DESIGNHOUNDS TAKE KBIS 2019 BY STORM

Modenus announces leading influencers and new sponsors

Modenus Media, in partnership with the 2019 Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS), announces another first for KBIS 2019 -- the inaugural Designhounds KBIS tour which replaces the BlogTour KBIS.

BlogTour launched in 2011 and grew from 12 bloggers per tour to a group of 24 bloggers and social media influencers who previewed and covered all things KBIS. The new Designhounds network continues to reach online audiences of more than 1 million homeowners and design professionals and gives readers/followers front row seats to product launches, business and trend talks, plus dozens of special events at KBIS.

Modenus CEO Veronika Miller said, “The digital and social media landscape has changed a lot since 2011 and KBIS deserves to be covered on all important social media platforms. While I’m sad to end the very successful BlogTour chapter, I am thrilled to see how quickly #designhounds gained traction. Thank you to all of our loyal BlogTour legacy sponsors and new brands that have joined us this year for the inaugural Designhounds KBIS Tour. We look forward to seeing you at KBIS!”
