Fifth House Ensemble joins the Department of Music students at the University of South Dakota for a virtual presentation - Personal Promotion on the Web and in the Real.

Tooting your own horn can be a challenge for many young artists, but it’s a necessary part of building a career. Two of the most powerful communication tools you will use as an emerging artist are striking photography and a bio that captures who you are. We’ll share tips and tricks or creating compelling images (whether you work with a professional or go DIY), workshop your artist bios, and discuss tools and strategies for combining these into effective print marketing materials. We then extend these materials into an engaging online presence, using a website as the centerpiece for a social media strategy across multiple platforms. We’ll share best practices for timing, content, and voice, and will also discuss how to build a network through face-to-face interactions.
