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."
Neil McCallum,
Head of Music at Channel 4
"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."
Mark Adams,
Head of Music at Box TV/ Kerrang! TV
"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."
Daniel Carter,
Presenter at Radio 1
"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. The always deliver, they anticipate the technical and editorial demands of broadcasters and resolve them. They understand precisely what we need and sort it out, thy 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. The are the best in the business."
Max Velody,
News Editor at London Tonight

"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!"
Emma Jones,
Entertainment Reporter at BBC News
"I love Download because of many reasons including how smoothly everything runs. I know a big part of that has to do with Scream. If I need something done, whether it's sorting out an interview, finding out what band is playing where, or even on occasion making sure I'm fed, they are always there with the answers I need."
Mike Davies,
Presenter at Radio 1
"I love Tony and CJ. They are quite simply two of the most fun and professional people you could ever wish to meet."

"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!"
James Gill,

"Thanks to the team at Scream for helping us out with our inaugural outside broadcast at the Carling Leeds Festival. From the planning stage to completion of the show you and the guys couldn’t have been more accommodating. Special thanks to you for enabling us to get the amazing shot from the side of the main stage at the top of the programme. It was a great success and long may it continue."
