Impact specialises in breaking urban acts in the UK. We can organise everything from underground street promotion to more mainstream radio and TV play on urban networks as well as key performances, consulting on street remixes and how to ensure your act is at the forefront of the urban movement. We can also put together the right team to ensure that your artist gains maximum exposure and build a campaigne from start to finish.
We have worked with the following acts: Ms Dynamite (Polydor), Big Brovaz, Lemar, The 411 (Sony), Beverley Knight (EMI), Desert Eagle Discs (Echo), Keisha White (Warner), Kevin Mark Trail (EMI) and 2 Play (Inferno) amongst many.
EVENT Management
Impact worked for MTV for five years doing the majority of their on the ground club events as well as organising club tours for Channel 4, Sega Europe, and numerous showcase events for record lables. We have organised events at most of London's West End venues and have an excellent database of performance artists and event installation experts to cater for parties both large and small.
This is what some of our clients have to say about working with Impact -
" Thank you for your assistance in making Big Brovaz one of Britains biggest urban acts. "
Nick Raphael, VP Sony UK
"The best thing to come of it is that we found you and your team. We are really looking forward to working with you in the future.."
David Rowell, Head of Marketing, Echo Records
"It was a pleasure to work with a company so passionate, meticulous, and knowldegable about the urban scene. Thank you for all your your hard work it was truly appreciated"
Annabelle Scott-Curry, Product Manager, Polydor Records
JUST THE JOB - EVENING STANDARD
Rachael Bee organised, promoted and fronted Respect at the Wag dub, which ran every Friday night from 1990 to 1993.
Her next success was Flipside on Saturday nights at Iceni club, 1993- 1997. She then worked as a producer and presenter at Kiss TV for two years. Earlier this year she set up her own company, Impact PR and Event Management, and now organises and fronts MTV's Lick parties, Channel 4's Flava parties and Faith with Jazzie B at Legends every Saturday.
She organised Heart and Soul at Mass in Brixton last Friday, a charity club night to raise money for the victims of the Brixton bomb.
Best moment:
" In May this year I organised a Lick party in Leeds; 4,500 people came and it ended up being the biggest R'n'B party this country has ever seen. It was a phenomenal feeling to see so many people having a great time and knowing I was behind it "
TIMEOUT
"I've done a lot of radio and TV but there ís something really special about clubs. The hit is so instant, the payback, seeing all those people having a great time and knowing that you've organised it is hugely satisfying. I love event organising."
All of which explains why Channel 4 came to her when they started parties linked to their Flava programme, and why she was the obvious person to co-ordinate Heart and Soul, an event in aid of the victims of the Brixton bombing.
