Music PR Tips

• Have something new to pitch – music, tour
• Look for new angles to pitch
• Pitch to media and outlets outside of the music industry
• Start by pitching local media

Artist Branding

• Your brand must be cohesive across all platforms
• Lack of cohesiveness makes people question who you are as an artist
• Find your lane. Find what works for you.
• Don’t try to be someone that you’re not

Determining Who Makes Up Your Audience

• Social media numbers can be deceiving
• Look at the people who are coming to your shows
• Get out and talk to your audience
• Ask how they found out about you

Using Music PR to Amplify What You’re Doing on Tour

• Creates a buzz and make people aware that you’re playing a show
• Helps grow interest with people that have never heard of you
• Make sure that your event is listed in event calendars
• Newsletters can be really helpful for new artists to keep fans engaged
