Magazine Memberships

In the vast marketplace of music, magazines remain one of the solid backbones of promotion, providing vital insight into bands which would otherwise be overlooked. Due to the influence of the Internet, there are many who fail to realize that a magazine, both online and in print, is still a potent resource for the so-called "underground" bands and record labels.

Magazine publishers also have promotional needs, although this is not acknowledged by much of the music world. Often a magazine is seen merely as a tool, and not as a resource or an art form having merit in its own right. Part of this is negligence is due to the mass media powerhouse magazines, who have all the contacts and little need for an actual relationship with the music world. This is a shortcoming that makes every other facet of the industry suffer. Why re-invent the wheel, struggling for contacts with bands? Why toil for expansion into a new market, when there is already someone who is doing all of this now? Instead, why not work together with us and let Draven's skills help you connect to remote areas of the music market, which you might otherwise lack the resources to tap?

To augment one area of the music world is to help every area of the music world. Together we can make a lasting impact on the industry, whereas, as individuals, we may only make small ripples in the vast sea which is home to all music.
