February 4, 2008: San Francisco, CA – PRThatRocks.com, a leading entertainment industry public relations firm based in the San Francisco Bay Area, is proud to announce new affordable professional writing and public relations services for indie bands and labels. The services include press release and press kit critiquing, editing, writing, and targeted distribution, web site copywriting and editing, and publicity campaign and program development consulting. The various services are available at reasonable per-project fees and most projects can be turned around in as little as 24 to 48-hours.
Well-crafted and creative written promotional materials are as critical to a band's success as well-crafted and creative songs. While songwriters are incredibly gifted at writing passionate and moving lyrics, they usually struggle to develop professionally produced and compelling marketing and promotional materials. Eight out of ten bands will spend thousands of dollars producing a professionally recorded and packaged body of music, but they usually skimp on developing professionally written promotional and biographical materials.
PRThatRocks.com's president and founder, Christopher Buttner, states, “Professional marketing communications materials need to convey a strong, positive and convincing message, elicit an emotional response, and inspire or incite the reader to take action. I've seen the most talented and gifted bands undermine their best-laid strategic and long-range plans by trying to promote themselves with inferior, incoherent, and/or illegibly written business and promotional materials.”
Established in 1994, PRThatRocks.com dignifies, tailors, and targets the unique message of each client to help them improve their professional image and/or effectively acquire the most press coverage possible across the entire media spectrum. Several consultancy services can remedy a band or label's ailing publicity or promotional program for as little as $200.00, while other services include press release generation and distribution to 100 or more targeted and qualified media contacts for $500.00.
PRThatRocks.com has handled the press and publicity for some of the biggest names in the entertainment technology industry, such as award-winning musical instrument and recording equipment giants Peavey Electronics and Mackie Designs, recording studios including The Village Recorder, Beat Street NYC, and Sonoma Mountain Studio Estate, and Academy Award-winning soundtrack composers. PRThatRocks.com has also worked with members of, or represented, the biggest bands in the world, including Kid Rock, Rush, Sting, Matchbox 20, Dream Theater, Orgy, and even San Jose's #1 FM morning radio personality and 80's rocker Greg Kihn.
Christopher Buttner is a popular guest lecturer to San Francisco State University's "Publicity as a Profession" course, part of the College of Extended Learning's Music/Recording Business Program. In July 2007, PRThatRocks.com was featured in PRWeek Magazine, the publicity industry's leading trade publication, for its innovative campaign strategies.
