ENTERTAINMENT BRAND STRATEGIES OVERVIEW

MEDIA RELATIONSHIPS

With 60 employees in Los Angeles and New York, I/D has built an extensive network of relationships based on years of experience. It is through this network and our reputation within the industry that we are able to secure optimum media exposure for our clients.

While our core business is centered in the entertainment market, our publicists and account executives actively extend their efforts into the arenas of lifestyle, fashion, retail, sports, business and technology as well. Through these interactions we are able to create and solidify relationships between our clients and media outlets regionally, nationally, and globally.

NETWORK EXTENSION

We believe in educating the media about our clients, and are determined to ensure they know our talent as more than just a “face” and each brand as more than just a “name.” One of the most fundamental components of any successful publicity and marketing campaign is the creation and nurturing of relationships for a client within the industries of entertainment, fashion and business. I/D facilitates introductions between clients and select editors, writers, photographers, stylists and other key cultural influencers to bolster a client’s mediapresence.

CELEBRITY OUTREACH

A company built upon a foundation of long-standing entertainment relationships, I/D assists in aligning consumer brands with celebrities. Through gifting, event attendance and endorsements, we are able to provide our clients in commerce, film, television, music and sports with business affiliations of unlimited potential. In allowing corporations unfamiliar with the entertainment marketplace access to our network, we can further these talent relationships in a manner mutually beneficial to both the client and the celebrity.

CONSUMER PROMOTIONS

The team at I/D identifies and establishes valuable partnerships between our clients and select retail, philanthropic and media outlets. Through carefully orchestrated events and promotional initiatives, we are able to devise and implement a creative brand strategy on a client’s behalf, and provide them with unparalleled exposure to a broad consumer audience.

SPECIAL EVENTS

With clients including Tiffany & Co., Variety, Cartier, Fendi, DKNY and Swarovski, I/D has forged a reputation as the industry’s premier agency for strategic event planning, production and execution. We have produced notable brand launches, store openings, premieres and galas for clients in film, television, philanthropy and fashion. Always keeping our strategic goals in mind, we utilize our vast network of resources to produce press-worthy events seamlessly integrated with a client or brand’s publicity and marketing plan. As either the sole producer of an event or as a consultant, I/D delivers celebrities, red carpet press, creative design, guest invitations, location scouting, sponsorships and more. I/D always develops the appropriate strategy to achieve the most targeted and optimal campaign on a client’s behalf.

FILM & TELEVISION CAMPAIGNS

I/D takes a results-driven approach in mounting release campaigns for films and television programs. In researching the marketplace, we identify trends in demographics and consumer products which best fit the needs of a client. Through celebrity outreach, event planning and consultation, I/D constructs and institutes a targeted release campaign reflecting these trends.

From the limited releases of independent films to worldwide studio releases, I/D prides itself on the creation and execution of film campaigns tailored to a client’s overall career path, as well as their immediate critical and commercial goals. Utilizing our relationships with pundits, guilds, critics, influencers and Academy members, we provide comprehensive targeted positioning for clients as their projects approach their respective awards seasons.

WORLDWIDE FESTIVAL SUPPORT

I/D travels to locations around the globe, showcasing ground-breaking films and intriguing consumer brands to eclectic filmmaking audiences, media outlets, opinion leaders and celebrities. Navigating the waters of film sales and distribution, I/D represents films as well as their casts, directors, producers, or writers. From the Cannes International Film Festival in France to the Venice International Film Festival in Italy, from the Toronto International Film Festival in Canada to America’s very own Sundance, New York and Tribeca Film Festivals, I/D provides full-service festival support to our clients.

CRISIS MANAGEMENT

In today’s media-saturated society, facing the pressures of Internet and tabloid-based press coverage can be a precarious and intricate task. Based on a foundation of trust, I/D is able to efficiently and effectively diffuse media crises for our personal and corporate clients. The representatives of I/D leverage their own relationships with media outlets to actively control and stabilize any problematic situation that might arise. We institute crisis management strategies and respond to controversial media developments with creativity, tact, and professionalism to preserve the image and reputation of each of our clients.

MARKETING CONSULTATION

I/D appreciates the extent to which superior marketing and publicity have become vital in achieving success within today’s consumer culture. We don’t simply “publicize” a client’s brand image. We consult with corporations, studios, record labels and production houses to ensure a client’s image is used in only the most appropriate fashion, lending our expertise when needed as large-scale campaigns are mounted on a client’s behalf. Using creative strategies, we seek to inform and educate corporate entities in an effort to properly represent a client’s goals.
