Some of our favorite people on the planet are taking over Haulix LIVE! later this month for an exciting (and free) music publicity panel.
If there is anything to learn from the age of COVID-19, aside from the need for personal hygiene, it is the importance of connection. Human beings are not meant to live in isolation. We need relationships as much as we need air in our lungs and water in our cups. Friendships are the key to everything, including happiness and success, which explains why these long periods without human interaction are so tricky. Haulix LIVE! is not a perfect solution, but it has the potential to keep us connected until life as we knew it resumes.
Join us on Thursday, September 17, at 2 PM EST for a free PR roundtable with three members of the Big Picture Media Team. Representing the company will be founder Dayna Ghiraldi-Travers, along with publicists Kirsten Horner and Natalie Schaffer. The event will cover the state of music PR today, emerging trends in music publicity, and advice for people hoping to work in the field. Viewers will also have an opportunity to ask our guests questions.
The event is free, but attendees must register in advance to ask questions. Click here to RSVP TODAY!
