The new arm makes Organic the first specialist entertainment communications agency to offer services across Europe, North America and Asia Pacific, cementing the agency’s position as a global leader in all areas of film, television and gaming publicity and social media.

The unique multi-territory network gives Organic Pacific the capability to operate in conjunction with Organic’s established international team to provide on the ground 24/7 international publicity services to the global teams of Organic’s current client base, as well as being able to offer domestic publicity and social expertise for clients located within the region.

Organic Pacific will be led by Annabelle Gigliotti (pictured), formerly of Roadshow Films, who will sit under Caragh Cook, Organic’s managing director based in Organic’s London HQ.

Gigliotti will work closely with managing partner Tristan Woods-Scawen and Global SVP Langsdale to deliver an interconnected approach across all three continents and a truly integrated strategy for Organic’s clients.

She has a deep understanding of the entertainment industry across all three regions, having been a leading publicist in London and LA previously, and I am thrilled that she has decided to join us to help launch Organic in a market that is bursting with talent and producing outstanding content.”
