1. Will you give us a complete market analysis like other firms? No. We’re not going to waste our time, or yours, producing a 35 page report full of ‘gobbledygook’ meant to do nothing more than sell you on working with us. We don’t need to tell you who your competition is, complete with pictures. You don’t need to see pie charts based on the ‘demographic make-up’ of the music your doing. Those market analysis reports are simply glorified sales pitches. You won’t get one from us. What you will get from us is hard work and an unbiased opinion based on your needs.
2. Why are you so focused on development and consultation? 90% of our job is answering questions. ”Should we take this deal?” “Should we use that studio?” “What do you know about so and so?”. 10% is actually PR and Publicity. You’ve got to be ready for PR and Publicity. And getting ready means Development and consultation. They are a crucial part of making sure you project the right image, have the right opportunities, and brand yourself accordingly. It’s not like you can’t change your mind and alter your image after the fact, you can, but it’s extremely important to try and get it right the first time. The words we hate the most are “it’ll do”. No, it won’t do – and many times you can do better. If you’re looking for a firm that simply waits for you to tell them what to do, “Send out a press release”, we’re not it. We’re the firm that makes sure you have all your ducks in a row first, so that when you do send out that release, it will matter.
