You only need to be local if you need someone in-house, are on-set, do a celebrity satellite media tour or have a movie premiere.
The media could care less where you live.
Many of the countries top entertainment journalist’s work at home.
Many great relationships have already developed with top entertainment media both in-person and by phone and email.
Chicago is the third biggest city in the country.
Chicago’s time zone is right in the middle of Los Angeles and New York-- extending the amount of hours one can be reached by phone.
Overhead is cheaper in Chicago.
14 years of successful, national entertainment exposure directed solely out of Chicago should tell you something.
