Description
A representative from entertainment branding company Omelet LA contacted our Chapter to help promote A&E’s new show Paranormal State on our campus. The exhibit was part of their Paranormal State Tour, which stopped in 10 cities across the country. PRSSA was responsible for reserving a spot for the production company so they could park a 50 ft RV and build a 10x10 ft tent on campus. The Paranormal State Tour opened the door for PRSSA to potentially have many more fundraising opportunities with the company Omelet LA.

Promotion
PRSSA helped to promote this event through the Cal State Fullerton Web site, email blasts to students and faculty, Facebook, Twitter and had five student-ambassador volunteers pass out flyers and free Paranormal State ringtone cards around campus. In just one month of preparing and promoting the event, a great deal of campus attention from students and faculty members came by the tour to meet the host of the show, get an autograph, share their paranormal experiences and have a fun picture taken. The event also attracted coverage from our school’s student newspaper, The Daily Titan.
