Our extensive experience coupled with our strong media relationships provides us the ability to create successful campaigns. We use the elements of traditional media-print, radio, electronic press-coupled with new media-online, social media. Blogs, Facebook Live forums etc.-to gain maximum exposure. Additionally, we escort our clients to all major red carpet premieres, award shows [as guests or as presenters] and charity fundraisers to ensure our clients are taken care of. We also arrange meetings with agents, managers, casting directors and production houses (for our clients who have their own projects for development). We believe in being personally involved with each client and our passion extends to many initiatives outside the scope of PR to help meet the goals of our clients.
