Aim Publicity Turns 20
We’re excited to share that this month marks the 20th Anniversary of Aim Publicity and it's a very proud moment indeed.
In 2005, with many years of experience in the entertainment industry, owner Debbie Shenholds decided to bite the bullet and go it alone, setting up PR agency Aim Publicity. With dedication, drive and plenty of talent, here we are two decades later, going stronger than ever. This is thanks to a fantastic team amazing contacts and collaborators including filmmakers to actors, journalists to producers and everyone in between.
And of course our clients… some of which have been with us from the start: step forward Second Sight Films, our very first client and who, as you know, we still represent; along with Acorn Media International another longtime client. We’ve also enjoyed working with Dogwoof, Universal Pictures, Severin Films, AMC Networks, Viaplay, Picturehouse Entertainment and Lionsgate, to name a few, as our client list has grown exponentially and it’s a pleasure to work with them all.
It’s been a wild ride and so many stories to tell. Here’s to the next 20!
