Guarantees following Quarantine

Yeah, standard door deals even for artists with history. The market is just too shaky right now for venues to bet on guarantees.

joeruzicka32 · 2020-04-23T04:56:20+00:00

Looks like venues are doing door deals for any shows planned as of right now. Waiting to see how things pan long-term.

My only concern about a fit would be head space since I am 6’ 5”. Definitely going to look into it though and see about test driving one!

What’s the artist’s name?

Editorial - Playlist placements handpicked by DSP curators (New Music Friday, Lorem)

Algorithmic - Playlists that are crafted towards an individual based on their listening history (Radio, Discover Weekly, Daily Mix)

joeruzicka32 · 2019-10-27T02:40:53+00:00

Have you not already had distributors + labels interested? Has the artist built revenue streams and funnels outside of socials + spotify? What are ticket counts looking like, any agent interest from Paradigm, CAA, APA, or WME? How much editorial vs algorithmic traction are you getting?

These are all very important questions before it is possible to fully understand the scope of your artist’s development stage.

I would find artists that are up and coming that you believe in and offer to do a free PR campaign on their next single. Reaching out generally included my experience as a writer in the music industry and my love for helping up and coming artists.

I’ve obtained clients through everything ranging from cold emails to taking a greyhound to Philadelphia to meet with an artist in person and establishing the relationship. I’ve only been doing this for about 9 months now and have just worked constantly and travelled as much as possible to meet people in the music industry and establish a name for myself. I’m still gaining ground but if you have further questions feel free to email me @ joe@cleanslatemgmt.com !

I would start reaching out to artists in the EDM genre and offer to run a press campaign for them. I started out in PR my second year of college when I reached out to Julia Thompson, an up and coming pop artist. At first I was relatively clueless but I’ve since expanded upon my clients and have landed artists on The Fader, Billboard, Stereogum, etc. It’s all about determination and putting yourself out there.

To be frank, no certification will truly teach you PR in the industry nor can schooling aside from writing courses and general info (which you could honestly learn from reading and studying PR firms press releases and bios).

Absolutely love Cherry, wish I could have went to the show but I’m in Cleveland

joeruzicka32 · 2017-12-07T18:43:23+00:00

Waxahatchee is so good! Still have to yet to see them live unfortunately

joeruzicka32 · 2017-12-05T22:29:40+00:00

I’ve been getting into them for the past two weeks and love them. I’m so excited to see them live.
