It is no accident that James
Bond used Motorola Radios to capture the villains, or that Emmy-winner
Teri Hatcher drives a Volvo in the hit television show, Desperate
Housewives. It is no coincidence that Charlie Sheen drinks Corona
Beer in his hit series Two and a Half Men, or that Jerry Seinfeld
wrote episodes around a Saab 900 for his Emmy-winning series.
For the past eighteen years,
Linda Swick, President of International Promotions (IP), has led
a team that represents corporate clients providing brand integrations
for their products in top-grossing feature films and primetime

productions worldwide, including Europe, Australia and Asia. Linda’s
team partners with major studios, to provide cross-promotional
marketing opportunities for their clients, such as the current
multi-million dollar success of the Volvo and Pirates of the Caribbean:
Dead Man’s Chest national promotion. IP has worked with
some of Hollywood’s most prominent directors and producers,
including Steven Spielberg and Kathleen Kennedy on “Jurassic
Park, The Lost World” where they launched Nextel’s
latest technology. In addition, IP’s innovative approach
to entertainment marketing also enticed both Ron Howard and then,
Bruce Willis to endorse one of their major clients in a promotional
video, which were directed by Ms. Swick.
After graduating from the
University of Southern California, Ms. Swick worked in casting
and helped discover talents such as Patrick Duffy and Mark Harmon.
She worked for a talent agent, representing Chuck Norris and Joe
