SHOOT® kicks off 2011 with two issues that will provide a glimpse of the future—both for the immediate awards season ahead as well as much further down the road. SHOOT’s January 21st and February 18th issues are all about previews and predictions.
For Your Consideration
Both issues will provide coverage of the ongoing awards season of which SHOOT itself has become an increasingly important component. Long known for its in-depth coverage of the DGA Awards, SHOOT is also now proving to be a medium valued by those looking to expose the merits of their cases for Oscar® consideration. “The Hurt Locker” advertised last year on SHOOTonline and The SHOOT>e.dition as part of what proved to be a campaign that culminated in the movie earning top honors for all awards shows—including Best Picture and Best Director Oscars. So far this year, campaigns promoting The King’s Speech, Blue Valentine, The Fighter and The Social Network have been appearing on SHOOT’s website and e.ditions. From both editorial and marketing perspectives, SHOOT is the place to be this awards season! SHOOT’s marketing options include SHOOT Magazine, SHOOTonline, The SHOOT>e.dition and The SHOOT Publicity Wire Service.
With the film industry awards season in high gear and the Sundance & Slamdance Film Fests, DGA, VES, ASC, Spirit and Academy Awards fast approaching, SHOOT readers will be looking forward to our continued coverage of the commercial/entertainment crossover dynamic and our preview & wrap-up coverage of all the major award shows. Covering select artists, stories and developments in the entertainment industry that carry interest and implications from talent and business perspectives for tens of thousands of powerful subscribers who are agency and studio creatives & producers, and commercial & film production/post industry executives and artisans, SHOOT is deep at work on the first two issues of 2011.
