ABOUT
TESTIMONIALS
"I would most definitely recommend Scream. I've been working with them for the 10 years that i've been at Channel 4, whether on T4, 4 Music or other specials at the channel. They never cease to deliver and always bring a huge amount of enthusiasm to any project."

"I will always endorse the wonderful talent of Scream Towers! I've known the guys for a very long time and have only ever known them to be an A-List plugging team. You have to get involved with these guys if you want to reach the top."

"Screams attention to detail, understanding of strategy and mature attitude to all work undertaken is why they are one of our first choices of company. The fact that media contacts trust (and like) them also is a major factor. From plugging to event organising, from compiling red carpet activity to bonding with artists, their professionalism and positivity shine through. "

"I love working with Scream. Nothing is too much trouble for them and their events are always the most organised out there, and believe me, you don't get that that often! They've also sorted out lots of exclusives for us with their bands, so basically, big up Scream!"

"Having dealt with the Scream team on both sides on the fence, as both an artist they have looked after and from the industry view point, I have always found them nothing but friendly, accommodating and exceptionally professional. Scream did an awesome job at Download, making sure every request we at the BBC put forward happened smoothly and promptly. I even got a lift back to London with them. I can't sing their praises enough."

"I’ve been the Entertainment Editor at ITN London Tonight for about ten years and have worked with hundreds of music PR’s, publicists and pluggers in that time. I can put my hand on my heart and say that there is no-one more efficient, effective, enthusiastic, hard working or friendlier than Scream. They are brilliant at organising huge events (Brits, Reading, 02 Wireless etc) and massive acts (The Stones for instance) and are equally good at nurturing smaller acts. They always deliver, they anticipate the technical and editorial demands of broadcasters and resolve them. They understand precisely what we need and sort it out, they are excellent communicators and manage successfully even when under immense pressure. They have an excellent sense of what we and other broadcasters are looking for and our often widely different demands. They are the best in the business."

"Download is the highlight of my year & the fact that i know Scream are handling the event always makes me feel completely at ease.They are simply the best in the business at dealing with artists/ media & making sure that everything you could possibly need onsite is catered for in a friendly & efficient manner.Hosting the fan forum was a little daunting but once the night kicked off I thoroughly enjoyed myself!!"

Charlie Simpson
"Scream are always the best combination of personable and reliable, easy to work with and diligent, relaxed and efficient. For their part they make Download run so much more smoothly than other festivals – which can be PR carnage. They know what they’re doing and do it well!"

Add to this that they are one of the nicest bunch of people you could ever meet , working with Scream is always a smooth , happy and productive experience."
