Following the outstanding
success of the How To Make
Money From Your Music series of seminars, the NZ Music Managers
Forum, with thanks to NZ On Air, Recorded Music NZ, APRA AMCOS NZ, Go Live
Festival and Dunedin & Christchurch Council Creative Communities Scheme,
are returning to Otago and Canterbury with the essential FREE Stage Two
seminar, How to Market and
Promote Your Music.
How musicians release and promote contemporary music has changed considerably
in the last couple of years, with an increased focus on digital platforms.
Over 70% of the New Zealand Music Industry income is generated from
streaming, but an artist faces stiff competition, against all other artists,
within the realms of the large worldwide digital stores. In order to cut
through the noise, artists now need to be active across many promotional
channels to drive awareness of their projects. With record labels signing
fewer artists direct, it is important that managers and musicians learn these
skills for the benefit of their independent releases.
This not-to-be-missed seminar will cover all avenues of releasing, marketing
and promoting music including the various ways to release a song, EP or album.
Distribution – digital and physical, publicity, bio’s, press releases, tips for
pitching to media, marketing, digital marketing, social media, playlists and radio
airplay will all be covered in this session.
MMF always delivers great
seminars the information is relevant and gives insight to what is required when
striving to become a successful New Zealand artist or band. The panel is always
giving and willing to impart wisdom, experience and knowledge enabling artists
to see the bigger picture when it comes to the music industry and what is
required from artists to further their careers. Love your work, Moone
