With over 175 locations and 28 mega stores in three states, Alamo Fireworks has everything you need to spark a good time. Our client is a family-owned retail and wholesale fireworks company who promises to deliver 100% happy memories guaranteed. Alamo Fireworks just wrapped up a booming Fourth of July season with record-breaking sales and we are thrilled to have been a part of the noise!

Noisy Trumpet supported their business through digital marketing services including social media management, SMS marketing, email marketing, web development and a digital advertising campaign that resulted in over 2.5 million total impressions. We also helped our client digitally promote their first-ever Alamo-To-Go Curbside Pickup with contactless service. This service allowed customers to order their fireworks ahead, skip the lines and protect themselves and employees during the pandemic by limiting the amount of person-to-person contact. 

The overall goal of our campaign was to raise brand awareness in their key markets leading up to the Fourth of July, drive curbside orders and increase sales. In addition to the services we provided, our sister company, The PM Group provided traditional marketing support that included creative and print projects. Quarter Moon Productions also featured Alamo Fireworks on their lifestyle and travel show, YOLO TX, showing a firsthand look at their incredible assortment of fireworks.

We can’t wait to see what’s in store for Texas’ favorite fireworks company this December. Stay tuned for our next campaign during New Year’s season as we help Alamo Fireworks light up the sky for another night of happy memories!

“You don’t have to be a veteran to wear Grunt Style, but you do have to love freedom, bacon and whiskey,” says our new client! Noisy Trumpet is honored to work with the nationally recognized, veteran-owned apparel company, Grunt Style. The company’s mission is to deliver high quality, patriotic apparel designed for first-responders, military veterans and their friends and family. 

In April, the company launched Operation Hero, a multi-city campaign to benefit the heroic men and women battling the frontlines of the coronavirus pandemic. As part of the campaign, Grunt Style funded several initiatives in its two home cities – San Antonio, Texas and Chicago, Illinois – to support these heroes with essentials such as food and other critical needs.

Grunt Style donated 20,000 masks to Operation Homefront and $25,000 to The Pillars Christian Learning Center in San Antonio to cover tuition costs for over 200 families, many of them essential workers, across its four centers. The company also partnered with local restaurant businesses in San Antonio and Chicago to donate over 10,000 free meals to healthcare workers across numerous hospitals by the end of May.

In partnership with Next Level Apparel, Grunt Style also pledged to donate a minimum of 20,000 of their “Hero-defined” t-shirts to our nation’s heroes at various healthcare facilities.

To help bring awareness to Grunt Style’s generous efforts, Noisy Trumpet developed a public relations plan that included the development and distribution of media materials and media outreach to local, regional, national and trade publications, which resulted in over 580,000 total impressions in coverage.

During the current pandemic, brands are increasing their online presence and leveraging digital content more than ever – particularly with podcasts. According to Medium, “Podcasts are an ongoing opportunity to connect with your audience, personalize your brand, and grow your business.” Most recently, our team facilitated and secured an interview for Grunt Style on Brian Basho’s “I Got Your 6” podcast. The interview which featured Grunt Style Chief Strategy Officer Tim Jensen, helped our client tap into a niche market to promote their community initiatives while building overall brand awareness. 

Just like Noisy Trumpet, Grunt Style is a community-first organization. They strive to make a difference by supporting those who aim to create a better future for all.

For over 32 years, our sister agency, The PM Group, has created a philanthropic culture of charitable giving, raising substantial funds annually in support of local nonprofit organizations. This year, we are proud to recognize their recent $50,000 donation to San Antonio Sports in support of the organization’s i play! afterschool program.

This donation was a direct result of The PM Group’s annual Texas Hold’em Charity Poker Tournament which took place on January 25, 2020 at Crown Ridge Banquet Hall in San Antonio, Texas. Noisy Trumpet helped promote the tournament through social, digital, and PR efforts and was a part of the volunteer team. One hundred percent of the net funds raised benefitted local charitable organizations like San Antonio Sports’ i play! afterschool program. In addition, another $30,000 was raised to benefit SA YES, Austin YES and CC YES, all 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations. 

San Antonio Sports’ i play! afterschool is an innovative program that ignites a love of sport in 3rd through 5th graders, while teaching them life lessons about active living, good nutrition, and strong personal character. The program currently serves 1,450 children in 58 elementary schools in San Antonio. With the impact of the pandemic on the organization’s fundraising efforts, this donation was essential for ensuring the program continues to serve and expand throughout our community. The organization also leads several other initiatives including The Power of Sport, the Hall of Fame Tribute, and most recently, Stay Active. Stay Healthy.

“I am proud to continue The PM Group’s legacy of giving to such a worthy organization that impacts our community in so many ways,” said Fran Yanity, President and COO of The PM Group and CEO of Noisy Trumpet.

San Antonio Sports, whose mission is to transform the community through the power of sport, has been an outstanding partner to both our agencies and we are honored to see this contribution benefit such an inspiring initiative.

Noisy Trumpet is proud to support our clients SA YES and Austin YES and their mission to support young students in our community with essential school supplies. We are mutually passionate about their cause, and feel empowered by the opportunity to give back. This year, several events for SA YES and Austin YES were impacted by the pandemic, including their annual Taste of Education Dinner, which typically raises more than $300,000 to support the organization’s initiatives. 

In response, Noisy Trumpet assisted SA YES in the launch of their new online auction that offers a variety of exciting items to bid on including TVs, iPads, gift cards, getaways, and more. To further supplement their fundraising efforts, SA YES’ 2020 Drive Away for Education Truck Raffle is underway and will take place June 1 – August 2, 2020. The raffle winner will have the chance to choose between five different truck options in partnership with the Ancira Auto Group and will be announced on Wednesday, August 5 during WOAI’s 10:00 p.m. newscast.

All proceeds from these fundraising initiatives will directly benefit SA YES and Austin YES’ Back to Basics Project for the 2020-2021 school year which will serve up to 18,000 students in San Antonio and Austin. 

Noisy Trumpet is humbled to be able to serve our nonprofit clients during this difficult time by helping them shift their fundraising strategies to digital alternatives. In a recent article, Noisy Trumpet CEO Fran Yanity explains that “the key to enduring today’s changing consumer landscape is to strengthen your brand presence by boosting engagement through online and digital channels.” 

With most social distancing guidelines still in place, we expect to see a continuous rise in digital marketing needs and we are well-equipped to help clients navigate this shift. In addition to digital, our team is also providing SA YES and Austin YES with web, social media and public relations services.

During the current climate of COVID-19, Noisy Trumpet is especially proud to be able to support small, local businesses like our new client, Halftime Pizza. Halftime Pizza was established six years ago in San Antonio as a family-friendly, sports-themed pizzeria and has flourished ever since. They offer freshly made pizzas, wings, burgers, ice cold drinks and whatever else you may need to enjoy watching your favorite team on game day. 

Noisy Trumpet’s digital team is supporting their business through digital marketing services including the creation and development of a multi-channel digital ad campaign. The goal of the campaign is to drive sales, orders, and increase brand awareness by promoting their daily specials and curbside pickup. Our Facebook and Google Search campaigns have just started running but have resulted in dozens of food orders so far.

Halftime Pizza has reopened its dining rooms to 50 percent capacity at both its Bandera Road and Tezel Road locations, and will continue to offer curbside pickup and delivery orders. We are happy to be partnering with this local San Antonio favorite who’s passionate about providing quality food in a welcoming environment.
