Free Pizza & Beer? Promoting Your Music On Campus
For today’s college student, music discovery is everywhere. Between sharing streaming playlists, listening to the school radio station, catching a show in the student union or simply walking around campus, there are an almost endless number of ways students are consuming music. With so many opportunities for discovery on campus and off, how do you break through the noise to convert students into fans? With the rise of engaging online platforms, the increasing relevance of college media and the opportunities for curated music events, posting a flyer in the campus quad is no longer the only answer. Join this panel to discuss how artists/labels/brands are using today’s tools to reach students.
