Polymath PR

I haven’t posted much about work this year, mainly because I’ve just been that flat out between campaigns, festivals, auditions, and stand-up shows.

2024 has been a great year for Polymath so far, having repped documentaries, feature and short films at three of the top film festivals in the world; Berlinale - Berlin International Film Festival, Dublin International Film Festival, and Slamdance.

We’ve also had the joy of working with talent such as Tatjana Teapro on the promotion of her incredible short film "Your Reality" and Mark Hampton in support of his recent appearance in Amazon MGM Studios big-budget action flick "Heads of State" alongside John Cena and Idris Elba. I've also had my hand in managing press for the absolute fiends in Dead Flesh, who are set to appear in the upcoming issue of Metal Hammer!

We are currently looking to take on new projects for May onwards, so if you’re reading this and in need of a PR assist, hit me up.

Furthermore, something I’ve dabbled with for a while is the idea of starting a TikTok channel. The goal would be to create short videos for actors, filmmakers, and bands trying to navigate promotion, but also to any freelancers looking to make a career in the arts but who are struggling with where to start and how to maintain in the current climate.

If there is anything specific that anyone reading this who fits in those categories’ fits, please drop a comment below with any questions you might have on the topic of PR. My plan is to gather any responses I get together and look to answer them in the videos.

If you could give this post a share, it would be much appreciated. Cheers all! X
