SHOW OFF SERVICES

About Me


WHAT WE DO
Show Off Services utilizes a unique mixture of traditional PR and industry methods combined with an atypical affinity for relationship marketing and digital know-how to superbly satisfy your music project’s needs.
S.O.S. relies on a small, but exceptionally gifted pool of individuals with varied skills bases, and one major commonality, an obsession for independently minded music. Not only does this enable proactive campaigns specifically tailored to fulfill your short and long term goals, but S.O.S. prides itself on exceeding expectations and offering artists & reps reassurance, security and a profound learning experience.
S.O.S. focuses on relationships: artists and their audience, music and its avenues for exposure, and most importantly, S.O.S. embraces the debate of creativity vs. business; we put you in the driver seat, with our hands firmly on the map.
Recent successes for S.O.S. include: JJJ airplay for a newly emerging artist; launching a complete unique digital distribution offering on behalf of an artist; systemizing and improving an independent record label’s PR campaigns, but our proudest achievement has been empowering artists and music businesses with the knowledge and know how to effectively market their music and connect with their current and future fans.
