Gillian Porter Interview
Hall or Nothing Music PR in London
The music industry is very different now than it used to be
Very online - social media and websites
PR isn't even quite PR anymore, its very much to do with marketing and promoting through facebook and twitter
Almost impossible to get into
What have I done that makes me stand out?
Why chose me?
Take initiative, do things for yourself
Actions:
Get in touch with online websites and magazines to find out how they work
Research local writers and websites and make some connections
Do they want someone to review and offer services
Use my band as a lever and outlet (sadly the band is no more)
CONNECTIONS - reach out - who am I talking to
Who would I like to work for?
What magazines would I want to work for? (read some magazines)
Get into PR through contacts and luck
Traineeships are a good idea... will take a while before earning though
THIS INTERVIEW REALLY STRESSED ME OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe I don't want to do things in the music industry?
Maybe I just want music as a passion but have a separate job?
My band is breaking up and it very difficult trying to get into the industry without being in a band. Need to find another band!
Want to take a gap year and travel and experience lots of things. Maybe not worth stressing about the bigger picture now as my ideals might have changed/developed in a year and I may have found direction/had space.
Want to do music related things on my gap year, lots of little bits and experiences where I will meet people and be around the world and gain more physical direct experience that I already have.
Think I want to focus on planning smaller things for a while that excite me and are music related rather than stressing about the bigger picture right now.
