Over the past 12 months, Global Mechanic Media has significantly expanded both its roster and service offering. With its digital division now fully integrated into the commercial group, continuing to get the good word out to Ad Agencies is key. With their reputation and experience in all aspects of commercial production, Liz Laine Reps is perfectly positioned to market Global Mechanic Media in these two important marketplaces.
Liz Shaw, founder of Liz Laine Reps commented on the relationship saying “I have known Global Mechanic Media‘s creative director Bruce Alcock for years and am thrilled to represent his company and great roster of directors. Why did we want to add Global to our roster: the combination of the wide range of animation techniques, Bruce’s great reputation in Chicago, their strong and specific artistic point of view which flows through the work, and their totally professional approach to production and workflow. In addition, Global Mechanic Media‘s movement into interactive, app development etc fits right into our interest, and our client’s needs, in New Media. They really can provide anything an agency needs.”
