| Welcome, music maker/promoter/lover, to Mod Media
Publicity. Mod Media is in the business of promoting and
publicizing CD releases and touring acts in a variety of
popular music genres. Mod Media's business is the business of
the print and internet media: national and regional magazines,
daily newspapers, weeklies, trade publications, 'zines, and all
web-based music media. Mod Media does not promote any of our
artists to radio, with the exception of National Public Radio.
Our chosen territory is the United States and Canada. The music
that we generally work with includes all sorts of contemporary
rock and indie rock, industrial, electronic dance music, avant
garde/experimental, spoken word and roots/Americana.
Mod Media is run out of the lively and historical town of Tucson, AZ. Sitting here at my desk, I spend my days on the telephone and internet, making calls and sending e-mails. My professional life is all about this: securing interviews, profiles and CD reviews for artists that I'm working with; securing previews, interviews and reviews for artists that are on tour. This is what I've been doing for many years now; it's a good thing that I like to talk on the phone. But things are changing at Mod Media, hence the website. After years of working as a publicist (see "History"), amassing experience and contacts, I'm now ready to share the wealth of knowledge with others. Perhaps it's a desire to move in new directions, perhaps it's my observation that consultants seem to attract the highest income with the least amount of work, but Mod Media is expanding into the area of consulting. Simply put, I want to tell you how to do what I do. And I want to help you get started, if started is what you want to get. So, although Mod Media can still be hired straight-up to work a CD or tour, the business is evolving into a more multi-faceted enterprise. To this end, Mod Media is now ready to offer a three-tired array of tools and advice to help a nascent publicist, band or small label get started in the field of popular music publicity (see "Product"). Please look this over if you are interested in promoting your own work or the work of others. I urge you to take a look through the various parts of the website--the History, Artists, What's Cooking and Links--and see if you feel that Mod Media has something to offer you. If so, please contact me directly via telephone at 520-622-6313 (keeping in mind that I'm on west coast time,) mail at 437 S. El Paso Ave., Tucson, AZ, 85701-2221, or e-mail at modmedia@theriver.com. Yours in media, Carl Hanni/Mod Media |
