Fringe Services

I’m now booked up for providing a full PR service for 2024 Fringe performances. However, I can still offer the below options where I make PR and advertising recommendations for your show, and then you do the work yourself. I am also able to help with video production too.

Here are the ways I can help:

PR & Marketing Consultation

Pick the brain of James 1-2-1. Includes:

  • An initial 30-minute online meeting to chat through what you would like to cover in your 1-2-1 session

  • After our meeting I spend up to two hours looking into your marketing & PR questions so I can make sure that the longer session answers them (topics could include campaign approach, writing releases, securing reviews, social media strategy, budgets)

  • 60-minute zoom session with me where I feedback my recommendations with Q&A

  • The longer session can be recorded so you can watch again

  • £200 GBP.

Advertising Advice

I can make recommendations on where to advertise in Scottish publications and outdoor in Edinburgh. Includes:

  • An initial 30-minute online meeting to chat about what you want to achieve with your show and your advertising

  • Can include advice on Out of Hand advertising - recommended formats/locations, commenting on copy/visual identity

  • After the initial meeting I talk to relevant publications, websites, and negotiate pricing based on a budget that you suggest

  • I email you a PDF report setting out my recommendations on where to advertise

  • £200 GBP.

Video

This year Paul Phelan is joining me to create video content for digital channels. He’s produced video for international news organisations such as Yahoo! News. Options include:

  • Create a trailer to showcase your production using existing footage. £250 GBP

  • Vox pop video - we'd interview members of your audience after one of your performances. £360 GBP

  • Production filming - archive recording of a whole performance with two cameras, multi-track audio, professionally mixed and produced for prospective producers. Up to 2 hours of filming on the ground. £750 GBP.

“We wanted to get reviews and build on our existing profile. I’ve worked with many PR firms over the years, but watching James ceaselessly build the number of reviewers who covered our show was truly a star performance in my book!”

Margarett Perry, Director

“The plan for rounding up reviewers, and generally raising the profile of the project was magnificent. I can’t recommend his services highly enough.”

John Jiler, American playwright

I am not VAT registered, so no VAT is payable. Payment for a consultation/advice session is taken when booking the initial meeting.

For video projects, the terms are a 50% deposit, then 25% after filming has been completed on location, and a final payment of 25% when the project is complete and approved. All invoices are due within seven calendar days of receipt, paid by bank transfer.
