| Baby Garcia Arriving Soon! |
| We were so happy to celebrate Odalys Flores in late March with a virtual baby shower before her little one arrives! Members of the MMGY NJF team and LA office (as well as a few close clients!) came together to share some words of encouragement and celebrate the mom-to-be before her maternity leave begins. We can't wait to meet baby Garcia! |

| Hotel Week TikTok
|
|
Kelsey Chabot and Brandon Layland recently traveled to Rhode Island for a first-of-its-kind social content mission with the goal of capturing amateur-style TikTok content to promote the state's upcoming Hotel Week deals. Their whirlwind tour of the state included stops at multiple boutique hotels and inns, a world-renowned hot dog joint, and Mohegan Bluffs (we'll spare you the details of the traumatic bike ride to get there). Keep an eye out on TikTok for the content!
