Everything Publicists Need From Musicians in 2022 [VIDEO]

Music publicists

Hiring a great music publicist can change the trajectory of your entire career, but only if you’re ready for them. We can help.

We’ve spent over a decade helping record labels, independent artists, and publicists worldwide share new music with influencers. We cannot tell you how many campaigns we’ve witnessed, but enough have come and gone that we feel confident in saying that we’ve seen nearly every variation of an album/single/tour rollout imaginable. If we have learned anything from this time, no two campaigns are alike, and most have no idea what they’re doing.

But we understand that the cause of this problem involves us. Like many other blogs and voices in music, we have spent decades telling artists to go independent. Many have listened to us, and quite a few have found success. Others, however, have tried to go it alone and wound up worse off than before. Why? The answer varies, but one thing is always true: The person behind the promotional campaign wasn’t up to the challenge of promoting new music/tour dates in the current industry landscape.

We believe in independent artists. We believe everyone should make the music that fulfills them, and we urge musicians to release music themselves whenever it makes sense. 

That said, we also believe in asking for the help you need. Adding a publicist or manager to your team at the right time can make all the difference in your career. But how do you know when you’re ready for something like that? Well, today we have an answer.

In the latest Music Biz update, host James Shotwell breaks down the key things every publicist is looking for when considering whether or not to work with a new client. These answers are pulled from conversations with music PR from the worlds of rock, pop, metal, and hip-hop. Their responses may not shock you, but they will ensure you are prepared to make a big impact with your next campaign. Check it out:

How To Hire A Music Publicist [Video]

Finding the right publicist for your next release is a challenge, but knowing what to ask can make all the difference.

Music publicity is one of the most challenging jobs in entertainment. Publicists work long hours to help artists cut through the noise and be heard. They go above and beyond daily to make sure their clients’ stories are heard, often in places that the artists themselves would never be able to reach, and they rarely receive the thanks they deserve. Music PR is, in many ways, the bridge between anonymity and stardom.

But finding the right publicist for your music can be challenging. Just because someone can promote a band or artist that makes music somewhat similar to yours does not mean they can do the same for you. Likewise, it’s possible someone who never worked with an artist like you could help you find new audiences. Others will promise you the world and deliver nothing. 

While we can’t make decisions for you, we can provide the tools you need to make the best choice for your career and wallet. In the latest Music Biz update, host James Shotwell walks through more than half a dozen questions every artist should ask a publicist before hiring them. These questions cover expectations, costs, and the publicist’s understanding of the project in question, among other things. Check it out:

Questions covered in the video above include:

  • Please tell me about my music (describe what it is you think I/we do)
  • How do you define a PR agency’s worth to a client?
  • What do you feel about your agency’s worth in the context of that answer?
  • What isn’t your job?
  • Why is your agency best suited to work this specific record for this specific band?
  • What kind of adjustments have you had to make since starting your own agency?
  • Can you provide a SWOT analysis of our project?
  • What is a story that needs to be told about this band and this record for it to achieve the most commercial success?
  • How do you prioritize clients?
  • This band is outside of the genre of your biggest acts. How do you make that into a strength?
  • What is the current rate for your services? Do you offer discounts on multi-month commitments as opposed to month-by-month payments?

Asking these questions can help you find the right person or team to help make your next release the success you deserve. Don’t hesitate to ask as many questions as you need to feel confident in your decision.

How to land your next job in music

Competition for work in the music business is at an all-time high, but there are still easy things you can do to stand out.

The music industry is experiencing a resurgence. As streaming continues to convert consumers to premium subscriptions and live music draws massive crowds in every corner of the world, the business that was troubled less than two decades back is now growing again. Companies are constantly on the lookout for new talent, and there are entire fields of music-related work that only recently began to emerge.

To become all it can be, the music industry needs talented professionals and aspiring professionals alike to come together. There is a need for open minded people ready to commit to forging the next era of the music business that is greater now than at any point in recent history. You can be a part of the generation that rebuilds the business of music, but you need to know now that getting hired won’t be easy. The competition is fierce, and every day there are new hopefuls entering the marketplace. Some have college degrees, while other cut their teeth on the open road supporting the bands that made them believe in the power of music. Still others are ambitious dreamers with no experience or higher education degree willing to do whatever it takes to succeed. 

No matter what your current standing is in terms of experience or education, there is always hope that you will find a place in the music business. There are hundreds of sites boasting thousands of tips for seeking employment, but not everything you read online will help you pursue a career in entertainment. The following tips, however, have proved successful for readers of this blog and many staffer at our company. Keep this advice in mind next time you’re applying for the job of your dreams:

You need a personal website. Yes, even you.

Success in music today relies heavily on branding and brand consistency, so it should come as no surprise that those in a position to hire new recruits often look at how applicants present themselves online. Maintaining a presence on social media is a good place to start, but most would agree that the way they present themselves on Twitter or Instagram isn’t the most professional version of themselves that exists. Instead of pushing people to those platforms, you should build a site of your own that showcases your best qualities to employers and industry peers. A personal site offers you the chance to share your story, contact information, and any other relevant data without any outside noise. It’s the one space where you and you alone will shine online, so make the most of it and make sure employers know how to find it.

Everyone has a story to tell, but keep it short

Resumes should, for the most part, be one-page or less. Storytelling is a huge part of music marketing and promotion today, but those who succeed in it the most are the ones able to convey a lot of essential information in a limited amount of time. The reason for that being the shrinking attention spans of humans, and that includes those tasked with hiring new employees. Hiring managers receives dozens and sometimes even hundreds of applications for a single role, which can severely limit the amount of time they can dedicate to a single submission. Make sure your application isn’t passed over by delivering as much relevant information as possible in the shortest amount of time. 

Resumes get shared. Cover letters get lost.

Any advice column for job seekers emphasizes the importance of cover letters in the application process. While it is true a great cover letter can get your foot in the door at a company, the likelihood everyone involved in hiring you reads that letter is incredibly low. When the number of applicants being considered is riddled down to 10 or less candidates, the only information being shared internally between hiring managers and higher ups is going to be resumes. That means you need to include any important information in your cover letter on your resume as well, such as your personal website link.

Networking matters. Always.

There is an old saying in the music business about how success is based on who you know rather than what you know. That idea may have been true at one point, but in today’s marketplace you need knowledge as much — if not more — than you need contacts. Still, it is important to engage with dialogues within the industry and to network with your peers whenever possible. If you think you may want to work for a company someday, take time to find someone with the role you want (or a similar one) and connect with them. You could ask to be their intern if such an opportunity exists, or you could ask how they got their job in the first place. Most people will reply, and many will be willing to help you on your journey.

Know when to hold your tongue.

Social media can be a blessing and a curse. On the one hand, Twitter and similar platforms allow us to share thoughts and ideas with the world at large almost as soon as they enter our minds. On the other hand, the things we post online can have a real world impact on our likelihood of finding employment. Never be afraid to speak your truth, but do think twice before slamming specific companies, people, and artists. You never know when the group you bash today could become the next act your dream workplace wants to recruit. You also never know when the music critic you slam for bad opinions will be working in publicist or management with the artists you love. 

Develop new skills. 

Everyone who wants to work in music has a dream job they hope to attain over the course of their career. Anyone working in music currently will tell you that, while those dreams are good to have, it may take some time to land the role you seek. The best way to navigate the business is to consistently work on developing skills the cater to the changing trends in the industry. You need to know how to do everything your dream role requires today, as well as the things it will require a year from now. You would also be wise to learn how careers related to that career function. Publicists should understand what managers and journalists do, for example, just like how record labels should understand how booking agencies function. Everyone in music is relying on everyone else in music to do their job well in order to get ahead. No job or company in this business is an island, so you might as well learn how other roles and companies operate because you never know where your talent will be the most useful.
