As a qualified and very experienced PR professional, I’ve been shocked by some of the things I’ve seen claiming to be ‘specialist music PR’.
There are of course some great PR and marketing consultants in the music industry. But there are also many that are not so good, and I’m sad to see so many up and coming artists paying huge sums of money for poor workmanship. That is why Precision PR now offers PR and marketing services and consultancy designed specifically for musicians and music industry brands
Prices
