I came across this article in the New York Times; here’s a related article from the Herald Tribune. It’s great news for that they are ‘cutting out the middle man’ in terms of cutting costs, this won’t really impact very much on smaller labels.
If you’ve got money to burn, you might as well get Condé Nast to put together your multimillion dollar advertising campaign. But why pay for coverage when there are a hundred other ways to get noticed?
If your PR budget is tight you’re best off with the DIY approach and getting noticed through social media – PRcouture.com has an excellent guide to how to do this.
