Doc/Fest tasks MK with PR brief
Documentary Film festival, Doc/Fest has appointed Sheffield-based agency MK Communications to handle its PR account.
The 12 month contract - which includes a combination of national and international media relations, marcomms and event management – was awarded following a three-way pitch.
Sheffield Doc/Fest 2008 is taking place between 5-9 November and will showcase over 100 films. It has become the UK’s must-attend festival for filmmakers, producers and commissioners alike, and attracts thousands of delegates from across the globe.
The account will be headed up by MK director Caroline Woffenden, who joined from Hill and Knowlton in January.
Heather Croall, festival director of Doc/Fest said the appointment was key in helping her team achieve its ambitious growth plans.
