According to Ms Graeff, “The digital landscape has transformed the marketing and advertising world.Today, the power to influence audiences doesn’t just belong to big companies with big budgets. Now a single individual can have an equal, and sometimes more powerful voice. It’s an exciting time, especially for musicians who in the past were often at the mercy of opportunistic record companies.”

Anyone who is interested in marketing themselves - especially individual musicians, bands, artists - will leave this presentation with a new perspective on marketing, especially on marketing themselves.
