PR
“It was a dream to work with Matthew on Press. He was very attentive, and we felt he really understood what we were looking to achieve from the run.” Southern Magpie Theatre
Looking for help with Press & PR for your Off West End show?
Matthew has developed his 15 years of experience managing Press & PR for his own shows to deliver a comprehensive press service for theatre companies looking for an honest, passionate and professional service for their show at very low rates.
As a theatre maker himself, Matthew knows just how daunting the idea of contacting and inviting press to review your show can be. Plus the hours of admin required to find out who best to write to, how best to contact them, liaising on booking tickets, providing press with production photos etc, all whilst trying to actually create and rehearse the show and manage all that that entails. In 2019 Matthew decided to use his many years of experience working alongside Off West End press to help other companies and theatre makers manage this process with ease, clarity and a personal touch.
“Working with Matthew was brilliant, he made us feel at ease, had a wealth of contacts and was friendly and attentive. Press night was a success and we can’t thank him enough!” Velenzia Spearpoint, Producer for TheatreLab.
Matthew has nurtured and built excellent working relationships with many press publications and editors and can ensure that your show is well attended by reviewers and that the Off West End scene as a whole is aware of your show.
“Matthew works incredibly hard to get the right people in the audience for you. He is genuinely invested in what he is promoting and that comes across in his work. Matthew is kind, generous, experienced and efficient – a fantastic communicator – you will want him on your team.” PigWig Productions.
Matthew has experience of running Press & PR campaigns for runs of any length; from 4-week runs to just 2 nights as part of a Festival, and dedicates himself to bring press coverage to each show, no matter the length of run.
“Matthew provided an amazing service for us on To Have and To Hold, particularly given that the production was for an initial two-night run only. He’s also a lovely chap, and incredibly easy to work with. We’d highly recommend him.” Dryad Theatre.
