PR for Film Production Companies in Ghana
Production companies need PR for each release and for the company itself: a reputation that attracts talent, partners, funders and distributors, built through a clear slate, credible leaders and consistent delivery.
Film production companies in Ghana need two kinds of PR: campaigns that help each release find its audience, and a company reputation that attracts talent, partners, funders, broadcasters and distributors. Both depend on a clear identity, credible leadership, consistent delivery and planning marketing from the start of each project.
Build the company's identity
What kind of stories does the company tell, for which audiences, and to what standard? A clear identity helps partners understand where the company fits. See how to write a company boilerplate and description.
Plan marketing from development
Marketing should be part of each film's plan, with budget and responsibility, from the start. Our founder makes that case in why Ghanaian films need a marketing strategy from the start.
Capture material during production
Behind-the-scenes photographs and video are far easier to capture on set than to recreate. See how to plan a content shoot around campaign deliverables.
Run release campaigns
Each film needs its own campaign: audience, assets, premiere, festivals and viewing routes. See how to market an independent film before its premiere, how to plan a film premiere event and how to build a film festival submission strategy.
Position the leaders
Producers and directors can build credibility through interviews, festival panels and articles. See how to build a thought leadership programme for founders.
Build partnerships
Brands, broadcasters, streaming platforms, cultural institutes and sponsors can support productions and releases. See brand sponsorship and product placement explained and what Ghanaian brands can learn from Nollywood's marketing.
Keep a professional slate
Maintain a current list of projects in development, production and release, with approved materials for each, for partners and media.
Protect reputation
Disputes over credits, payments or content can become public. Agree terms clearly and prepare for issues. See reputation management explained.
