Ooh Brilliant to close next month
By Andy Malt | Published on Tuesday 21 April 2015
Music PR agency Ooh Brilliant will close on 1 May, founder James Penycate has announced. Since launching five years ago, the company has worked with artists including Mark Ronson, La Roux, Bloc Party, Manic Street Preachers, Tom Odell, Icona Pop, Gold Panda and Tove Lo.
“It is with great sadness that I announce the closure of Ooh Brilliant”, said Penycate in statement this morning. “At times it’s been incredibly exciting to work with such talented creatives and ultimately it’s been a privilege to work with so many of my musical heroes. I’d like to personally thank Karen Staughton, Anna Goss, Stephen Richards, Gareth Dobson and Columbia UK – without their help there is little doubt we would have made it this far”.
He continued: “I also take great pride in the staff who started their music careers with us and have all progressed across the industry. Sim Rollison is now Digital Marketing Manager at Columbia, Liv Mathias at Island in marketing, Holly Rubenstein is now at Reuters Music, as an Entertainment & Features Journalist, whilst Jasmine (Jazz) Atkin works at Mom + Pop as Digital Marketing Manager in New York”.
Over the last ten days before the company closes, it will publish a blog posts on its favourite moments on its Tumblr site.
