Industry Edition

NOTE: Information on this form is current as of December 2008 but is subject to change.  Please contact GWRN at geoff@geoffwilbur.com if you are interested in advertising.

Since 1993, local music fans have enjoyed reading local editions of the Geoff Wilbur's Renegade Newsletter. They have also earned the respect of industry insiders because of their professional layout and informative content. The respect the publisher has gained in his dealings with the music industry since 1989 also helped Geoff Wilbur's Renegade Newsletter launch its industry edition in 1994.

The "industry edition" is an edition devoted entirely to unsigned and indie bands. It is an attempt to help ambitious, unsigned bands get in touch with the very people who can help their careers. The informative, descriptive content and brief, quick-hit writing style have made the Geoff Wilbur's Renegade Newsletter industry edition a popular read among music industry professionals.

An ad in the industry edition reaches an industry mailing list of 200 people at record companies, management companies, and publicity firms plus 50 musicians.

Geoff Wilbur's Renegade Newsletter's publisher is an MBA who views his publication from a business perspective; there is no hidden agenda -- the publication's goal is to provide maximum benefit for its advertisers. And the industry edition is an effort by the publisher to help hard-working bands get the exposure they need and deserve. It interests the industry because it is a reputable publication that provides industry insiders with another way to find out about the top-notch, hard working bands they are searching for. An ad in the industry edition tells the music industry you're serious about your career and recognize the importance of advertising.

Because bands have limited finances, the industry edition is scheduled to be quarterly -- and a $75, 1/4 page ad size is the smallest size available for individual purchase. However, discounts (as well as smaller ad sizes) are available for those who purchase a full year of advertising (4 issues) in advance. For as little as $180 a year (one 1/9 page ad in each of four issues), you can keep your band's name in the minds of music industry insiders. You'll even save $60 per year off your 1/4 page ad when you pay for a full year in advance. These options will give you consistent, recurrent exposure that will help open even more doors as you approach the industry to pitch your band.

Please contact Geoff Wilbur's Renegade Newsletter to discuss whether or not the industry edition will be useful in your band's efforts to attract industry attention. The Geoff Wilbur's Renegade Newsletter industry edition could be a valuable part of your marketing plan!
