For his brilliant JazzFuel website, Matt Fripp has conducted insightful Q&As with a number of successful and forward thinking professionals from the Jazz community. He is focusing on the business behind the music and the huge demand for help to self promote and navigate the tricky and overwhelming straights of social media, digital communications, agency and label liaisons, marketing and PR, while not neglecting the music and the creative space that’s needed to grow as an artist.
When I was asked to contribute with some of my own takes on our industry, I was very flattered. Here’s the nadworks perspective on JazzFuel’s 10 questions around digital marketing, web promotion and fan reach via social media…
A successful website should never be a one way street of self promotion; it must always be a value exchange.
