We pride ourselves on the ability to help our artists increase their fanbase size and establish a better connection between them and their audience. We have built a team of specialists in community building, fan engagement and content creation who work hand-in-hand with each artist to ensure the campaigns always stay true to their DNA while amplifying the message as much as possible. We will help create a customised social and community strategy across the most relevant social platforms and DSPs for each artist, and then assist in rolling it out. While creativity and authenticity is at the heart of our audience strategy, we always have one eye on data analysis to ensure we can track exactly what’s working. Our team also has a direct line of communication with all key platforms which ensures we are at the forefront of any new opportunities and best practice advice.
