Turn your performing career into a profitable business today...

Unfortunately in today's marketing-led industry, if you are waiting to be 'discovered' you may be waiting a very long time - it is no longer a case of waiting for your agent to call, you NEED to do something. Whether you are a presenter, actor, singer or speciality act, these days onus is on YOU to let the world know you are ready willing and able to take your place centre stage.

After all, if you are not prepared to invest in promoting your product, your brand – YOU - how are you going to persuade anyone else to follow suit? All businesses advertise, publicise and promote. YOU are a ‘business’. If you do not treat yourself as such, then your act - your business - cannot grow.

Fortunately your initial investment in marketing doesn't have to involve a record industry sized budget. With a little financial input but a personal investment of time, creativity, commitment and dedication along with the knowledge you learn from these classes it shouldn't be too difficult to stand out from the crowd.

The session looks at the fundamentals of marketing yourself – why it is an important asset in the current climate. What should you be doing to help you achieve your goals and get your name known?

We will break down PR and Marketing for you and show how a better knowledge can help you individually as a performer in terms of self-publicity and the basic ‘How to’s’.

We will work on how you can achieve better results and how to promote yourself further and in the most effective way.

Armed with your own PR products we will look at how to make you more of a working ‘business’ rather than just an individual; how to make the most of your assets and marketing tools; and we will also look into the financial side of your career.
