LINDA BROWN

(Partner)

​

Linda Brown's publicity experience is diverse and impressive. Brown has worked in the arenas of Unit Publicity, Broadcast & Release PR for TV and Film, and Film Festival publicity. She is currently serving as Unit Publicist on the Netflix/Shondaland production THE RESIDENCE by Paul William Davies. Recent work includes the original anthology series GASLIT starring Sean Penn and Julia Roberts for Universal Content Productions/STARZ; and the original series SHINING VALE starring Courteney Cox, Greg Kinnear, and Mira Sorvino for Warner Bros Productions/STARZ (both seasons) created by Jeff Astrof. Brown served as Unit Publicist for Shining Vale and remained on for its broadcast premiere. Other recent work includes Season 3 of the cult hit PARTY DOWN for STARZ/Lionsgate, created by Rob Thomas and starring Adam Scott, Ken Marino, Jane Lynch, Ryan Hansen, Megan Mullally, Martin Starr, and Jennifer Garner.

 

As unit publicist Brown not only performs traditional publicity work but serves as a field producer on EPK shoots, and coordinator for series marketing shoots, press days, and virtual panels from the set. She also produces and shoots BTS and digital social media content.

 

Brown has worked as a unit, festival, and release publicist on countless films (partial list attached). Highlights include TESLA starring Ethan Hawke, Jim Gaffigan, and Kyle MacLaughlin, by Director: Michael Almereyda;  THE OUTPOST starring Orlando Bloom, Scott Eastwood, and Milo Gibson, by Director: Rod Lurie; the RESIDENT EVIL films, EXPERIMENTER directed by Michael Almereyda and starring Peter Saarsgard, Taryn Manning, Kellan Lutz, Winona Ryder, and Jon Leguizamo; and MGM’s theatrical remake of the 1980’s musical classic VALLEY GIRL.

 

Brown spent six years at the prestigious PMK Public Relations (now PMK/HBH) during which time she spearheaded unit publicity and release campaigns for film and television projects. One of the most successful campaigns includes the launch and subsequent years as a unit and campaign strategist for the critical sensation The Simpsons with James L. Brooks for 20th Century Fox Television. From there she initiated and developed the motion picture department at Bragman Nyman Cafarelli (BNC/HBH) and went on to serve as Sr. Director for the famed Rogers & Cowan. She went on to create Indie PR with Jim Dobson; developed as a means to bring publicists working independently together to share ideas, resources, and information in a cohesive daily office experience. 

 

Brown works closely with publicity and marketing departments of studios and networks; creating marketing materials and press releases, and managing visuals. When working as a Union Publicist, Brown separates herself by bringing an added layer to her work if desired. In addition to collaborating with the network and studio on the show’s publicity needs, she is able to use her experience and talent for shooting behind-the-scenes supplemental social media and EPK footage, which has proven to save her clients thousands of dollars per show and deliver personalized results of talent and filmmakers. Brown has served as visual content manager on a variety of projects and is an IATSE, Local 600 member, which enables her to shoot on set.

 

Brown has been recognized for her work at film festivals both domestically and internationally for her ability to navigate festival waters for indie filmmakers through well-thought-out publicity and marketing campaigns with the goal of a sale. She was singled out and featured in ICG Magazine four years in a row as one of the best festival publicists in Hollywood.  The Sundance Film Festival dedicated a chapter to Brown in its Sundance: A Festival Virgin’s Guide, in which they named her one of the best publicist choices to work the Sundance Film Festival.  She is also featured in Chris Gore’s Ultimate Film Festival Survival Guide where she explains the do’s and dont's of festival publicity.
