also head up the Tourism Team for the Municipality of Chester so I get to celebrate the 36 wonderful communities you’ll find there, and as a board member for the South Shore Tourism Cooperative – I get to ban together with all kinds of incredible folks from Peggy’s Cove to Barrington to make sure everyone knows everything we’ve got on the go all year round.  And I’m here to tell ya – in case you hadn’t heard – no matter what that thermometer is telling you things are really heating up here on the South Shore as we are now just days away from NOVA SCOTIA LOBSTER CRAWL 2020.

So on today’s show, we’ll do our best to sink our claws into all the amazing events set to roll from February 1st all the way to the 29th. We’ll catch up with Nova Scotia Lobster Crawl’s new festival director Menna Riley to get the scoop on the social media side and hear how you can join in the celebrations. Plus we’ll learn why this whole festival was started in the first place and hear how it’s grown by award-winning and wonderful leaps and bounds with the President of the South Shore Tourism Cooperative Donna Hatt. We’ll also squeeze in a marvellous round of ‘Lobster Movie Trivia’ when the SSTC’s Stephanie Miller Vincent pops in to compete, and we’ll share some cool concert news from one of our favourite east coast artists.  Oh yes, there’s a ton to get done so I say let’s do it… ladies and gentlemen on with show!

CHESTER RACE WEEK

Chester Race Week

“We reached out to Stephanie just a few weeks before Chester Race Week, hoping she could help us with our social media, and she jumped right in. She came up with some very creative reels and produced content that was polished, professional, and fun, elevating our online presence. She brought great energy and enthusiasm, knew exactly what we needed, and exceeded our expectations. Stephanie was a real pleasure to work with, and we’re so grateful for the excellent work she delivered for Race Week.”

Got Your Back Apparel

“Launching a brand comes with hundreds of boxes to tick, and Stephanie helped us focus on what truly mattered. She didn’t feel like a consultant — she felt like an owner, fully invested and growing the company right alongside us. From marketing and promotions to our online shop and in-person markets, she brought clarity, momentum, and confidence at every step. Her passion, attention to detail, and genuine belief in what we were building made all the difference. I highly recommend working with her!”

ROCK THE FIDDLE

Rock the Fiddle

“We were thinking about launching our inaugural festival when we realized we had no social media, or even a website. We figured we would have to delay our launch to get it sorted. We contacted Stephanie Beaumont and within 24 hours we had full social media presence, a landing page and the structure for our website, and she even created our graphic branding which will live on as our permanent festival brand. More impressive than that, within 5 days under Stephanie’s social media management, we had over 1000 followers on our event page. We contracted Stephanie to manage our social media leading up to our event and she was a rock star! We simply couldn’t have done it without her.”

South Shore Tourism Cooperative

“It was a true pleasure working with Stephanie to create visitsouthshore.ca. Stephanie’s unique ability to weave business details into stories creates a picture in the mind of the would-be travel that has them standing on Nova Scotia’s South Shore while still seated at home planning their visit.

Stephanie writes with enthusiasm and delight that can be felt in each word she puts on the page. When the task at hand is to create not only the want to travel but to ensure the destination is chosen as THE spot to travel to, Stephanie’s ability to create an emotional connection and to elicit memories was a perfect fit.

Stephanie’s level of understanding allows her to look at the site from the visitor, the organization and the businesses being represented points of view. She kept us focused on our concept while ensuring the fun flag was always waving!

Stephanie was a true joy to work with and we appreciate the continued relationship! We can’t imagine telling Nova Scotia’s South Shore story without her.”

Lunenburg Board of Trade

“Working with Stephanie on our Shop Local campaign was an absolute dream! She was full of creative ideas, professional guidance, and the work she did was always, always top-notch.

She answered every silly question I had and really took the time to explain the why’s behind everything and make sure I understood the process. We now have a fully formed marketing campaign that can be easily rolled out in future years thanks to Stephanie’s fantastic work.

In addition to the quality work she produces, she’s also got a wonderful, enthusiastic personality and is a blast to work with! – I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for help with a variety of marketing and design needs –  and I hope to be able to work with her again in the future.”

The Year Round Vegetable Gardener

“Jumping from radio and writing into TV was both fun and easy with the experienced guidance of Stephanie from Rae of Hope Productions.

She crafted a high-quality pilot that received rave reviews from gardeners across Canada and the US who tuned in to hone their gardening skills. She’s professional, creative, knowledgeable, and most of all, enthusiastic, which made me comfortable every step of the way.”

Niki Jabbour

Wharf Rat Rally Association

“Stephanie was wonderful to work with – full of exuberance, yet professional and focused. Her preparation ahead of time made filming easy and enjoyable, and the end result was loved by our whole Board of Directors.

With her guidance and expertise, the entire project ran on time, on budget, and with no stress at all.

Thank you, Stephanie!”

Tourism Chester

“Stephanie led the Tourism Chester program for us for a little over two years helping us build it from the ground up.

She was a great addition to the team, bringing an incredible amount of energy and creativity to the role and was always coming up with new and innovative ideas to expand the program.”

Erin Lowe

Economic Development Officer, Municipality of Chester

The Chester Playhouse Theatre

“What a wonderful experience I had in working with Stephanie. When The Chester Playhouse suspended programming due to the pandemic, we were faced with a dark stage – a cancelled season and no way to entertain our audience. However, like us, Stephanie knew the show must go on so she suggested we host our very own radio program and as a result, The Chester Playhouse Radio Show was created! Not only did Stephanie do the research, write, and produce the 2-hour weekly broadcast – she jumped on to co-host with me. The 9-week campaign allowed us to reach our loyal patrons, grow our audience, and thank our generous sponsors all while keeping the Chester Playhouse Theatre brand centre stage in our community. It was truly fun and oh so fortuitous!”

Digby Area Learning Association

“It was an absolute pleasure to work with Stephanie while developing a new website for our organization. Stephanie’s enthusiasm, creativity, and ability to accurately envision our needs was a huge plus.  It was apparent that customer satisfaction is a top priority for Stephanie as she worked very diligently to ensure that the final result met our expectations.

I can easily say that they not only met expectations but exceeded them. She took the extra steps to make sure we understood the concepts of marketing, branding, and communication, and I feel I learned a lot from her in a very lot from her in a short period of time.  I would certainly recommend Stephanie Beaumont and her company, Rae of Hope Productions for any of your marketing needs.”
