Hello and welcome back to our PGM Newsletters. Over the past several months, our team at Pinnacle Group Marketing has been very busy and active preparing for an exciting new direction that you will be seeing from us in 2015. As always, thank you for taking the time to read our monthly PGM update, we hope that it proves to be informative for you. Highlights Over this summer our team at PGM took part in several notable activities. Marcus Cyganiak and Andrea Jauck stepped up and participated in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge in support of ALSA.org. You can watch the following video to see them in action with the ice buckets on a private dock in beautiful Belcarra, BC. Our team also had the distinct privilege of visiting the $59.5 million Shelter Island Estate at Montana’s Flathead Lake this fall on behalf of The Pinnacle List Over a period of 4 days at Shelter Island, our team had the incredible opportunity of capturing the true essence of luxury living at one of the most exclusive Private Island Estates in the world. We created a video presentation of the estate for The Pinnacle List featuring Marcus Cyganiak and Andrea Jauck. We look forward to sharing the video of the estate and more about our new real estate marketing activities planned for 2015 with you soon.
