O2 Spa Bar Media Coverage
The proof is in the pudding as they say...
Following an incredibly successful launch party in March of 1996 for its oxygen bar - the first oxygen bar in the world - O2 Spa Bar was recognized as a thought leader, trend setter, "the oxygen expert", and a benchmark for the hundreds (possibly thousands) of entrepreneurs who were inspired to follow suit with similar businesses. Below are some of the worldwide television, newspaper, and magazine sources that were caught spreading the gossip. Within 7 months after opening day, a New York PR source claimed to have never seen press coverage so widespread before, and estimated the value of such unprecedented media attention at around 30 million dollars.
