London: 14 September 2008 Premiere organised by DDA Public Relations. www.lsq.tv for all premieres. A lovely late summer Sunday afternoon in the Square. The strong sunlight pierces my eyes as I turn the camera along the red carpet to glimpse two of cinemas icons; De Niro and Pacino, coming towards me. Pinch me. Can you believe it? Thirteen years since theyve appeared together and here they are in front of me. Pacino arrived first and spend more time with fans and media. De Niro too made sure a good number of the screamers got signed but he ran out of signing power before he got to our end. One nice story. A very talented painter* had done two super portraits one of each of the stars and he got them both signed by their subject. Hell be walking on air. Another fan had Pacino sign his Raging Bull CD an offer a smiling Al couldnt refuse.

November 27th, 2008 marks the first anniversary of Leicester Square Television. So I've decided to highlight some of the best moments.
One of the most popular Premieres was St Trinians, Russell Brand and all. The main LSQ clip (which has had over 23,000 hits) can be found by going to this link and here's the "fan-cam" footage (which has reached over 63,000 hits on You Tube). My co-presenterClaire Bueno was on the red carpet with me on that chilly night.
Has to be Director Tom from the States. It's funny, full of good stuff and if you're into corporate video, you'll love it. I enjoyed reading his personal branding blog post. Read it for yourself here.
More and more companies and organisations are looking to use video in some form or another to promote their products and services. Soon, the brands will also have their own Web TV channels. It will really take off when IPTVbecomes readily available. At LSQ TV, we're excited by the prospect.
...............has to be the new offering from my colleagues at Leicester Square Television. Their blog highlights the previous premieres in Leicester Square together with other events in and around the area. Claire and I continue to be fortunate in presenting the best from London's West End which is set to continue unabatted throughout the year. Do you realise that I'll have to present, along with my fellow presenters, something in the region of 150 Premiers this year. That excludes the theatre and restaurant reviews we'll be involved with. Details of forthcoming film premieres can be found at Premier Hub. One celeb presenter I was hoping to catch up with last Thursday at the opening of "Make me a Song" was Myleene Klass. Unfortunately she was unable to make the event at the New Players Theatre.
Today, March 9th, in Leicester Square, there's a just preview for 10000 BC. So no red carpet! But of course, there will be plenty of glitz and glamour at The Cannes Film Festival in a few weeks time. Question is, will Jeremy Jacobs and Claire Bueno be presenting from the Croisette?
The only man other than Humphrey Bogart to win back to back Oscars - Tom Hanks proved that premieres are much like a box of chocolates - you don't quite know what you're gonna get - as Forest Gump might say. It was a chill and rain-free evening as the fans felt the buzz of anticipation about Tom's appearance tonight; would he sign and pose? - he's notably frugal with the autographs. He did sign some, yet only a few - my friend in the fanline missed out because a professional hunter got his picture in front lightning quick. Director Mike Nichols signed with the fans and remarked the cancelled Golden Globes meant he was a double winner because not only would he be spared the pain of attending, any award would be delivered in the mail! Also there was Tara Palmer-Tomkinson who's always happy to spend time with the folks who travelled from as far as New York and Berlin to be here.

If the rumours turn out to be true Girls Aloud may break up this year. Pity they seemed quite together at the recent premiere of St Trinians. See here.
"This shows he's got great intelligence" Alvin Martin, talkSPORT
Jeremy is reliable and genuine, his manner and attitude has ensured excellent results on several events. I would have no hesitation in using him or recommending his services to others. Daniel Rix, MD, Specialist Speakers
Thank you for your professionalism. David Hines, MD,Videotile
Jeremy is the consummate professional. His clear and articulate style coupled with a dry sense of humour give him a unique broadcasting persona. He also has an apparent natural ability to ask pertinent questions in a conversational approach, particularly in his audio interviews. Steve Wells, Director, Informing Choices
I met Jeremy about two years ago and enjoyed many coffees with him. He is one of life's connectors and understands the importance of sharing contacts and opportunities. He is amusing and passionate about what he does which are great attributes for his chosen career. Ruth Simmons, Soundlounge
I was a guest on 'PressPlay', the excellent radio show on JCom radio hosted by the superb Jeremy Jacobs. I was talking about all kinds of stuff - my books, music, how far you live from your mum (yes, YOU) Joe Craig, Author
What they say about Jeremy on the Internet, Facebook and Twitter
Always entertaining, Jeremy provides an interesting mix of the practical, personal, humorous and political on his blog. He has a keen eye for talented bloggers and shares his thoughts freely. All this and reports from Margate FC, what more could you want? Colin Campbell You're a pro. Wonderful stuff...... Simon Ellinas Just a couple of months back, the presenter and public speaker Jeremy Jacobs didn't have a blog. Now, he has a vibrant, well designed, readable and interesting blog that is clearly attracting readers. In the time he has been writing his blog, his web site has risen over one million places in the Alexa rankings. Equally he is reaching more people with a substantial 300% increase. This just shows the power of blogging. Jeremy's site is a great example of what you can achieve - follow his example and you will clearly do well. In short, set up a blog, start writing and see your web site's popularity increase substantially and quickly. Graham Jones - Internet Psychologist
Well, Jeremy you’re right I think you’re swell!Tisha
Jeremy Jacobs' blog is a fascinating mix of presenting, media, politics and humour. He writes with verve, irony and a dry wit. His presenting posts are always interesting to those of us who know absolutely nothing about it, but all of his posts are engaging and well worth a read.
Jeremy Jacobs is taking action in response to tragedy and sorrow. If more of us had this sort of courage and commitment the world would be a better place: I urge you to see this and take part in your own way. Cityunslicker
Jeremy, I've got to try and get around the blogosphere as much as you do. It seems like everyone with a blog knows you. Daily Referendum
Corporate Presenter Here Jeremy Jacobs delivers his entertaining and insightful views on everything from politics to incompetent drivers with razor-sharp wit. But there is a serious side: Jeremy is a “doer” and this week he embarks on a Masaai Trek to raise money for the Breast Cancer Campaign. Jeremy lost his sister to the disease and has written movingly about this. I am full of admiration for someone who gets up and does something for a cause close to his heart and I’m sure we all wish Jeremy luck. Welshcakes Limoncello
