The Shamrock Spitfire
We ran an incredibly successful press campaign for 101 Films’ home release of multi-award-winning WWII feature The Shamrock Spitfire. Our efforts saw the film soar to the top of the Amazon online charts.
Securing interview time with writing/directing team, Ian and Dominic Higgins, we were over the moon to place a double-page feature in The Sun, print and online. We arranged the interview and photo shoot and are thrilled with the fantastic piece that saw a reach of more than eight million.
Our campaign also saw us secure features across national press, military/ aviation media, including RAF News and Irish press, including Irish Daily Star, Irish Daily Mirror, The Irish World and Dublin People. We arranged a slew of interviews across BBC regional radio and garnered a very positive review in The Guardian, as well as reviews from the likes of History of War Magazine, Key Aero, Soldier Magazine and Best Of British.
Acorn TV UK
As we approach Acorn TV’s fourth anniversary in the UK, our ongoing partnership with AMC Network's subscription TV on-demand service has seen some incredible achievements. Our work continues to make a great impact for Acorn TV, ensuring it keeps its much-deserved place amongst the streaming giants.
We’ve been instrumental in launching several immensely popular TV series, including Harry Wild, Mrs Sidhu Investigates, Darby and Joan, The Chelsea Detective and Agatha Raisin. We’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with notable talents such as Jane Seymour, Adrian Scarborough and Ashley Jensen to place wide-reaching coverage, across national press, consumer magazines and broadcast and online outlets, which garners widespread attention.
Most recently, our efforts saw a remarkable spread in Radio Times, which highlights the new crime queens on the block and saw a stunning photo shoot and exclusive interviews with many of Acorn TV’s talented leading ladies, whom we've had the pleasure of working with over the years. This includes Meera Syal for Mrs Sidhu Investigates, Sally Lindsay for The Madame Blanc Mysteries, Kerry Godliman for Whitstable Pearl and Greta Scacchi for Darby and Joan.
FrightFest 2023 + Mancunian Man
We had the pleasure of handling the press for a veritable feast of features at FrightFest 2023 – which we’re always thrilled to be a part of.
Elizabeth Hurley’s fantasy horror Piper had its World Premiere on the IMAX screen and was a hit with the fans. It was fantastic to work with stars Mia Jenkins and Jack Stewart as well as director Anthony Waller on the media wall and our campaign secured an impressive roster of reviews, including Kim Newman, Sci-Fi Now, Movie Reviews 101, Cinerama, The Hollywood News and a monster load of genre press.
We were also delighted to work with Melancholy Star for their truly original Greek creature feature Minore, for its European premiere.

John Rhys Davies, who is not only a true screen legend, but also hugely entertaining, was a joy to work with and horror favourite Richard Brake, was an absolute dream to work with and had loads of great stories.
