Thrillist Launches Hamptons Edition, Publicists Not Far Behind

PR pros looking to make a dent in Hamptons media have new outlet to pitch. Thrillist, the daily email list for dudes, launched a Hamptons edition this weekend. This PRNewser was at the launch party at the Day & Night Restaurant Beach Club in Southampton alongside other media including CNET’s Caroline McCarthy, CBS’ Hazel Sanchez, Contentinople’s Ryan Lawler, MediaPost’s Kelly Samaradak and PR pros including Time Out New York Publicity Manager Lindsay Kaplan and Simply Chic PR’s Justine McCarthy.

Thrillist Director of Communications – and quite possibly the best party host in New York – Flavie Bagnol tells PRNewser that Nick Bennett is editing the site. It will keep with Thrillist’s mission of delivering “the daily drop on the Hamptons’ newest restaurants, nightlife, entertainment, travel, style, services, gadgets, and more.” Got a good pitch?
