Tuesday night, HM&P’s social media team and PR staffers attended the News and Observer’s first tweetup at Isaac Hunter’s Oak City Tavern in downtown Raleigh.
@Newsobserver (the paper’s Twitter handle) pulled together a fun event that combined Raleigh’s location-based app TriOut, a host of sweet giveaways, good beer and plenty of social media-centric conversations with N&O bloggers Eric Frederick, Mike Williams, Andrea Weigl, Sue Stock, Matthew Fortner and Brooke Cain.
Karlie Justus, Nicole Curtis, Jess Redman, Sarah Findle and Melea Mauldin pose for the tweetup's photobooth.
Check out the tweets around the event with the #nandotweetup hashtag, and follow HM&P on Twitter @hmandp.

The Raleigh City Museum’s “Art of Business” exhibit opened Friday with a reception including live music, food and drinks. The exhibit features commercial art including signage, print collateral, packaging and advertising from some historic Raleigh-based businesses.
Howard Merrell & Partner’s own Senior Art Director, John Moore, the grandson of our agency’s founder, Jack Howard, helped complete the exhibit with several original ad pieces and copy from J.T. Howard Advertising Agency (our agency’s founding name). Early clients included Pine State Creamery, the State of North Carolina and Durham Life Insurance.
Several HM&P employees attended the event and enjoyed learning about our agency’s place in Raleigh’s history.
