UK PR for Matt LeBlanc
Episodes (BBC Two / Hat Trick / Showtime) and Top Gear (BBC Studios/BBC One)
Faber & Bishopp have worked with Matt LeBlanc on his UK PR campaigns for over 10 years. We were selected by Hat Trick Productions to manage the unit PR for US Network Showtime and BBC Two on "Episodes", starring Matt LeBlanc, Stephen Mangan and Tamsin Greig. Over five seasons on air, we secured numerous covers (Radio Times, Guardian, Daily Telegraph), repeated interviews on Graham Norton, Radio 1, Radio 2, ITV's This Morning, GMB and Lorraine and also a wide range of trade pieces for Hat Trick Productions, the show's creators David Crane and Jeffrey Klarik and the co-production network in the US, Showtime. We also supported Showtime's marketing team on EPK delivery and key art. Our work with Matt LeBlanc and Tamsin Greig throughout Episodes secured our relationships with them for personal PR projects, and when Matt was hired to host BBC One's Top Gear, we were brought in to strategise with his US retained publicist and protect his profile for the UK TX campaign.
