Pink Ponies: Check out this video!

This Youtube video was recommended to me by a student in the Special Event Management class I teach at Humber College. It is a fantastic case study about planning a young girl's birthday pary. This video demonstrates perfectly the importance of knowing your audience, using emerging social media for event marketing, and building an event that not only attracts but retains your guests. It goes to show that your event doesn't need to have a huge budget or thousands of guests to be a success. Check it out!
