A clear campaign strategy, the best media relationships in the business, and passion for every project means 818 work every angle to create interesting, engaging and extensive coverage across all mediums.

Whether it’s through can’t-miss-it live television coverage of a red carpet release party, front-page feature coverage to drive ticket sales, or a hashtag that captures the imagination of local social media influencers, we will make sure your project gets the attention it deserves.
