Promotion & Publicity work Nowadays your work won't thrive as it deserves to unless you have a strong grasp from the start of how you're going to market and publicise it. Ian has taken leading roles in the promotion and publicity of several of his creative projects, achieving excellent exposure in the press and with potential audiences. |

Ian wrote and produced the successful Lenton Boulevard entry to the 2003 Radio 1 Student Radio Awards, which resulted in the series winning 'Best Entertainment Show' - click here to download the sampler compilation (MP3, 9MB) and press release (Word, 20KB). The bid was greatly enhanced by the involvement of BBC Radio Nottingham - prior publicity work resulted in a live interview with Ian and the series Executive Producer in the popular Karl Cooper Breakfast Show, an online feature, and the entire series becoming promoted and hosted by the BBC online (above left). |

Publicising the show's award-winning success earned significant industry praise and media exposure. The series was given a major colour third-page feature in The Nottingham Evening Post (below left), and earned interest and praise from industry professionals including The Archers Editor Vanessa Whitburn. |
