SCREAM Promotions was set up in October 2003 by Tony Cooke and Claire Jarvis.

Tony previously worked in promotions for EMI, Chrysalis and Warners, where he looked after artists such as Green Day, Alanis Morrissette, The Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Madonna and Cher. He then went to work at LD Publicity where he set up their TV and Radio plugging arm "LD Promotions" with Claire Jarvis (previously of Sony Records / LWT & Terrie Doherty Promotions). Tony and Claire spent four years at LD looking after the Radio and TV for various artists including The Rolling Stones, Roxy Music, Bad Religion, Rancid, David Gilmour and various records on AATW.

Tony and Claire left LD in October 2003 to set up SCREAM Promotions, which is now one of the UK's leading plugging companies. They were joined in 2006 by Scott Bartlett previously of independent London PR company Velocity Communications. Scott has worked on and overseen national/regional press and radio & TV campaigns for the likes of Alan McGee, Death Disco, Anthony Wilson, 65daysofstatic, Poptones, Epitaph Records, Sanctuary Music Group, Sub Pop Records, Telstar Records, Malcolm McLaren and Steve Lamacq's Punk Rock K among others.

The team is completed by account executives Natalie Kutscher (artists) and Natalie Jennings (events).

Testimonials...

“I’ve been the Entertainment Editor at ITN London Tonight for about 10 years & 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 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 & other broadcasters are looking for and our often widely different demands.  They are the best in the business.”
(Max Velody, News Editor - London Tonight)

"Having dealt with the Scream team on both sides of 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, Radio 1 Presenter)
