With such a broad portfolio of releases this year Sam will add an exciting dimension to our Marketing and PR plans.”

“Signature has carved a great reputation for itself in an incredibly short space of time. Joining Marc and the team in their plans for the future, both in film release strategy across all platforms and in growing the company is very exciting. I’m looking forward to bringing the skills and knowledge of marketing and publicity that I’ve gained from both the studio and independent sectors to the role,” added Ross.

Since it was established in Feb 2011, Signature has released over 75 titles into the UK marketplace.
