RAP SNACKS
Disrupt Summit 2024
OUR TASK
Rap Snacks engaged CNBetter Media to lead strategic publicity and press execution for the 2024 Rap Snacks Disrupt Summit, a high-profile convening where CPG meets culture, innovation, and leadership.
As “The Official Snack Brand of Hip Hop,” Rap Snacks required more than event coverage. The goal was to:
- Position Disrupt Summit as a premier, culture-forward CPG conference
- Elevate Founder & CEO James Lindsay as a visionary industry disruptor
- Ensure the summit commanded attention before, during, and after the event
CNBetter Media was brought on to architect visibility, manage press operations, and translate the summit’s cultural relevance into measurable media impact.
OUR SOLUTION
We executed a comprehensive, full-cycle media relations strategy designed to build anticipation, command attention on-site, and extend the life of the summit well beyond its final day.

Press Corps Curation & Media Relations
- Solicited, curated, and credentialed a diverse press corps representing business, culture, tech, and entertainment audiences.

- Served as the central point of contact for press, ensuring smooth access to speakers, founders, and key moments throughout the summit.
Post-Event Amplification
- Distributed a comprehensive post-event recap to attending and non-attending outlets, complete with photography, video assets, and summit highlights.
- Extended the life of the summit by servicing assets and interviews that continued coverage well beyond the event window.
