Publicity starts your artist identity. 

Learn how to hack your own PR to build your artist profile. 

Get critical acclaim and snowball your music career.

Guest: Erica Campbell (US Features Editor of NME)


During this workshop, you'll learn:

  • Build an artist profile that gets traction

  • Get insights from PR & Publicity experts

  • What makes a pitch work in 2023.


Is Music PR over?

When people tell me music PR is useless, it makes me think of 2006 blogosphere. 

If you came of age when Pitchfork made careers. Hipster Runoff told you what was out and your Top 10 Myspace **mattered** then expecting this in a 2023 internet aint it. 

A feature on a Spotify editorial playlist or a viral TikTok video will give you more streams than a 8.0 on Pitchfork. 

However, what that playlist placement will not do is tell your story. 

Music PR’s role has changed. It still holds a spot on your 2023 music promotion plan.

In this session, hear NME features editor Erica Campbell drop gems on:

  • How to attract critical acclaim

  • Land your dream feature 

  • Get music media to stop sleeping on your music
