Seán O’Keefe Joins Absolute

Absolute announces the addition of Seán O’Keefe as its new PR and marketing manager. 

Having previously spent three years at leading edit house, Stitch, as their head of PR and sales, Seán has worked on projects from across the UK, US and Europe. Collaborating with global brands such as Nike, Apple and Samsung, he has also worked on creative ventures, ranging from BAFTA nominated short films to music videos for artists like Harry Styles and Stormzy. 

During his time at Stitch, Seán was responsible for running the renowned ‘Yarns’ short film competition. A not-for-profit scheme that launches the careers of under-represented directors, his tenure saw the production of eight short films, selections at BAFTA qualifying festivals, and directors signed permanently to production companies such as Blink.

“We are thrilled to have Seán onboard” said Chris Batten, managing director at Absolute. “We knew he’d be a great fit for the team, but his insights into both the editorial world and emerging directors market will make him invaluable as we continue to grow our roster. What was immediately obvious was his passion for the job, and we can’t wait to see what new ideas he will bring. It’s the latest appointment in what is set to be a really exciting chapter for the whole business.”

“I’ve been an admirer of Absolute for a long time,” said Seán. “The talent they have across the board is amazing, and they’ve been known for having one of the best PR teams in the business for years now. So, when they reached out with an opportunity to join, it was a real compliment. It’s such an exciting time to join the company, and with this many fascinating projects, I can’t wait to start making my mark.”
