B3 Creative Announce two New Appointments

Deborah Newcombe has joined specialist children and youth agency B3 Creative as Business Development Director. Deborah will use her extensive marketing experience within the youth sector to develop partnerships between brands, and provide children with engaging, entertaining, educational offers. Prior to joining B3 Creative, Deborah was Senior Marketing Manager EMEA at the Disney Channel working on High School Musical and Hannah Montana.

“I have known B3 Creative for 10 years as a brand manager,” explains Deborah, “and have repeatedly chosen to work with them because they are experts at communicating with children and are highly professional project managers. They are also lovely people to work with! So I was really excited to accept a position with them.”

Deborah’s previous work in the youth sector includes roles in Brand Management at LEGO, Mattel Toys and Nickelodeon & Viacom Consumer Products.

Sarah Townsend has rejoined the youth and licensing sector with a new role at B3 Creative as Publishing Manager. Sarah had been working as a teacher but many in the industry will remember her from her days in the Licensing Department of Nickelodeon

“I first got to know B3 Creative when I was working at Nickelodeon and Viacom,” explains Sarah. “They always struck me as a friendly and efficient company so when the opportunity arose, I jumped at the chance. It’s a great opportunity for me to use my experience of licensing and the educational sector to work with a company that quite simply does great campaigns for children.”

B3 Creative’s Managing Director James Marsh adds: “We are delighted to welcome Deborah and Sarah to B3 Creative. Their knowledge of, and enthusiasm for, the youth sector is second to none. It’s an exciting time for us as we see the company expand our message of ‘Engage..Entertain… Educate’ to all areas of children’s marketing.

Note to Editors: B3 Creative is a niche agency that provides creative solutions for design, publishing and consultancy in the children’s and youth sector. Everything the company works on is aimed at either children and youth, or at those who care for or work with children and youth. B3 Creative was founded in 2005 by managing director James Marsh, following a buy out of the B3 Partnership.

Stunning PR Announce ‘Overspill Service’ for Busy Publishers

Stunning PR  is offering an ‘overspill service’ to busy publishers who may be short staffed over the summer months and need some additional help with their publicity.  For £1k I will write or rewrite a press release and mail to my extensive list of media contacts.  Prior to starting Stunning, I was Director of Noble PR for fifteen years where I worked for Virgin Books, Warner Bros., SonyBMG, Egmont, amongst others. 

I hope this low cost service will appeal to busy publishers who are looking to give their books an extra push.  I know firsthand the difference it can make to a campaign working with someone who has great media contacts.  I’m not looking to replace the work done by in-house publicists but to add to their accomplishments.

Contact me asap to discuss how I can help on 0207 272 9967 or 07957 371840.

Summer Events at the Movieum

Make your own Movie at the Movieum: Grab a camera from the reception (£15), pick up a shooting script and make your own movie in the Movieum. When you’re finished, the Movieum will turn it into a DVD for you to take home with you. This new ‘extra’ is just one of the many initiatives offered by the Movieum to teach both big and little kids about filmmaking. Filled with real movie-sets and props from The Borrowers, Star Wars, Pirates of the Caribbean, Dr. Who and much more, the Movieum is hoping that the venue will attract not just those interested in movies but amateur filmmakers who want to film there. With more than 40,000 square feet of shooting space, including the amazing Debating Chamber, the Movieum is an ideal location for wannabee filmmakers to hone their craft.

The Cannes in a Van Film Festival: 1-3rd June the Movieum will be running the CiaV Film Festival. Cannes in a Van is Britain’s only contribution to the world famous Cannes Film Festival, showcasing 100 independent British films all from the back of a van! The Movieum is proud to be showcasing the event and will be running movies throughout the 3 days on screens dotted around the venue.

The Mo Gillett Collection in the Stills Gallery: Arguably, the most famous gaffer (Lighting Technician) in the British Industry, this personal collection of photographic and cine records going back to 1933 can be seen for the first time at the Movieum. Mo Gillett, who passed away in 2003, was the author of: ‘Light ‘em Up!: A Gaffer Remembers a Lifetime Maaking Movies.’ His personal collection includes photographs of stars such as Marlene Dietrich, Richard Burton, Frank Sinatra and many other celebrities from a bygone era. This is the first time his collection has ever been seen and has kindly been donated by his family.
