PR With A Conscience
TV Development, Books and Ideas To TV and Film
Steve Allen Media is constantly going out on a limb to expand the media buzz about our clients’ work. We describe several of our “talk∙about∙able” projects on our “Talk∙about∙ables” page, but we are dedicating this page to a unique consultation service we have developed for securing even greater media exposure. How about a legitimate shot at getting your own TV show? “What!” you say? There are no guarantees of course, but heck, let’s throw the dice!
About 6 years ago, production companies, show runners, and casting agents began reaching out to us looking for a charismatic psychic, passionate relationship expert, edgy therapist, etc. be involved in a show they were developing. Production companies were developing more and more reality shows, and they needed to find personalities of all sorts to drive them. Where to find those folks? I guess the word was out, call Steve Allen Media. They work with all kinds of fascinating, talented experts who are not only authorities in their fields but have the media training and camera experience, to boot.
The impressive talent we have presented to these entertainment insiders over the last several years has opened the door for them to welcome our pitches and answer our calls, and that roster of insider contacts is steadily growing. We have garnered six shopping agreements for our clients over the last five years. (Shopping agreements are negotiated between the client and producer, allowing the producer to further develop the show idea and the legal privilege to knock on network and streamers’ doors in hopes of finding a buyer.) Although the creative ideas we’ve helped circulate have drawn some interest, none have come to fruition yet. (They say only 1 in 50 ideas in Hollywood make it, so the odds are long.) However, we have excitement riding into 2025 with two TV ideas that are currently being shopped around town. And one of our client’s books, Pope Annalisa, is being shopped around by a film producer who’s envisioning it as a limited TV series.
If you would love to be a regular on a TV show or have an idea for your own show, let’s hear it! Our TV development service could become a perfect free addition to your campaign.
"Steve Allen is one of the brightest and most talented PR guys in the biz. Over the years, I have produced several TV and radio shows including Leeza, Montel, A&E Biography and Dr. Laura. He is the first person I think of when I am looking for experts and authors."
