Vicious Aubergine Production's Reviews
Getting Press Coverage during the Fringe can be a difficult task owing to
the fact that 60+ companies are competing for the same space.
What's the secret?
Well Mika opted for the creation of good press kits and distributing them
among the media populous. It earned her an interview with Estelle Rosen at
C.K.U.T radio and a slick photo in a Saturday Gazette. You can see it
HERE. (Gazette 119k)
Tim and I, on the other hand, opted for a publicity stunt and. . . it worked
too.
I had written an article to the Montreal Mirror coming down hard on some guy
who was complaining about their theatre critic Amy Barratt. You can see it
HERE. (Article 303k)
A few weeks later I had the idea of getting Chuff McKinnley (the
motivational character from Mainstream) to write back to me. So Tim and I
got to work and they published dear ol Chuffard. You can see that article
HERE. (Chuff 96k)
Sure enough Amy Barratt was following the Chuff saga and we managed to
entertain her enough to earn a spot in the next Montreal Mirror. You can see
her article HERE. (Mainstream 103k).
So I guess the moral of the story is if you don't get publicity make it.
After all that we still didn't get a review. Go figure.
