DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE MEDIA WANTS?

WE DO.

Press+1 Publicity has evolved out of being a media outlet (Press+1 Publishing) and seeing the disconnect between what media need and what publicity provide. In short, the company, brand or person needing the publicity loses out.

We apply the insider's knowledge of what the media needs in order to get your word out to your audience...

KINDAH MARDAM BEY - President

genies_2008_061

Kindah Mardam Bey started in the entertainment industry over ten years ago as an Assistant Buyer at the Festival du Cannes. Being educated early on in her career on the value of publicity and promotions, Mardam Bey has applied her expertise to the film, theatre, tourism and publishing industries.

Earning a degree in Communications, Kindah Mardam Bey is continually inspired by the creative outlet of multi-platform communications and media. In 2006 Mardam Bey declared her own presence in the entertainment industry by launching A ‘n’ E Vibe, an online entertainment magazine that highlighted Canadian talent within an international framework. Overseeing fifty journalists who send in coverage daily across Canada, four Editors and two Managing Editors, Mardam Bey has made A ‘n’ E Vibe one of the fastest growing arts and entertainment online magazines in the country. In July 2009 she published a secondary online entertainment magazine, Press+1 (www.pressplus1.com) with the most advanced magazine layout available.

With Mardam Bey’s expertise in multi-platform communications, media, and an in-depth understanding of how entertainment connects with a prodigious online community, Press+1 will also have its own Publicity and Promotions division dedicated to rewriting how brands and the entertainment industry can effectively reach a savvy and connected online community of consumers.

Mardam Bey constantly seeks to push ideas from innovative concepts to concrete application; integrating virtual and real world publicity and promotions that connects with the online audience.

AMANDA WENEK - Publicist

AWenek1Amanda Wenek has been passionate about music and pop-culture her entire life, so she always assumed she would end up working in the entertainment industry; she just didn't know in what capacity. But when Amanda took on the role of Editor-in-Chief for her university newspaper, she realized a way into the world she has forever been so fascinated by.

Amanda graduated summa cum laude from Saint Mary's University with a BA in Honours Philosophy and English, and during her time in Halifax she threw herself into the thriving local music scene doing everything from promoting to reviewing the plethora of shows and festivals that came through the tiny metropolis. From there, Amanda enrolled in the Post-Graduate Diploma Program in Journalism at Concordia University and started writing for Press+1. She has been involved in many areas of arts and entertainment writing. After a summer with MTV Canada, surrounded by so many passionate people with a common goal: to spread the word of great bands, her career ambitions were solidified and a publicity opportunity with Press+1 presented itself. Cosmic timing.

A love for writing, music, and spreading the word of great talent (not to mention a natural knack for social networking and a keen desire to communicate with all people) has certainly paved the way for Amanda's success as Press+1's Toronto Publicist.
