Since 2009 Polymath has endeavoured to work with the best bands, film makers and creatives to help deliver their message to the right audience. We’ve managed campaigns for up-and-coming acts, to Grammy winning singers and Acadamy Award nominated actors. We’ve helped sell out red carpet screenings, represented clients at a diverse range of events including Birmingham Comic Con, Download Festival an

d Frightfest, and assisted in multiple fundraising efforts for creative and charitable endeavours. Away from our campaigns, we often take part in and chair discussions on PR, marketing and branding. We’ve done so for an array of institutions including AMPAS, BAFTA, the BFI, BBC Introducing, NAMM and more. We regularly post about our upcoming talks and the goal of them is to educate and inform people on how to create awareness for their brands and how best to promote themselves. For more details on services, please get in touch or visit our website – www.polymath-pr.com

I haven’t posted much about work this year, mainly because I’ve just been that flat out between campaigns, festivals, auditions, and stand-up shows.

2024 has been a great year for Polymath so far, having repped documentaries, feature and short films at three of the top film festivals in the world; Berlinale - Berlin International Film Festival, Dublin International Film Festival, and Slamdance.

We’ve also had the joy of working with talent such as Tatjana Teapro on the promotion of her incredible short film "Your Reality" and Mark Hampton in support of his recent appearance in Amazon MGM Studios big-budget action flick "Heads of State" alongside John Cena and Idris Elba. I've also had my hand in managing press for the absolute fiends in Dead Flesh, who are set to appear in the upcoming issue of Metal Hammer!

We are currently looking to take on new projects for May onwards, so if you’re reading this and in need of a PR assist, hit me up.

Furthermore, something I’ve dabbled with for a while is the idea of starting a TikTok channel. The goal would be to create short videos for actors, filmmakers, and bands trying to navigate promotion, but also to any freelancers looking to make a career in the arts but who are struggling with where to start and how to maintain in the current climate.

If there is anything specific that anyone reading this who fits in those categories’ fits, please drop a comment below with any questions you might have on the topic of PR. My plan is to gather any responses I get together and look to answer them in the videos.

If you could give this post a share, it would be much appreciated. Cheers all! X

About Us

Polymath PR head-honcho Tom Brumpton has had his work recognised by The Recording Academy, secured multiple award nominations and wins for his PR and film projects, and re-establish British metallers Raging Speedhorn. He was made a full member of the Chartered Institute of Public Relations in 2016, was interviewed for the 2017 book “Disadvantaged Populations & Technology in Music” and was appointed a judge for the Heavy Music Awards in 2017, 2018 and 2019. He was made a member of BAFTA Crews in 2018.

In 2011, Tom began working with US promotions company Music Promotion Inc. In 2015 he worked as part of the promotional team on reggae group Morgan Heritage’s Grammy winning ‘Strictly Roots’ album. For their efforts, the team had their work individually recognised by The Recording Academy. Through MPi, Tom worked for the David Lynch Foundation, promoting records featuring Moby, Iggy Pop and Tom Waits among others. He also promoted Dave Stewart’s 2012 London Olympics single “Man To Man (Woman To Woman)” and one of Michael Hutchence’s unreleased tracks, “Friction” produced by composer Danny Saber.

Tom’s worked across a range of genres, with his clientele ranging from up and comers to Academy Award nominated actors and Grammy winners. He’s handled campaigns for large and small-scale tours and events, including the Trondheim Metal Festival, the Chatham House event “Art As An Act Of Defiance” and the red carpet premiere for the 2018 action film Outlawed. Since 2014 Tom’s handled media affairs for British metallers Raging Speedhorn, including co-managing their crowd-funding campaign for the band’s 2016 album “Lost Ritual”, which raised over £14,000.
