Is a Confidential Outreach Right for You?


Sometimes it helps to have someone else do professional, confidential outreach for you.

Distribution is a typical subject that's handled confidentially. A list of potential distributors or co-production partners is compiled, then outreach is conducted personally. Sometimes initial contact is by traditional printed, mailed business letter. That way when a follow-up telephone call is made, the usual response is "Yes, I do remember seeing that letter."

Once a contact is established, you are notified, and you and your representatives can pick up from there.

Above the line talent promotion can also be handled this way, but it's important to understand the difference between an attorney, an agent, and a publicist in this regard. As publicist, we only convey information that is non-proprietary. So our services do not lend themselves to promoting a script or screenplay.

The confidential aspect of our work refers to the fact that the outreach is private, not public. When we promote you through a press release, we want as many people as possible to know what we're doing. When we do a confidential outreach for you, no one knows about it other than us and the people we contact on your behalf.

We also do not negotiate on your behalf. We can make an introduction on your behalf, but all financial details would be handled by yourself, your attorney, agent, or manager.

Attorneys, agents, and managers prefer to "field offers," meaning that once you have offers, they will negotiate on your behalf. But many don't want to promote you to generate those offers, so that's where I come in.

If you are looking for a way to break through to the next level in your career, consider a confidential outreach, it could be exactly what you need to advance in your industry.

A confidential outreach will only work for certain people at certain points in their career, so if this sounds interesting to you, it's best to get back to me, tell me a little about what you are doing, and what you would like to accomplish, and I'll be glad to let you know if the technique might work for you.
