What We Do
First Call acts as your celebrity advisor from start to finish. We are objective in our approach to ensure the campaign meets its goals. Whether for a Fortune 500 company, an advertising agency, a public relations firm or a boutique business, First Call helps maximize the use of a celebrity through every step of a campaign.
Our highest priority is choosing a celebrity whose value exceeds his/her cost. Mastering this equation is crucial to the success of a campaign, and this is where we come in.
For Advertising Campaigns, we do everything from selecting the talent to negotiating terms to executing the program - our capabilities are full-service. We've placed talent in all types of media including print campaigns, TV commercials, the online and outdoor.
For PR Programs, we ensure that the spokesperson a brand chooses becomes synonymous with the brand's core values and attributes. We are experienced in providing talent solutions for satellite media tours, radio media tours, press events, viral marketing campaigns, network interviews and other national and regional PR outlets.
For Entertainment we leverage appropriate talent to support brand strategy and ultimately transform star power into a memorable experience with tangible benefits. Our Music + Entertainment group assists brands in navigating the entertainment landscape across numerous platforms including: music, film, television, video games, fashion, and theme parks.
For Corporate Speeches, Meet-and-Greets and Hospitality, we understand the challenges that come along with choosing the right celebrity, speaker or influencer. We will work with you to ensure that the talent you use matches your creative, demographics and budget and that your sales meetings, conferences, retreats, lecture series and hospitality tents are first class experiences.
