CFP-E Welcomes Little Black Book

Feb 10, 2010 - 12:36 PM

LBB Online aims to cover 62 advertising and production centres by the end of the year, and, in 6 weeks we will launch a new site that will have new navigation (and a new look and branding). The basis is that the front page of each city will land directly on the production and post-production companies etc in that city and will send a user straight through to your directors reels.

We are keen to launch all CFP-E association cities by the Cannes Lions Advertising Festival in June, and are at present launching a new city every week. Paris, London, Prague are complete and we are working on all major cities Germany. Our aim is to help production companies across the globe and work with all associations to help market your members alongside your efforts. Our sponsorship allows all members a free listing (normally £149 per annum), so there will be no cost in this product to the members.

We will ask your members for local city content and ideas and suggestions on the best places to eat, drink and sleep in that city – which we have found is all important information people look for when visiting or shooing in a new city.

Take a look at our website on Little Black Book Official Website if you have any questions regarding LBB online then pelase dont hesitate to contact Matt Cooper on .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
