Sep 29, 2023

Yep, you read that right. We're offering our services for FREE to make one music video from start to finish.


If you'd like it to be you ... keep reading.


We've now done this for two years running and below you can see both winners. Anthony Hughes from 2022 and EM Kane from 2023.


Take a look and then scroll down to read more about the competition, how to enter and a little more about our approach to promoting your music.

What do you win?


Were offering to create one fully finished, high quality video for one new, original song.


The winner will be free to upload it anywhere and everywhere. We'll also create edits that work perfectly on social channels like Instagram, TikTok and Facebook.


We'll work with you to devise a concept, put together a pre-production plan and story boards. Then shoot, colour grade and edit your finished video.


We'll also be sharing the finished video on our social channels and this website.


But that's not all


We want to share the process.


We'll also be sharing the creative process on our social channels and you're welcome to do the same. Then all your fans will be able to follow us every step of the way as your video takes shape.


What's not on offer


This competition is to win our services to make you one music video. It does not include any additional expenses that may arise from production. Much of this will be determined by your ideas for the finished video and your budget. Making a music video can be as cheap or expensive as you want it to be.


Any location costs, travel, accommodation, hiring extra talent etc will not be covered. Obviously any budget needed for your video can be discussed during the pre-production process. We can make this as cheap (or not) as you like.


We made the videos for our last two winners with no extra costs. So getting a great video for zip is more than possible.

Last Thursday I woke up to some bad news. I was sitting having my morning coffee, I opened up my Instagram and got a message from the Meta gods. "Your account has been deactivated" Apparently, they thought I did something that went against community guidelines and if I disagreed with this decision I could appeal. So I appealed. Saturday morning I checked the account again and it was working normally, like nothing had happened. No explanation from Meta about what I may or may not have done wrong. So even though I’m none the wiser I learned a few things and if you rely on Instagram for your business you should probably be doing what I did next.

It doesn't matter what kind of business you run, if you're using social media to promote what you do you could be missing something important. Turning followers into fans. Independent musicians, in particular, are terrible at this. Many focus on the numbers and post endless videos of them performing either live or in a studio. To truly succeed you need to start talking with your followers and not just singing at them. Here I’m going explain why engagement is the key to generating fans and give you three ideas to help you start conversations with your followers.

Throughout the whole of 2024 we're doing something really special. We're donating 2,024 minutes of our time to help the future of the music industry. Why? Well it's because we're frustrated. Frustrated by seeing so many independent and unsigned musicians struggling to get their music heard and ultimately make a living from the music industry. Here's how you can get some of those minutes this year.
