ABOUT ANDERSON PR

Know more about me

Pamela heads Anderson PR, with leading clients including 20th Century Fox, BBC, Sky, ITV, Discovery, Channel 10 Australia, Modern Television, betty, James Grant Management and the Alzheimer's Society; plus headline talent such as Dawn French, Emilia Fox, Iain Glenn (Delicious - Sky One); Suranne Jones, Lennie James (Save Me - Sky Atlantic); The Last Dragonslayer (Ricky Tomlinson, Pauline Collins, Richard E. Grant - Sky One); Idris Elba (Guerrilla - Sky Atlantic); Jude Law (The Young Pope - Sky Atlantic); Kiefer Sutherland and Mary Lynn Rajskaub (24: Live Another Day); George Clooney (Downton Abbey for ITV Text Santa); Cheryl Cole, Phillip Schofield, Ant & Dec (ITV Text Santa); Paul O'Grady (The Sally Army & Me - BBC); Richard Hammond (Sky One); AC/DC's Brian Johnson (Cars That Rock, Quest Channel) and Ricky Ponting (Channel 10, Australia).

Anderson PR launched in January 2012, following Pamela's career as a Senior Publicist in BBC Entertainment & Comedy, working on Eurovision, Parkinson, BAFTA Film & TV Awards & Strictly Come Dancing; and ITV where she was Publicity Editor for Carlton Television.

In 2012 Pamela created Anderson PR, and left the BBC. Media Guardian – the UK media industry’s leading newspaper – wrote: “Her highlights during her time at the corporation surely include being escorted arm-in-arm around BBC Television Centre by Sir Paul McCartney as he bragged to everyone that he was ‘going out with Pamela Anderson’. Not to mention appearing on the BBC News channel when she was picked up by Rory Bremner and twirled around on the red carpet launch for this year's Strictly Come Dancing. Pam's current shows include the forthcoming Christmas episode of Absolutely Fabulous – a fitting title for her BBC career.”

As Senior Publicist for prime-time shows on BBC ONE, plus controversial shows across BBC TWO and BBC THREE, Pamela has worked with some of the biggest names in the business, including Sir Michael Parkinson, Graham Norton, Armando Iannucci, Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber, Ricky Gervais, Nigel Lythgoe and Dame Judy Dench. Pamela’s TV career began at Granada, Manchester, where she helped compile the successful bid for the ITV licence in 1991. She then was part of the launch team of Carlton Television, establishing the press office and managing a raft of new TV talent including Kristen Scott-Thomas and Adrian Dunbar.
