Publicist? How to Maximize Your Client's Coverage at All About Jazz

All About Jazz was part of the 2012 APAP JazzConnect track and participated in the "Platforms That Move Jazz Forward" session. One clear takeaway for me was learning that some publicists don't fully understand how to use All About Jazz to positively impact a client's promotional campaign. I also learned that some publicists are unfamiliar with our services, while yet others greatly underestimate our reach.

This handy how-to guide should clarify All About Jazz's value, while giving a publicist a snapshot of our promotional assets and how our platform (the most advanced in the field of online jazz) can serve you and your clients.

All About Jazz's reach and relevance makes it the top jazz music website in the world, and leveraging it for your client's campaign is good business.

Submit a full length MP3 for "track of the day" consideration;

Editorial Coverage Consideration
