Press-junket craft across MAKSZ partnerships, bilingual EN/HU + EN/DE kits and the Son of Saul Oscar lineage
Here is how this works in practice. Unit publicity in Hungary is a discipline shaped by the MAKSZ (Magyarországi Reklámszövetség, the Hungarian Advertising Association) partnership network, the Hungarian press ecosystem spanning Magyar Nemzet, Népszava, Index.hu, 444.hu, HVG, Magyar Narancs and Filmtett. Plus the festival press-junket calendar that runs through Cannes in May, Berlinale in February, Hungarian Film Week in March, KAFF Kecskemét Animation Festival in June, BIDF (Budapest Global Documentary Festival), TIFF (Toronto Global Film Festival) and Sundance.
Here is the short of it. The unit publicists on our roster build EPK and press-kit assets in bilingual EN/HU and EN/DE formats. And tri-lingual EN/HU/FR for French co-productions and EN/HU/IT for Italian co-productions. Coordinate on-set photography that respects spoiler embargoes and talent likeness approvals through Magyar Színészek Szakszervezete (Hungarian Actors' Union) channels, run set-visit logistics for European and global entertainment press. We manage the social-media and influencer-partnership rollouts that align with NFI (National Film Institute) co-marketing plan where productions accessing the 30% TAO rebates engage in cultural-promotion obligations.
Here is the breakdown. On the ground, our Hungarian unit publicists carry credits across the lineage that includes Son of Saul (László Nemes, 2015 Best Foreign Language Film Oscar — the Hungarian press-junket benchmark), Sunset (László Nemes), Pieces of a Woman (Kornél Mundruczó, Netflix), White God (Kornél Mundruczó, Cannes Un Certain Regard winner). Plus the streaming-series press-junket pipeline including Witcher Netflix S3, Black Widow Marvel-Hungary blocks and the Foundation Apple TV+ Budapest unit. They set up festival press-junket logistics across Cannes, Berlinale, Hungarian Film Week, KAFF Kecskemét, BIDF, TIFF Toronto and Sundance.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. These cover travel, lodging at Four Seasons Gresham Palace, Aria Hotel Budapest, The St. Regis Budapest and Corinthia Budapest for visiting journalists. The bilingual translator pool that bridges English-speaking talent and Hungarian entertainment press. They handle the Hungarian state-TV networks M1, M2, M5 and Duna TV interview pipeline, manage the influencer and social-media rollouts that align with global studio publicity windows. Plus process the press-accreditation paperwork for set visits at Origo Studios, Korda Studios, Stern Filmstúdió and Mafilm Fót. We match publicists based on language profile, festival-junket experience, talent-tier discretion and prior Hungarian-production credits.
