When we first formed Click, we would tell stories about how, back in 2003, no one cared about reaching online audiences, and online journalists didn’t care about home entertainment. We compared that with 2007, a time when many studios realized they needed to be in front of online audiences, but the pool of interested online media had gotten so large that matching the right product and story with the right sites was a fairly daunting proposition.  As such, we were often hired to “solve the online problem.” In fact, once word got out about how handily we could navigate the web, we got really busy really fast, and our company grew from two people to seven in a few short months.

Today, of course, there are a myriad of different ways to “solve the online problem” because the problems are as vast and unique as the people and agencies prepared to take them on. The major difference between online publicity Then and Now, however, is that online has shifted from Problem to Priority.

When online outreach is viewed as a problem to be solved, it automatically makes it a problem to be solved. Everything becomes last-minute and fast breaking, not just because of the dynamic pace of the online medium, but because most long-lead attention is still placed with traditional media. And if traditional media publicity doesn’t meet expectations, online coverage becomes the consolation prize.

When online outreach is viewed as a priority, on the other hand, wonderful things can start to happen. For example, if you wait until the last couple weeks of a campaign to roll out your online strategy, then what happens earlier in the campaign when you’re pitching broadcast and long-lead print publications about your new brand that no one’s ever heard of? Those producers and writers will Google your product and come up with…. Nothing. By contrast, if you prioritize your online outreach early on to take place throughout the life of your campaign, then you build up Google results, conversations and the all-important Buzz.

Our approach at Click has elevated online outreach beyond a priority to become a driving force in campaign strategy. This frees us from some of the old rules and restrictions that can apply to available assets, allowing our team to parcel out exclusive content, premium items, compelling interviews and exciting event opportunities across multiple mediums to reach true market saturation with our ideal audience.

The Click team is also particularly deft at finding new ways of maximizing assets in fresh, creative ways. After all, when it comes to rolling out publicity and marketing materials over a period of time to your target audience, you have to be careful. Think of your assets like ingredients, and your press as a mix of carnivores, vegetarians, foodies and picky children.  You can either parcel out your interviews, video clips and widgets (or meat, vegetables and cheese, if you will), to the people who want each individual item the most. Or you can put them together to form, say, a delicious pizza—something unique and mouth-watering for everyone.

The trick, especially with a long campaign, is to make sure that you’re not pitching the same story to the same person over and over again. I don’t care how much a person likes a pizza—if they hear about it three times a week, they’re going to get sick of it and stop returning your emails.

Luckily for our clients, the Click team avoids this kind of creative fatigue with the right blend of targeting, timing, and our signature Click creativity and genuine enthusiasm. Our online experts are well-rounded, strategic publicity and marketing professionals, ready to lead the way on our clients campaigns, and deliver outstanding (and occasionally delicious) results.

Dinah McLean

In April 2007 I was offered a fantastic promotion at Ticketmaster, where I’d worked for seven years. I came home to discuss the offer with my husband and our conversation eventually revealed that I was actually ready for a change at a new company, ideally one that offered a short commute and an upgrade in gear—as well as a fun and challenging professional growth opportunity, of course. As fate would have it, he happened to be right in the process of converting his freelance work into an agency, and how cool would it be if the agency offered online publicity AND marketing services? I very quickly ran some projections (like I do), set up our first set of goals, and the next thing I knew we had a business license and were designing a logo to put on our first sales deck. We haven’t stopped moving since.

Mac

Mac McLean

I had left the company of Terry Hines & Associates in the Fall of 2006, after 7 1/2 years of film promotions within an agency.  In April of 2007 I was freelancing for another agency, something I hadn’t done since the mid-ninties when I was working in concert production.  I was primarily handling the online outreach for Buena Vista Home Entertainment, along with a random odd job here and there when Disney came to me one day and said “You know, if you were a company, we could hire you directly.”  By the first week of May, Click Communications was up and running.

Dre

Dre Birskovich

Five years ago I was hustling between a bunch of part time jobs and just running myself ragged. Originally,I had wanted to escape the 9 to 5 grind behind a desk and have more freedom during the day, but I ended up working more hours just trying to make ends meet having little to no free time. Finding Click was true kismet. Finally, I could be gainfully employed with a salary and benefits, and I could work in my sweatpants without someone looking over my shoulder every minute of the day!

Emily

Emily Ronkar

Five years ago I had been living in L.A for 2 years, and was working as an assistant at a publicity/promotional agency based in Burbank. I was living in Toluca Lake with 2 roommates and had not yet acquired my heart; my Schnauzer/Jack Russell puppy, Lucy.

Scott

Scott Neumyer

Five years ago, I was about six months away from joining Click. I was wasting away in a job (and industry) that I’d grown tired of and couldn’t find a viable way to make interesting again. Then I met Mac and finally got the chance to do my dream job.

Jackie

Jackie Cavanagh

Five years ago, I was living in New York and working on the David Bowie-curated High Line and a new television show with a relatively unknown cast that would premiere later that summer…Mad Men.

Tyler

Tyler Gagnon

At this time 5 years ago I had just returned from a year of living in Alberta, Canada outside of Banff National Park. Leading into the summer I got my first taste of Hollywood as a Production Assistant on the independent film, American Primitive. The film starred Stacey Dash (Clueless) and was a great way to spend the summer on Cape Cod before heading back to college after a year on snowboarding hiatus.

Julie

Julie Camberg

Five years ago I was living in Huntington Beach and working as the Store Manager at Buffalo Exchange, a resale clothing store in Costa Mesa. This was a wonderful time for me, as I was living with some of my best friends and adding to my wardrobe almost daily with sweet vintage finds from work. Little did I know, years later I’d be given the opportunity to meet Mac and Dinah and work for an amazing company like Click. I look forward to reflecting on Click’s accomplishments fives years from now!

Kim

Kim Veasey

Five years ago I was working at a PR firm in Beverly Hills, preparing Ocean’s Thirteen to go to the Cannes Film Festival with the entire cast, ramping up the PR campaign for The Orphanage, a Spanish-launguage film from producer Guillermo del Toro, as well as starting the awards campaigns for The Bucket List, I Am Legend, The Assassination of Jesse James and Michael Clayton. Michael Clayton was one of the best campaigns I’ve ever worked on…People loved the film, hanging out with George Clooney at screening events didn’t suck, and it ended the following year in an Oscar win for Best Supporting Actress for Tilda Swinton. Best time ever!!

Haley

Haley Lierman

Being the baby at Click, it will surprise no one that five years ago I was still in High School. It was cheer competition season and I was suffering through two-a-day practices to make sure no stunt was left unperfected, and spending the rest of my days dreaming about heading off to college a whopping 20 miles away! Unfortunately around this time senioritis got the best of me – I was more focused on my prom dress than my work!

Tommy

Tommy Gardner

I had recently gotten out of grad school and was working as an assistant manager at GameStop in North Kingstown, Rhode Island. It was a fun job! I got to talk video games and movies with people all day (being able to borrow any game I wanted wasn’t half bad either!)

Mac

1. Click’s Comic-Con Survival Guide.  I have been the resident nerd in most companies I worked at for most of my life.  Being able to create this guide was sheer glee for me and it’s something I look forward to creating and sharing with everyone every year.  I’ve already got a list going for this year’s issue!

2. You’re Hired!  Beyond “allowing” interns to work for us in a previous agency, I had never actually interviewed and hired anyone before starting Click.  While sifting through mounds and mounds of ridiculous resumes can be a little disheartening, we have been insanely lucky in hiring such great people throughout our five short years and it’s been a pleasure working with them all.

3. Visiting Pixar, Winston, ILM and the ARL.  When you’re as big a film nerd as me, getting to see where some of the greatest design work is created is spellbinding.  I’ve had the pleasure of visiting Pixar multiple times for UP and Ratatouille, and the miniature work for the UP house was incredible.  At Winston studios, I got to see some of the Hammer Drones and a piece of the War Machine armor long before it was supposed to be seen.  ILM is littered with props from so many favorite childhood films like Innerspace.  The Animation Research Library is one of the coolest places to visit because you can see everything from an original frame from Steamboat Willie to clay maquettes from The Nightmare Before Christmas.

4. Star Trek, LOST, Voltron, Inglourious Basterds.  Red carpets and press events can be exciting, disastrous or boring, depending on a variety of factors, but some of my favorite moments have been meeting the geeks and Hey It’s That Guy actors.  So being able to hang out and talk with folks like Bruce Greenwood, Gregg Henry, Zoe Bell, Michael Emerson, Robert Forster, Kevin McKidd and Seth Green have definitely been highlights.

5. Meeting Optimus Prime.  While working on The Transformers, we were able to secure press for a lunch with Peter Cullen.  I’m not a professional writer, so adequately defining the sense of awe and wonderment when I got to sit with him for a lunch is a challenge.  He was magnificent.

Dinah

Click Turns One!

1. Telling our family & friends that Mac & I were forming a company together and having them all unanimously respond, “It’s about time.”

2. Locking in clickcommunications.com. You never know, when you name your company, if you’re actually going to get the URL you want for your site. We had to bid on ours in an auction, and when we won it I jumped up & did a giddy little happy dance right where we were working… which happened to be in the basement restaurant at the Elliot Bay Book Company in Seattle. It just made things that much more official.

3. Our 1 Year Anniversary celebration. We made t-shirts, drank tequila shots out of limes, saw Iron Man. The first year flew by in a flash, but it still felt epic.

4. Runway for Life 2008. We worked this event with Disney, and it was a pretty typical talent-handling sort of affair. Except at this one, I got to meet Jon Hamm.

5. Click’s Comic-con Survival Guide. Every one of them. It’s highly unusual for a PR agency to create something—we usually just promote things. But we’re a creative, passionate bunch here at Click, and our Survival Guide really shows our clients & press partners what geeks we really are. Making the Guide is my favorite thing we do every year, and it just keeps getting better and better.

Scott

Iron Man

1. Iron Man – Just an enormous campaign for a movie that truly kicked off the Marvel Movieverse. My largest campaign to date and still one of the most fun.

2. Pulp Fiction & Jackie Brown – Classic films coming to Blu-ray that gave me the chance to chat with legends like Pam Grier and Robert Forster.

3. Chillerama – My favorite genre (horror) and getting to work directly with the four directors was insanely fun.

4. Scott Pilgrim vs. The World – Amazing film and a campaign with tons of awesome features, angles, and talent.

5. Avatar – It was a ton of work, but well worth it for such a great film and campaign.

Emily

Comic-Con 2009

1. Streamy Awards – it was challenging, interesting, and fun; it was such a great experience working so closely with all the Click teamsters on this event.

2. Comic Con 2009 – My first ever Comic Con, it was overwhelming, exciting, fun, and a little magical. We attended parties, spent time with our amazing press and just had a blast being amongst “our people”.

3. Scarface Blu-ray Premiere – It was like being a part of history, 30 years after its initial premiere, seeing the cast/filmmakers sit and tell stories of their experience was a truly wonderful Hollywood moment.

4. Tinker Bell campaign – It involves so much work from so many different people/departments, and is so wonderful to see something succeed so well. Having now worked on all four Tink campaigns to date, it’s fun to know that I’ve been there from the beginning.

5. TV on DVD – I start working on the titles in January, and finish around November; it’s hours upon hours of time spent pushing through title after title, and at the end it’s such an epic sense of accomplishment

Dre

1. Emily performing the Hoedown Throwdown from the Hannah Montana Movie for the very first time at a Click backyard BBQ. (She still knows it! Ask her for a show next time you see her.)

2. Attending Comic Con with the Click Clique for the very first time in 2009 and staying at the Hotel Del Coronado – can you say Adult Pool?

3. Attending the press day at Pixar for the Blu-ray & DVD of Wall-E. They REQUIRE employees to participate in 4 hours of extra-curriculars every week!

4. Getting my groove on during an African Dance lesson with some fabulous mommies during our Lion King blogger day.

5. I am most proud of my dual campaigns for the theatrical 3D and home entertainment releases of Disney’s The Lion King. With an extended timeline, I packaged assets and rolled them out using creative ideas that have since been adapted for other campaigns, and resulted in one of the company’s largest campaigns to date!

Jackie

Back to the Future

1. Back to the Future Trilogy: 25th Anniversary Edition – One of the hardest secrets I have ever had to keep as a publicist was when I first saw the never-before-released Eric Stoltz film footage months before street date. It was like going back in time and in the words of Marty McFly, I knew that “history is gonna change” when we released that clip. Interest was so high online that it temporarily shut down several sites. The campaign culminated with an international press conference and cast reunion event – complete with the ultimate DeLorean cake from Ace of Cakes. Who knew it would be my “density” to help promote one of my favorite childhood films?

2. Scarface Limited Edition Blu-ray – “The world is yours” in PR when you have the opportunity to work with A-List talent and an iconic film. The campaign included a fan art contest limited edition hand-crafted humidor, multiple features and a party with the “Mang,” himself, Al Pacino! From the talent Q&A to a special performance by Ludacris and tasty treats from Border Grill chefs Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feniger, Clicksters, including myself, really enjoyed living large in Tony Montana’s world…for one night.

3. The Big Lebowski Limited Edition Blu-ray –
Achievers united when the cast was brought back together for this special release of the 1998 Cohen Brothers cult comedy at the 10th anniversary of Lebowski Fest Thousands of costume-dressed fans descended on the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York to worship at the temple of The Dude. The love and White Russians were freely flowing at the sold out event where the boisterous crowd did not hesitate to chime in with their favorite quotes and give multiple standing ovations for the cast during the 45 minute chat. For those who couldn’t attend, the campaign included a live feed of the Q&A via LiveStream.

4. Fast Five – Concerts and screaming fans at premieres are nothing compared to the roar of engines revving at Nascar. The campaign included the Fast Five 225 race at the Chicagoland Speedway with Tyrese and Jordana Brewster and has the distinction of being the loudest event I have ever worked. It was as exhilarating, fast and fun as the film, itself.

5. “Lost”: The Complete Collection – A collector’s edition set filled with a hidden disc, a BD-Live master’s degree program for die hard fans at Lost University and the new 12-minute episode “The New Man in Charge” was a fitting way to say good bye to the series that redefined television. The campaign included the box unveiling, interviews with Michael Emerson and the opportunity to watch some of the bonus features at the Lost props auction where fans could take home everything from Dharma Initiative can goods to that creepy Squirrel Baby. However, I still have questions…

Tyler

Scarface

1. Scarface has been my favorite campaign to assist with during my time here at Click. This campaign was a great learning experience on multiple fronts, from targeted research to working my first red carpet event!

2. The Lion King 3D Blu-ray release, working on a giant campaign such as this gave me insight into what Click Communications is capable of doing and trust me it is A LOT!

3. Danny Phantom was my first campaign that I got my feet wet in experiencing being a lead publicist. It was my first opportunity to draft a targeted pitch list and create assets to be pushed out across the web!

4. Jake and the Never Land Pirates: Yo, Ho Mateys Away! My first Disney pre-school title where I was the lead publicist. With help from our senior staffers, they taught me a great deal of how to handle bigger promotional items and proper asset roll out.

5. The Muppets, this was just a fun campaign to assist on, with all the hilarious parody clips, Muppet interviews and other creative assets.

Julie

Click Clique

1. Meeting my fellow Clicksters for the first time. We all got together to wish Brigid a fond farewell (tear), and I was just tickled at how warm and welcoming everyone was. I felt an instant connection to the team, and have since learned so much from all of them. We’re like a little family and everyday I am inspired by their hard work and commitment to one another and our clients. A gal can’t ask for much more than that from her fellow teammates.

2. 2011 Comic-Con Survival Guide. I became a Clicker at the end of June of last year, which meant we were in the thick of prepping our annual Comic-Con Survival Guide and kits. It was my first big project for Click, and it took a lot of work from all of us. I remember looking at the final edition of the guide and thinking, “Wow, I can’t believe my name is tied to such a masterpiece!”

3. Working the Scarface party. This marked my first encounter with a red carpet event, and boy was I over the moon. It was such a fun event to work with the rest of the gang, and being able to enjoy a Q & A with the cast, Scarface-themed cocktails and a performance by Ludacris was pretty much…the bees knees.

4. Scorpion King 3 press junket. I enjoyed working this event because it was my first press junket, and I learned a lot! I even got to sit in on some of the talent interviews, which was both interesting and enjoyable. That Bostin Christopher is a hoot!

5. Working on campaigns like I Don’t Know How She Does It, Lady and the Tramp, and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. While my contribution to these campaigns were more administrative, I always enjoy putting together party kits for our press. They’re hard work, and require lots of organization, but seeing posts of kiddos in mustaches and pirate gear makes it all worth it. Adorable!

Kim

Dumbo

1. Dumbo – I wasn’t allowed to watch Dumbo when I was little for some reason (I’ll have to ask my Mom about that one haha) so I wasn’t familiar with the story or the movie. This campaign really allowed me to learn and understand why it was such a beloved classic! We had such great activities I had a “Week of Dumbo” rollout, fun contests and features, and Webex sessions with the restoration team!! This was my first really huge campaign at Click and I enjoyed every minute of it!

2. Prep & Landing – This campaign was like the little engine that could!! We didn’t have much but clips and contests and yet people LOVED this short and cute little DVD. I had MAD requests for it, and it just goes to show you that if people like the story (and it helps that it was holiday season appropriate!) then they will promote it. The clips were hilarious too!!

3. Cars 2 – I had worked at Pixar Animation Studios during the theatrical run of this film so it was nice to be on the other side, and also work on the home entertainment release. I had a TON of assets and Q&A’s and clips and activities and contests and slideshows, and character interviews, and talent interviews… I mean you name it, we HAD it for this campaign. And since it was such a beloved franchise, the press and bloggers were incredibly receptive. It was a lot of work, but it was fun to bookend my time at Pixar by working on the film one last time.

4. I Don’t Know How She Does It – I have no idea how she does it! Haha, the fun things we were able to do with this title from the Best Apps for Mom’s, to the mom kits for the Career Mom and the Mom On The Go (shout out to Julie and Haley for help with those!) made it a truly fun campaign! We had so many responses, I had never seen that many entries for our contests before! One site had over 10,000!! And while I’m still not quite sure how SJP does it, I’m glad we were able to engage our mommy bloggers with a film they ALL completely related to.

5. Texas Killing Fields – This title was a tough subject, with a great cast, and yet it was still at times a tough sell. The main reason why I enjoyed it so much was that it got me back to working in theatrical PR which I remember fondly.

Haley

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

1. Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides Campaign: This was the first campaign where I was able to put my true gift in life to good use: shopping. Finding cost effective yet entertaining items is clealry my calling.

2. I Don’t Know How She Does It: Once again, an opportunity to put together a kit for moms that involved a merchandise hunt. Of course, I am no mother, and I honestly don’t know how they do it, so input from Dinah was crucial.

3. Holiday Gift Guide: Researching sites with holiday gift guides was a ton of work. And while there were times I thought it would never end – you wouldn’t believe the amazing gifts I found while searching through hundreds of Holiday Gift Guides!

4. Lady and the Tramp: There were so many adorable promotional items and widgets being rolled I couldn’t help but fall in love like I was under the influence of my own bella notte.

5. The Hunger Games – Just proposing ideas for this amazing movie had me more excited than I have ever been. I can’t wait to see what comes of it!

Tommy

Phineas & Ferb: The Perry Files

So many cool things have been happening since I started with Click 3 months ago.
1. I’ve really enjoyed working on “Phineas and Ferb: The Perry Files”, it’s a really funny show that’s just as appealing to adults as kids.

2. I’ve also really been enjoying working on a lot of the “New to Blu-ray” titles. A lot of them are older movies that I grew up watching, such as High Fidelity, Adventures in Babysitting, and Judge Dredd.

3 & 4. Going to see John Carter and The Hunger Games with the Click team on release day was a great experience as well. It’s great to go see new films with others who are equally enthusiastic about them.
