HULU “MASTERMIND: TO THINK LIKE A KILLER” DR. ANN BURGESS (Book Interviews) - To stop serial killers, you need to think like one. In this new Hulu series, follow FBI specialist Dr. Ann Burgess as she explores the minds of notorious murderers. From widely known criminals like Ed Kemper and Ted Bundy to lesser-known cases like the Ski Mask Rapist, Burgess investigates and studies the damaged psyches of victims and their attackers, piecing together two halves of the same story to catch a killer. Premiering on July 11, this series offers a fascinating new perspective on the woman whose crime-hunting innovations changed history. Dr. Ann Burgess is available for virtual interviews.

DISCOVERY “ALIEN ENCOUNTERS: FACT OR FICTION” (Book Interviews) - This all-new series, premiering June 19 on Discovery Channel and Max, investigates the veracity behind personal accounts of otherworldly experiences.

All of the artists are available for in-person and virtual interviews.

“INSIDE OUT 2” (Disney & Pixar) - With the second-best animated movie opening of all-time, the “Inside Out 2” marketing team must be feeling all the feels. Let’s take a look at how they doubled down on major partnerships (which we think made the difference!). The campaign included: an UBER collaboration tied to their teen account launch; BUBBLE skincare “Face your Feels” branded kit; limited edition JoyBurst drinks; SAMSUNG “Discover the Joy” campaign; AirBnB re-created the “Inside Out 2” headquarters; Band-Aid released “From Hurt to Happy” limited-edition band-aids; NBA on ESPN promo featured Dwayne Wade (and his internal thoughts) and a brilliant bit of airport marketing. These initiatives spanned tech, beauty and sports and each one of them generated national press, social media buzz, overall awareness — and big box office results!
