ABOUT US
Polymath was started in 2009 by Tom Brumpton FRSA with one goal: to take the best in music and cinema and get it in front of the right people. In that time, we’ve worked with Sundance Short Film Special Jury Award, Royal Television Society, and BAFTA Scotland & BIFA winning filmmakers. We have also promoted Grammy & Ivor Novella Award winners on projects starring Academy Award nominated & Golden Globe winning actors, alongside rising artists still finding their feet; the size is irrelevant if the work is solid.
WHO ARE WE AND WHY SHOULD YOU HIRE US?
We’re an award nominated Public Relations company based in Nottingham, UK, working primarily in entertainment and culture.
We’ve handled press for countless feature and short films & record releases, events, and tours. These include the BAFTA Scotland & BIFA winning short film “Too Rough” and Iranian/Norwegian metallers Confess’s latest album, which was listed in Metal Hammer’s “Most Anticipated Records Of 2022” list. We’ve also worked with Mosley Studios on their release for “The Ascent”, which was the first film to premiere inside VR.
We’ve managed media affairs for clients at the Tribeca, Sundance, SXSW, Slamdance, Toronto International Film Festival, Edinburgh International Film Festival, Hollyshorts, Birmingham Comic Con, and Download Festival, among others. We’ve participated in and chaired events, panels, and Q&As on PR for AMPAS, BAFTA Connect, BFI NETWORK, NAMM, & BBC Introducing, among others.
We’ve also handled affairs for an award-winning true crime podcast, a Netflix-acquired Nigerian sit-com, and a Norwegian heavy metal festival. We’ve worked numerous campaigns starring Oscar nominated actor John Malkovich; the short film “Hell” and the vinyl release “Illuminate” and promoted Metal Hammer’s comeback issue.
While guarantees can never be made on a campaign, at Polymath we pride ourselves on only taking on projects we’re passionate about. Your time and money are just as valuable as ours. If you’re promoting a new movie, event, or record and you’re in need of PR, Polymath has you covered.
