In this podcast short Russ Hughes explores how audio professionals can get ahead in marketing. "I remember being on Zoom call with some of the most respected names in music production some time ago. I was talking about marketing strategies to help them get new clients and to grow their businesses. As we went through the Q&A time and the session drew to a close one of them said; âWhat we really want is for you to do this for us!â They werenât joking, they all knew how important marketing is, but all hate the thought of doing it.
If thatâs you, then hereâs my attempt at helping those of you who want to get ahead in audio when you hate the thought of marketing."
