Change is good. To meet the evolving demands of the music industry we’re changing the way we do business. Creating and executing successful traditional publicity campaigns is increasingly challenging in the new media environment of this millennium, but that change has also created many more opportunities. While traditional public relations will always play a part in building awareness for an artist and/or project, we believe our music company needs to play a broader and more strategic role in artist development.
Ellis Creative was born of the desire to assist artists in their continual development in an ever changing and evolving world. We have the experience and skills to guide artists in their quest for more exposure to their music—live and recorded. We have successfully managed projects from conception to GRAMMY and everywhere in between by coloring outside the lines and continually reinventing the way we introduce our artists to music lovers.
We also believe in the importance of creating new artistic assets for the greater good of society. We will strive to publish and release several creative projects each year within Ellis Creative and also under the umbrella of American Roots Publishing.
All of our creative endeavors will be available for sale at our website store and in fine retail outlets across the country. We will continue to strive to partner with other independent businesses, which complement our creative goals.
Ellis Creative is a work in progress. Please check back often to find out what we’re doing. It will be interesting to see where the universe leads us.
