The Artisan Group: Peek inside the V.I.P. swag bag from the GBK MTV Movie Awards Celebrity Gifting Lounge

Candy Washington2 Comments

Hi lovelies,

As an actress, writer, and social media influencer, one of the coolest events of the season to attend is the GBK MTV Movie Awards Celebrity Gifting Lounge.

My favorite part of the event is finding new products and services in beauty, health, fashion, lifestyle, and fitness and connecting with my fellow peers in the entertainment industry. 

But what I look forward to even more is discovering what's inside the coveted V.I.P. Celebrity Gift Bag from the Artisan Group. The Artisan Group is an impressive entertainment marketing organization, and they connect Hollywood to the best of the handcrafted movement including designers and entrepreneurs. 

Like usual, this year's V.I.P. swag bag did not disappoint.

Peek inside my V.I.P. bag below and be sure to connect with all of the lovely brands on social media.

Hi lovelies,

Awards season is officially in full swing and one of my favorite events to attend is the GBK Golden Globes Celebrity Gift Lounge. It's always a day full of fun, decadence, luxury, and catching up some of the coolest people in TV and film. 

For the latest in fashion, jewelry, and accessory design, I always head to where the Artisan Group has set up shop. It's one of my favorite parts of the event and uncovering all of the fashionable goodies inside the gift bag is reason enough to attend.

About the Artisan Group:
The Artisan Group® is a premiere entertainment marketing organization, and we are on a mission to introduce Hollywood to the best of the handcrafted movement

We do it by providing owners of artisan businesses the chance to introduce their products to celebrities, industry leaders, VIPs, and members of the press through participation in celebrity gift lounges such as those honoring The Academy Awards*, The Golden Globes* and The Primetime Emmys*. 

Because The Artisan Group takes a collaborative approach to participation in these lounges, a marketing opportunity that would be prohibitively expensive for most small companies becomes surprisingly affordable.

Members of The Artisan Group showcase an array of handcrafted products, including jewelry; bath and spa products; designer stationery and paper goods; crocheted and knitted accessories; clutches, purses and totes; hand-poured candles; hand-bound books and journals; illustrations and paintings; fine art photography; hair accessories; and pet accessories and toys.

Since 2011, our experienced event representatives have acted as spokespersons and ambassadors for countless artists at Hollywood's top gift lounges, with fantastic results. Because they know and trust us, most celebrities will pose for a professional photo with our artisans’ products.

Gifting celebrities is a great way to get your product noticed but often overlooked are members of the press and industry leaders. Not at The Artisan Group! At most gift lounges, as many as 50 members of the press will attend—including ABC NewsAOL BeautyThe Style NetworkThe Huffington PostE! NewsLife & Style MagazineTigerBeatSplash MagazinesFox and MSNBC. They are looking for the next 'big thing' to write about and we are there to help, offering specially prepared Press Bags that are designed to grab their attention.

We are also on-point with courting key industry executives, directors, set decorators, celebrity stylists, talent managers, producers, and buyers—because they love their swag too, and are often generous endorsers.

To date, The Artisan Group has placed over 300 artisan products, created by our members, on over 25 hit television shows.

The Artisan Group also offers members guidance in sales, marketing, social media and public relations.
