Expedition PR announced today that Seed&Spark, the first end-to-end solution for independent films to fund, produce, and distribute their films using the power of the crowd, has named Expedition PR as its public relations and marketing partner.

Founded in 2009 and based in Brooklyn, NY, Expedition PR is a boutique agency that provides progressive communications programs designed for established and emerging global brands. The agency works with a mix of large and small businesses in the consumer tech and B2B sectors.

Expedition PR will work closely with the Seed&Spark leadership team to execute marketing communications activities that raise visibility for the innovative Seed&Spark platform and the fundraising campaigns it is housing to promote independent film projects. The program will include media relations, social media, and thought-leadership strategies. The companies will collaborate to assist independent filmmakers with using social media to engage with their audience early on. Together, they are developing best practices for building digital communities.

We're a young company at the intersection of two industries - film and technology - and Katja and her team helped us develop a clear story and delivered results starting day one, said Emily Best, Founder and CEO of Seed&Spark.

Seed&Spark is building a new ecosystem that restores independence to independent film, fueled by both filmmakers and film lovers. Seed&Spark Studio features a selection of fundraising campaigns for independent movie productions. Filmmakers can raise money using the Seed&Spark WishList; recruit for cast and crew; blog to keep the community updated; and gather all the supporters and followers together on one Community page. Also, the Seed&Spark Cinema offers a slate of ready-to-view films available for streaming, including award-winners from Sundance, SXSW, Tribeca, and more.

Expedition PR believes that technology is helping to pave the way for a sustainable future. Seed&Spark proves this concept.
