Promoting Your Work
I have been doing quite a few promo campaigns for musicians recently, so thought I’d pop a some of that work into a blog post, to bring it together a little. It’s been FUN. Putting together visuals for a specific creative musical project or a promo campaign is very much a collaboration. From initial ideas, styles, and location; it’s completely a joint project, and I’ve been lucky enough to work with some brilliant creatives over the past year or so.

Creating promotional visuals to compliment a piece of music is so important , particularly in the world of social media. That beast likes to be fed, and apparently it can help with spreading the word when you have something you want to promote. I don’t know about you, but I stop scrolling when something catches my eye, so there’s definitely some truth in there… even if it can feel like a bit of a slog at times. Strong visuals can also help when reaching out to blogs and magazines, they want to see the faces behind the sounds, so having portraits that work well with your sound is a must. So much hard word goes into creating music, it would be a crying shame to not give it is best chance once it’s out in the world.
Interested?
If you’re looking to promote your own musical project sometime in the near future, I would love to chat to you! Please get in touch with me HERE . I work in both film and digital, and LOVE to experiment. So don’t be afraid to ask for something that might not be a standard portrait, that could be just the thing I’m desperate to create!
