About Sunrise Promotions
Sunrise Promotions was born when web developer and online community coordinator Robin Bunch felt a need for better promotional solutions for musical acts. She has a B.S. in Advertising with a minor in marketing and felt she could apply her knowledge and experience to music promotions and marketing.
Sunrise understands that in order for online promotions to work effectively, a relationship must be established not only with the client, but also with the client's audience and fans. This is the key to getting the most out of promotions and this is what makes Sunrise different.
At Sunrise, we understand the dynamics of the online world and seek to foster positive communities that will create the best form of advertising available: word of mouth. This is our specialty and we can make it work for you.
We also understand the relationship between a musical act and its fans and can help secure that relationship as well as use it to work in the acts' favor. Fans are the cornerstone of the music industry and we treat them as such. Sunrise embeds itself in its communities and works with the fans in order to promote the artists we represent.
Our Services:
FAN CORPS
Fan Corps Street Teams are Sunrise's version of the online street team. It's a community built for fans who want to be a part of an artist's success and gives those fans all of the tools they need to promote the artist. Our street teams are grassroots marketing at its finest and has proven important in an artist's success. more info...
FAN CONNECT
Fan Connect is our basic grassroots marketing and promotions package. It's a way to interact with your fans without the expense of organizing an online street team or using our Fan Corps. From online mailing lists to message boards and MySpace, we'll make sure your online fan market is connected to you. more info...
WEBSITE DEVELOPMENT
The very first thing an artist should consider is their website and domain name. We can give you a well-designed, user-friendly website that will reach out to all of your fans and give you a home on the internet that's completely owned by you. more info...
EXPOSURE P.R./ONLINE MARKETING
The internet has completely changed the way people get not only their music, but also information on music. Exposure P.R. and Online Marketing gives you a way to reach out to a new audience and get you exposure that offline p.r. can't give you. more info...

Josh Kelley is #11 on iTunes
We are proud to say that Josh Kelley's new album "Special Company" is now #11 on the iTunes charts. It is also #2 (right under one of my faves... Radiohead) under the alternative charts.
We are so proud of Josh and his fans and really excited to see so many people taking an interest in his music.
If you'd like to purchase the album and hear it for yourself, it's available here:

The Generational Divide in Copyright Morality
Great article from David Pogue at the New York Times:

The State of the Industry (An Overdue Blog)
It's been a month or so since I've blogged, but so much is going on with the music industry, it's almost hard to keep up with. Things are rapidly changing: musicians are giving away their music for free or letting artists name their own price, major players in the industry are going indie and speaking out against major labels, the major labels are suffering massive lay-offs and firings and WMG's stock is down to about $6 a share.
Not that we're surprised - we've seen this revolution coming for awhile now. And it's wonderful and terrifying and scary.
Now the important thing is to figure out where the artist stands in this world, especially the independent artist. Now, I'm not talking about guys like Radiohead and Nine Inch Nails. But guys and girls more like who we work with.
Where is the future? How will a musician make a living in 2008? Are things better or worse?
Looking forward to hearing your comments.
I'm now off to go celebrate this Christmas thing and wait patiently for the new Doctor Who Christmas special to appear on one of my Torrent programs (it airs on the 25th in the UK, so hopefully that means I'll have it by the 26th). Hey, don't judge me - we don't get the Christmas specials here in the U.S. That's not MY fault!
I'll also admit to downloading music for free, too. But that's usually to check it out first. If I like it, I generally end up buying it. I think that might be indicative of most music listeners these days. Maybe this is why I think streaming music is so important (speaking of which, what do you all think of Universal cutting their music streaming on MySpace to only 90 second clips? I think it's ridiculous....)
On a final note, a big congratulations to Josh Kelley (one of our clients) on his upcoming nuptials to Katherine Heigl. We'll also be promoting the new album soon, but if you want to a copy of it early on, you can always find it here for pre-ordering. You'll get an extra track if you pre-purchase, too - what's better than that?
