Hello guys 'n'... well mostly guys...
Today i would like to talk about what might be the most overlooked subject on the forum - Advertising.
I know some of you own studios, and some of you work as freelance AEs, and being at the point where i'm my own studio iv'e just started to grasp how important advertising really is!
so let's get a few things clear before we start to discuss:
1. word of mouth is unquestionably the best advertisement you can get, yet it's also the slowest.
2. even a bad AE that knows how to advertise well will find work, at least for a while IMO.
3. even the best AE that doesn't know how to advertise won't find work IMO.
at the moment, i'm throwing open jam sessions at the studio, using FB ads, hanging posters/stickers and of course running a FB page and website, but as i don't personally know any established AE, i'm very curious as to how other people are approaching the task of advertising themselves/studio?
other than than, what tips/tricks can you guys share about the subject?
i suppose almost no one here is from the same area so i don't think there's anything to hide.
