Building Community with the Merchants at Seasons Marketplace at Landess, Milpitas, California

“Building community” at Seasons Marketplace at Landess meant introducing the Bay Area’s Filipino community to this beautifully-designed mall. For instance, anchor tenant Seafood City provides a huge variety of ethnic ingredients that are distinctively Asian while showcasing a fresh assortment of seafood for healthy, heart-smart cuisine.

GMA Pinoy TV and GMA Life TV are media partners of NaFFAA through its media sponsorship of the E-2010: 9th NaFFAA Empowerment Conference on November 10-21, 2011. It is through this relationship that more public relations and community relations efforts are being done through social media and digital public relations (engaging GMA Pinoy TV’s public relations consultant, Lorna Dietz, a veteran online public relations practitioner since 1996) in bringing attention to this mall. Supporting Ben Menor, Seasons Marketplace at Landess’s community developer, and Gabrielle “Girly” Ramos, Seasons Marketplace at Landess’s Merchant Relations and Marketing Support started with the Community Hall at Seasons in October 2010. The public relations activities have since expanded into highlighting the Merchants at Seasons Marketplace at Landess.
