We are a full service, cause-oriented, entertainment company that brings years of experience working with artists, record labels, brands, media and management companies.

ARTIST MANAGEMENT

We provide artist management for those talented recordingartists who are ready for major label presentation. To make our Artist Management clearer, let's apply symbolic interactionism. From a symbolic interactionist perspective, we create our own success in the music industry. That is, because our music doesn't come with built-in guarantees, we interpret our situations, and act accordingly. As we do so, we create a sort of self-fulfilling prophecy. The folk-saying "There are no guarantees in life" is certainly true, but it does help to have a vision that a successful partnership is possible and that it is worth the effort to achieve.

BUSINESS PLAN

This important document will set out the basic idea underlying your venture and related start-up considerations. Most activity started without adequate preparation tends to be haphazard. In the words of Thomas Carlyle, the Scottish mathematician and writer, "Nothing is more terrible than activity without insight." This is particularly true of such a complex process as initiating an entertainment venture. Although planning is a mental process, it must go beyond the realm of speculation. Thinking about a proposed endeavor must become more thorough as rough ideas come together. Thus, a written plan helps to ensure systematic, complete coverage of the important factors to be considered in conducting a venture. By identifying the variables that can affect the success or failure of the endeavor, the business plan becomes a model that helps you and any employees focus on important issues and activities for the venture. Allow a true professional to customize a business plan for you.

MARKETING PLAN

A survey recently reminded us just how little time musicians actually spend preparing their business model and marketing plan when it’s time to coordinate their promotions with a product release. Almost 90% of musicians say they give it a lot of consideration, but almost half (48%) of those who say they’re responsible for the planning spend less than 30 minutes on the task. More musicians say they understand calculus better than their marketing plan. How crazy is that? Your enterprise demands a results-oriented plan that focuses your efforts on the key activities underlying your venture. Through innovative plans such as an Uplifted Marketing Plan, we can help you save time and money by clarifying your goals and focusing your activities. Plus, upon completion, your custom Uplifted Marketing Plan will be ready for investor presentation.
