Last Whites of the East End

Lambent Productions, BBC One, May 2016

In the usual heady rush of TV scheduling, we were contacted at the last minute just two weeks

before transmission to promote the thoughtful and provocative documentary Last Whites of

the East End.

This revealing documentary looked at contemporary Britain and the impact of immigration on

one long-standing community the East End cockneys. With the European referendum looming

and immigration at the top of the agenda, the challenge was to create a thoughtful campaign

that acknowledged the complexities lying beneath the surface of this story a portrait of this

tight-knit community, and what is driving them to leave.

Journalists from the Daily Telegraph and the Daily Mail invested a lot of time and energy visiting

the area and speaking to contributors first-hand resulting in thoughtful features that raised

important questions. The debate on radio and TV was similarly open and informed. On BBC

Londons Vanessa Feltz Show callers spoke about sweeping changes taking place across the city

from Bromley to Brixton, not just in Newham. Feltz noted that her own grandparents moved

from the East End to the suburbs. Meanwhile contributor Usmaan whose family has lived in the

East London for five generations spoke on Eddie Nestors Drive Time show about his real

concern that the cockney way of life would vanish.

Tales of the Grim Sleeper

Production Company: HBO Documentary Films, in association with Sky Atlantic & Lafayette

Films, February to March 2015

Legendary British filmmaker Nick Bromfields documentary, Tales of the Grim Sleeper, looks at

the arrest of Lonnie Franklin Jr in July 2010 after a 25-year killing spree in which it is thought he

could have killed over 100 women, potentially making him the most prolific serial killer in history.

Significantly his arrest was not the product of painstaking detective work but completely

accidental, the result of a computer DNA match that linked him to a possible 20 victims. Tales of

the Grim Sleeper looks into how it was possible for this to happen, investigating the shocking

levels of official neglect for African-Americans in the US today.

tpr media were approached to coordinate a publicity campaign around the UK nationwide

theatrical release across cities including London, Bristol, Norwich, Liverpool, Oxford, Canterbury,

Glasgow and Ipswich at cinemas including Curzon and Picturehouse branches. Our strategy was

both national and regional, resulting in features in the Guardian, Telegraph and The Sun,

alongside TV and radio interviews with a wide range of regional titles.

Holocaust: Night Will Fall

Spring Films & Angel TV, Channel 4, January 2015

Holocaust: Night Will Fall is Andr Singers powerful documentary about the liberation of the

Nazi concentration camps and how combat and newsreel cameramen filmed the almost

unbelievable scenes encountered there. Acclaimed by the 2014 Sheffield Doc/Fest jury, this

deeply moving film reveals the power of documentary and why it matters.

When Allied forces liberated the Nazi concentration camps in 1944-45, their terrible discoveries

revealed for the first time the full horror of what had happened. Making use of British, Soviet and

American footage, the Ministry of Informations Sidney Bernstein (later founder of Granada

Television) aimed to create a documentary that would provide lasting, undeniable evidence of the

Nazis unspeakable crimes. He commissioned a wealth of British talent, including writer and future

cabinet minister Richard Crossman and, as treatment advisor, his friend Alfred Hitchcock.

Yet, despite initial support from the British and US Governments, the film was shelved before it

could be completed. It was considered too sensitive for the rapidly changing political climate as

reconciliation with Germany was now imperative and the Soviet Union was emerging as a new

post-war enemy.

70 years later, on the anniversary of the liberation of the concentration camps, tpr media were

commissioned to coordinate a publicity campaign around Channel 4s broadcast, part of a

coordinated screening of the feature-length documentary across Europe and around the world,

including the US, Israel and Japan, with 15 other broadcasters.

Our coverage included a feature in the Guardian on the impact of the images in Holocaust: Night

Will Fall, an article in the Jewish Chronicle and an interview with Andr Singer on BBCs World

Services Weekend programme. Channel 4s consolidated viewing figures reached 2million.

No Fire Zone: The Killing Fields of Sri Lanka

Outsider TV, Channel 4, 2012 to 2016

Since 2012, weve been working on Callum Macraes Emmy and Nobel-nominated documentary

film No Fire Zone. The product of a three-year investigation, the film documents the horrific

human rights abuses committed in the closing weeks of civil war in Sri Lanka in 2009.

Were extremely proud to have managed an ongoing UK and international news and current

affairs press campaign for No Fire Zone, which has raised international awareness and even

helped to play a key role in convincing the UN Human Rights Council in March 2014 to launch a

major international war crimes investigation into the atrocities.

In addition to securing hundreds of articles, features and reports in newspapers, magazines and

websites worldwide from The New York Times to The Times of India as well as over 50

television interviews with Callum Macrae, No Fire Zones social media campaign was also visible

with the feature-length documentary widely tweeted about, from politicians to high profile

celebrities, trending both in the United Kingdom and India.

British Prime Minister, David Cameron, released the following statement on seeing the film and

called for an independent investigation: No Fire Zone is one of the most chilling documentaries

I've watched. Many of the images are truly shocking. This documentary raises very serious

questions that the Sri Lankan government must answer about what it did to protect innocent

civilians. Questions that strengthen the case for an independent investigation. Questions that need

answers if Sri Lanka is to build the truly peaceful and inclusive future its people deserve.

The Undateables

Betty TV, Channel 4, Series 1 3, 2012 to 2014

tpr media was responsible for promoting the first three series of Channel 4s The Undateables and

creating a brand for this award-winning series about dating and disability. There was a delicate

balance to be struck between being tasteful and provocative. Our contributors who were all

looking for a relationship with someone special had a range of disabilities, some physical, some

mental, and it was important for us to engage them in the campaign and for them to have input

in how it should run.

The title The Undateables is Channel 4 at its provocative best and designed to stimulate

debate. Many of the contributors liked this because they said that too often disabled people are

not heard but The Undateables couldnt be ignored. In fact, in the series titles the Un prefix of

Undateables is dislodged by cupids arrow, making the contributors dateable. The campaign,

across all three series, was at heart human interest and case-study led. We provided media

training for contributors who appeared on TV sofas Good Morning Britain, This Morning,

Lorraine and in articles in the Guardian and The Sun.

Dont Stop The Music

Fresh One Productions, Channel 4, July to December 2014

tpr media was commissioned to design and implement a visible, dynamic six-month media

campaign around the different elements of Dont Stop The Music, the passionate campaign of

internationally renowned pianist James Rhodes highlighting the decline of musical education in

primary schools.

The aim of the campaign which complemented a two-part Channel 4 TV series on Jamess

battle to improve music education in the UK was to encourage the public to donate unused

instrument to charity shops in a nationwide instrument amnesty. The instruments were then

given a new lease of life before being distributed to selected primary schools in need.

Our brief was to support the drive for school registration and instrument donations as well as the

wider political campaign engendered by the project, supported by celebrity ambassadors

including Paul McCartney, Tinie Tempah, Tom Jones and Jessie J and Labrinth.

The campaign required a strong, national profile coupled with regional grassroots coverage in

print, online and broadcast. We invested considerable resources liaising with 20 key primary

schools, creating resource packs, which included a template release and clear instructions on

how to place stories. Interest was enormous and helped influence mainstream audiences,

galvinising political opinion and debate. Coverage encompassed broadcast, nationals and

regionals, as well as specialist education and music press.

Justice for Health

From March 2015

Justice for Health is led by an independent group of five NHS doctors, speaking out on behalf of

the public and brought together by their passion for a safer and better NHS. Dr Ben White, Dr

Marie-Estella McVeigh, Dr Amar Mashru, Dr Fran Silman and Dr Nadia Masood all believe that

the imposition of an unsafe contract for junior doctors must be stopped as it will endanger

patient safety and affect the future of the NHS.

Earlier this year, tpr media were appointed by Justice for Heath, to lead an ongoing press

campaign to support a legal challenge against the new junior doctors contracts. This judicial

review process formed part of the ongoing challenge by junior doctors nationwide, including

Aprils unprecedented all-out strike in emergency departments.

tprs far reaching campaign began with the resignation of Dr Ben White live on Good Morning

Britain on Monday 25 April, the day before the first-ever all-out strike by doctors. Ben resigned in

protest over the new junior doctor contacts and the impact they would have on patient care and

the future of the NHS. His resignation became the key human interest story of the week. He

appeared again twice on Good Morning Britain. Other broadcast interviews included ITN, BBC

London Lunchtime News, London Live, ITV National News, the Jeremy Vine Show and LBC.

Bens resignation was covered by most national titles as part of the wider junior doctor strike

coverage, as well as the Standard and several online outlets including The Huffington Post,

Buzzfeed and Vice. Open letters by the Justice for Health team ran in The Telegraph, The Mirror

and the Standard. tpr medias longer term aim is to help the Justice for Health team identify key

stories that tie into wider issues about the NHS.
