Former [PIAS] Head of Digital PR launches new music and events PR agency COPACETIC

10 January 2017 - Press release

UK’s former Head of Digital PR, Lucius Yeo, has launched a new London – Singapore based creative comms agency, Copacetic, for artists, events and festivals specialising in print and online PR, blog and social/new media outreach and consultancy. 

Following 5 years at [PIAS] UK and over 12 years in the business, Lucius Yeo recently left his role as Head of Digital PR to launch the new venture. Previously responsible for digital PR activity across various [PIAS] divisions like Play It Again Sam, [PIAS] Cooperative and [PIAS] Artist and Label Services, he oversaw campaigns for Pixies, Soulwax, Agnes Obel, Ghostpoet, Raf Rundell (The 2 Bears), Black Sabbath, Dead Can Dance, Dinosaur JR, Holy Ghost!, Laurent Garnier, Motörhead, Tiga, Vessels, Vitalic and Violent Femmes. Prior to [PIAS], Lucius has managed PR campaigns for London venue XOYO, Camden Roundhouse Rising Festival, Atari Teenage Riot, Ash, Classixx, DeadMau5, Dirty Vegas, DJ Fresh, Eska, RAC and Young Fathers.

Based in East London, Copacetic will launch 2017 with campaigns for French fashion/music brand Kitsuné, DC electronic legends Thievery Corporation and two hotly tipped Swedish acts Djustin and The Legends, offering creative and strategic advice with a personal touch. In addition to London, Lucius will also base his operations in Singapore, an emerging cultural hotbed for new artists and festivals. 

Lucius Yeo commented: “The music scene in Singapore and the region is thriving, especially over the past few years. A lot of talented artists like Linying from Singapore and Yuna, Pharrell William’s protégé from Malaysia are making waves here, there is also a huge talent pool of new acts and festivals waiting to be discovered and I am looking to provide them with the opportunities to raise their brand here in the UK and introduce a new audience to their music.”
