Myspace support, and all the best advice and research on cd pressing, touring, marketing, publicity, booking shows, management etc as well as support in long term distribution and touring strategies for artists based in New Zealand and Australia.
Please be aware of Services we DO NOT cover:
Whether we "like" your music or think you are "good" is not of issue. It's whether you're serious enough to be realistic about the investment and resources required to make your music a success. We provide promotions at a budget suitable to your experience in the industry. We do not provide feedback on song writing or execution.
All promotions should consider a Street campaign, an Online campaign and a Media campaign. Short of posting press kits out to those names we maintain on our media database, we do not conduct media liason/campaigning otherwise known as "publicity".
We would not consider bookings for any act not on our packages.

I'm Matt Turner, 28, born and raised in NZ, graduated from AUT with a Bachelor of Communications (Public Relations Management) in 2002. Since then I have been a DJ, worked in radio, run a record label, worked as promotions and booking agent for several bars and clubs and 2 and a half years ago I started Kurb Promo. Some months later started my first myspace account. I now have over 37 regular clients, 2 staff, and many, many myspace accounts.
Influences: Losing money on shows because you spent too much or too little on promo.

Putting an album out that no one wants to buy because no ones ever heard of you.

Touring nationwide 5 times, losing money every time . . . and learning to keep your receipts and fill out a rebate.

Going with what you know will work. Not what you think will work. Or what you would like to work.
Sounds Like: You do.

Do you like my magic dots?

. . . . . . . . . .

Kurb clients get great search rankings. I'm full of bright ideas.
Record Label: Unsigned
