Issue 12.10.24

For our last newsletter of 2024, we wanted to thank our subscribers and supporters! We produced 36 issues and received and facilitated over 2100+ media requests. Having both sides (publicists and new media) come to the table engaged — it’s magic. To book an interview we need interest and availability to align. When it does, it reduces friction and simplifies our jobs.

We appreciate everyone who tried and tested this tool. We’d love it if you could take this survey so we can improve in 2025!

NETFLIX “SQUID GAME” LAUNCH - With its holiday premiere, NFL lead-in, and early Golden Globe nomination, the buzz for Netflix’s “Squid Game” is ramping up. The streamer hosted a premiere event in Seoul —with the cast descending a long staircase wrapped in pink and lined with pink-suited guards. Then they got iconic photos from the live games in Paris and Italy with the giant mechanical doll (LA race will be 12/12). They dropped a collab with American artist, kaws, with a limited edition of the Young-Hee doll. We can’t wait to see the rest of their campaign through the holidays.
