PB\u2019s Launchit named finalist in excellence
\nLaunchIt Public Relations, a Pacific Beach provider of public and industry relations services to transportation technology suppliers, has been named a finalist in the 2018 Public Relations and Marketing Excellence Award program by the Business Intelligence Group.
\nThe award identifies leading agencies that delivered quantifiable business results for their clients. The program, judged by business executives as opposed to their firms, uses a scoring system that measures performance across multiple business domains.
\nThe Los Angeles-based Hawthorne public relations agency was named the 2018 winner.
\nThe awards were launched in 2014 to recognize public relations agencies, departments and people whose work delivered exceptional performance and innovative approaches. In recent years, the Burlington, N. J.-based Business Intelligence Group extended this program to marketing agencies and departments.
\nSince 2000, LaunchIt has been representing technology companies as it seeks to increase visibility of their products and services in the North American trucking industry. In 2018, it joined the Stryker-Munley Group, a consortium of public relations and marketing professionals with more than 20 years\u2019 experience in their respective industries.

PB restaurant walk set for May 22
\nThere\u2019s only one thing more monotonous than a Tuesday, and that\u2019s vegetables \u2013 or so the saying goes. Discover Pacific Beach, the neighborhood\u2019s business district, has had it up to here with that kind of talk \u2013 accordingly, it will host the Coast of Pacific Beach Restaurant Walk Tuesday, May 22, from 4 to 9 p.m., featuring coastal cuisine choices from participating restaurants west of Dawes Street to the coastline.
\nThis self-guided event will be vegetarian friendly, and eateries that offer a vegetarian option will have special notice on the map.

Bikes, Boards and Brews! at Crown Point Park Remember the movie “Endless Summer,” wherein two California beach bums threw a little caution to the colossal winds, scouring the planet far and wide for the “perfect wave”? We don\u2019t either. The movie was made in 1966, when the world \u2013 and presumably the ocean \u2013 was a much different place.
\nBut nostalgia is a key component in the realization of dreams \u2013 hence the ninth annual Bikes, Boards and Brews!, set for Saturday, April 21 from 1 to 5 p.m. at Crown Point Park on Mission Bay. \u00a0Discover Pacific Beach, the neighborhood\u2019s business district and host of the event, invites patrons to enjoy panoramic views and taste local brews and Pacific Beach restaurant samples from 18 participating venues.
\nClassic surfboards, beach cruisers, and beach-inspired art are part of the package, whose general admission is $47. For $5 more, you get the VIP treatment \u2013 meet the brewers and enjoy a more personalized experience from noon to 1 p.m.
