Blog Features: Being featured on blogs is an essential step to increasing your overall online presence and influence, and is one of the best ways to increase your SEO (Search Engine Optimization) so that you appear higher in Google searches of
your name or your music. It is important to note that every blog feature is important, be it on a large or small website, as each and every piece of content
that exists online will work in your favor. Over the course of the campaign, we reached out to bloggers that feature Indie
Rock, Music Industry Tastemakers, and Music News. We targeted these
bloggers to expose you and your music to communities that exist outside of your
genre. The strength of your brand is greater when you can create a diverse but centralized fan base with your art.
Throughout this campaign, your music was featured on the following blogs:

Blog Feature Snapshot:

The Celebrity Café
This snapshot presents you with the impact music blog features have on your online presence and your tribe. While it is important for you to post consistent,
compelling content on your own page to build relationships with outside media makers, our goal was to help you get your foot in the door to other prominent
communities.

Your album, "You Shouldn’t Have to Shout So Loud," was launched in a giveaway contest by The Celebrity Café, which has almost 65,000 fans on
Facebook and about more than 15,500 followers on Twitter. This is another
major success for the campaign as you have just been exposed to a huge new community of people who are avid followers of experimental rock music.
Alexa Ranking: 17,690 (~ 2.5 million unique visits per month)
Alexa Rank is a metric that classifies the popularity of websites around the world.
We aim to find the websites with the largest reach to expand your audience and maximize the views to your features. As you can see, simply being featured on The Celebrity Café gives you a massive reach, exposing you to millions of new
viewers. And again, these numbers don’t take into account various forms of social sharing and archival that will expand your reach even more.

Podcasts & Internet Radio Stations As a digital presence becomes an increasingly important in the modern music
marketing strategy, Podcasts and Internet radio are replacing terrestrial radio as a major platform for music discovery.
Podcasts are a pre-recorded, episodic online radio program, and have become an incredibly popular format for music discovery. Not only do podcasts appear on the original poster’s website, but they can be uploaded to other websites, blogs
and music services like iTunes for free. Uploading podcasts to iTunes allows
anyone in the world to subscribe; a podcast subscription is an opt-in process that allows iTunes to automatically deliver each new episode of the podcast to your
iTunes library. Additionally, having your music uploaded and regularly played on Internet Radio
stations is an amazing way to continue to expand your reach to new potential fans on a long-term basis.
Throughout this campaign, your music was featured on the following podcasts and Internet radio stations:

Social Media Mentions, Engagement, and Uploads
Just like blog features, social media mentions and engagement from others are a critical component to the overall success of your digital music marketing strategy.
In other words, the more people talk about you, the more influential you will become. Online influence is the key to obtaining high-visibility in Google searches and will help you to get more blog features on even bigger sites. Also
note that the extent of the reach achieved in the features below does not account for the ‘Shares’, Retweets, or other forms of re-posting that can materialize by
posting your content to these platforms.
Here are the social media mentions and engagements we provided for you over the course of this campaign:

Would You Like to Continue? As we’ve mentioned, we are very pleased with the success of your pitching
campaign. Our pitching efforts on your behalf landed some fantastic features on some amazing sites that have gotten you incredible exposure. We’ve helped you get into the party, so now it’s your job to mingle.
We understand how time-consuming it can be to manage your social media
presence, which is why we offer this service to people who are feeling massively overwhelmed in this space. We have amazing Social Media Managers on staff who are available to take over your social media channels and come up with a content strategy to help push you to the forefront of your niche. You’ve done an
excellent job of maintaining this on your own, but if at any time in your future
career you run into time constraints, we would love to discuss working with you further in this capacity.
Again, having a functional and consistent online strategy is key to capitalizing on these feature placements that we’ve received for you. If a fan liked that they read
on a blog post or a song that they heard on a podcast, you want people to know that you are actively engaged in the online space and are worth following. This is why we would love to discuss working with you further at this capacity.
If you would like to continue working with us now, or in any time in the future,
