“Hosting the first-ever interview ‘Clubhouse’ as part of Charleston Fashion Weeks’ 10th anniversary is so exciting for us brothers. We have watched this fashion week over the years from representing all the best of Southern style to ascending to the national stage. This ties in so naturally with our aesthetic and audience, and we’re thrilled to be a part,” says Matthew Chambers of Brothers & Craft.
“We’re excited to partner with Charleston Fashion Week and support the Bloggers’ Clubhouse. CrowdReach will allow influential bloggers to send one message to their followers via social, text and e-mail—all from their mobile device,” said Trey Rust, CEO of CrowdReach. “In a fast-paced environment like Fashion Week, CrowdReach is a great resource for busy influencers to communicate on the fly.”
