A few examples of our work
TV SPONSORSHIP:
Blondie Media are currently in pre-production of various genres and formats of Television productions. If you have been considering Television advertising in the form of brand awareness through TV Sponsorship we have a variety of subject areas we are currently producing shows and formats for. Please contact the team to discuss TV Sponsorship.
TV PILOT:
We can creatively develop a TV concept from an entertainment perspective about your product or business, which will then be pitched to all the big networks for commissioning. Hence a very small initial investment for the possibility of Maximum TV exposure for an on-going series on a household network.
All Blondie Media productions are filmed in HD.
Many small businesses wonder: Why do I need to develop a PR strategy?
The answer is very simple: Media appearances generate leads and potential sales without you pushing very hard.
Good PR is known to create or enhance credibility and as a result elevates you above your competition. Your personal brand/ business will be seen as a leader in the field when supported by good publications.
A PR strategy will also help to get your messages across.
Most of all, PR is about reaching a wider audience. More people seeing your business means more potential clients using your products or services. Think about it, not many people throw magazines away, which will make your story and business more sustainable in their homes, opposed to printed leaflets or business cards. Additionally most people do not open magazines to see the colorful adds but to read the articles.
PR is all about impressing current clients and attracting new ones. The internet is the main source of information at the moment and this is the place for your business to be. PR is powerful because it’s ‘earned media’ in the form of an article rather than ‘paid media’ in the form of an advert. If a half-page advert in the Business section is worth £5,000, a PR story on the front page of the same size is worth roughly five times that much.
What we can offer you:
After an interview with you, getting to know your needs and objectives we will determine your target audience, develop a database of contacts from day one and determine what PR story you should communicate.
Within the first month we will formulate a PR strategy in writing that details explicitly whom the PR strategy will target and what message it will communicate.
This includes rooting out the most scintillating, convincing story angles and matching those up with the most receptive outlets, be it in the form of an event, a press release, pitch letters, informational interviews or all of the above.
We will allocate a person within our team that will be responsible for your business and you will know exactly who’s working for you on a day-to-day basis. That person will contact you each week throughout your contract to give you progress updates.
Typical contracts run for twelve months, with a review after nine months that allows you to walk away if you aren't satisfied.
Our Creative Services cover a multitude of media, wedding and fashion options.
We work with your business to find the best available media or photographic services available through our team to suit your target audience/demographic and can assist in building your brand.
