Pizza Palooza’s buzz was built through a multi media blitz, through other outlets besides the Chamber. News outlets like WTOL and 13 ABC ran features highlighting the event. Local radio spots and news releases emphasized voting for the People’s Choice Award, further driving traffic. Influencers, such as Guy in the 419, amplified the hype by sharing behind‑the‑scenes glimpses, while traditional media— newspapers and online event listings—provided essential details and community endorsements. Vendors also shared details and encouraged their followers to vote for them on social media. This seamless blend of social chatter, influencer flair, radio call‑outs, and press coverage ensured Pizza Palooza stayed top‐of‐mind for families and pizza fans alike.
