Monday 13th April 2015, London – Following a record number of new business enquiries (65% increase year on year) London based product placement agency Seesaw Media will open its first office in Los Angeles this week on Wilshire Boulevard in Beverly Hills.
As part of a network of like-minded agencies across Europe, this represents Seesaw Media’s first US office under the company’s current expansion plan and also the first UK based product placement agency to set up an office in the US.
“Since 2001 we have been working with the key film studios to secure clients exposure in high profile productions, filming from London to Los Angeles, Singapore to Sydney” says Darryl Collis founder and CEO of Seesaw Media.
Though many of this year’s upcoming blockbusters were shot in and around London – including Avengers – Age Of Ultron, Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation and the latest in the Bond franchise Spectre, Darryl still sees an importance in having a US presence and continues; “With a great team in place in our London office, now seems the right time and LA is the obvious place.”
Seesaw Media’s vision in terms of a US presence is to offer their UK and European client’s even greater access to global properties and US based productions.
With Seesaw’s unique offering of working on high profile television series, music videos and feature films that are viewed internationally, they have a body of work that clients in Europe and the US will be familiar.
Darryl notes that; “With American audiences taking to British produced television shows such as Downton Abbey, Mr Selfridge and Episodes and British audiences in turn enjoying House Of Cards, The Good Wife and Homeland, it makes sense for us to have an office in both locations, to offer our clients complete access.”
As one of the industry’s leading full service product placement agencies, Seesaw Media’s portfolio of clients includes many of the most recognisable names in fashion, alcohol, lifestyle, travel and automotive.
“Even after all these years, I still get a rush from seeing our client’s products being consumed, driven and worn on screen and I look forward to more of the same as we open our LA office”.
