Why bother with publicity?
In a nutshell, publicity such as newspaper editorial or a radio interview is free, influential and can reach tens of thousands of people. It’s invaluable if you have a tight (or no) marketing and promotional budget and lends you and your project credibility. Good publicity can build your reputation and ideally provide opportunities for growth through greater attendance at your event or show, increased awareness of what you do and higher sales of tickets, CDs, books, artworks and more.
