Today I am speaking with A&R rep, marketing consultant, and all-round legend, Matt Bacon. Starting out at 14 years old as a music journalist, he now consults with record labels such as Ripple Music, Prophecy Productions, Blacklight Media and Artoffact Records as well as Plastic Head and Your Mate Bookings.
In this episode, I’m chatting to Courtney LaPlante and Mike Stringer from metal band, Spiritbox.  We talk all about their branding and release strategy and how they were able to achieve epic results on a budget. All their videos have hundreds of thousands of views and as you’ll find out, many were filmed on an iPhone!
