About
Us
About
WDW is an independent communications agency working exclusively in entertainment and arts. Specialising in campaigns to publicise television, film, theatre, games and awards projects, as well as expertise in crisis comms, we partner with some of the most culturally influential entertainment brands in the world.
We are a publicity driven team with proficiency in producing events and red carpet media management, as well as stunt activations.
We have a specialist documentary team who have a track record of successful release, awards and impact campaigns.
Collaborating with creatives from across Europe, we also work to develop and fund film projects. For two years we ran The Female Film Force, an ambitious initiative to support women working in film. We funded and produced ten short films that have had 80+ festival screenings worldwide. In 2021 we launched the Netflix Documentary Talent Fund - a project to support emerging filmmakers from across the UK and to nurture the most innovative and creative minds of the future.
Philosophy
We believe in the power of arts and culture to bring people closer and make a more interesting world. We partner with our clients to help them reach broader audiences, build deeper relationships and ultimately leave their mark on culture.
Approach
WDW’s three founders each have a lifelong connection with the arts and culture, and this shared experience and passion was the impetus behind the establishment of the agency.
We are a nimble team by design so we can be in immediate proximity to the work, ensuring a personable approach. Working as an extension of our client teams, means we can be more flexible and have greater impact.

Launch
WDW launched Disney+ in the UK in March 2020. Disney’s streaming service is made up of globally renowned brands: Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic and entertainment brand Star.
The TV team targeted a wide range of media to educate and build positive stories around the launch and to ensure a sustained presence on the entertainment pages and beyond.
We continue to work with the Disney+ in-house team, as well as key stakeholders from across the five brands. We run the day-to-day press office, manage publicity campaigns, including acclaimed TV series Dopesick and The Mandalorian, and provide strategic counsel for the streaming platform.
