Secret Service PR and Two Fish Out Of Water merge

Two leading music PR agencies, Paul Piticco’s Secret Service Public Relations and Stacey Piggott’s 15-year old Two Fish Out Of Water, have today merged under the Secret Service name.

Piggott will now lead their staff of five publicists, with offices in Sydney and Melbourne.

Piggott, long terms Drones international manager, published the book Blow Your Own Trumpet, a musician’s guide to publicity and airplay. Clients for Two Fish Out Of Water included the Falls Festivals, Henry Rollins, Neil Finn’s Pajama Club, Bon Iver, Seth Sentry, The Melbourne Zoo Twilight Series, the Hoodoo Gurus-curated Dig It Up and ATP’s I’ll Be Your Mirror.

She said of the merger, “Paul is an entrepreneur of the purest nature, and a pioneer at the forefront of so many areas of the industry. I have always admired and respected his creative and passionate approach, and the opportunity to join forces with Secret Service is something I am excited to embrace. We are looking forward to offering our current and future clients an extended family to service their needs.”

The changes also means the departure of Secret Service Public Relations and sister label Dew Process’s head of press and promotions for the past five years, Kathleen Hore. She is moving to a career outside the music industry.

Piticco said, “(Kathleen’s) work on Dew Process artist campaigns like Mumford and Sons and London Grammar of late has been masterful and I wish her all the best in new pursuits outside the music business.”
