Hey everybody!
Happy almost 4th of July! Hope you get some time off to relax, eat and drink, and blow things up, if fireworks are your thing!
Also hope you’re all staying cool wherever you are. Up here we’re looking at a week or two of 100+ degree temperatures, which might not seem crazy to some of you, but we’re on the west coast! In OREGON!
We have also, as is the tradition around here, prepared our monthly AMP webinars for you all, so why not take this opportunity to either dive into our AMP tools for the first time, or get a refresher on all things AMP that you may have forgotten!
This first webinar this month is Wednesday, July 3rd, and that’s our introduction to, and complete walkthrough of, all the aforementioned AMP tools. Next week we’ll host office hours, which is much more free form and more about just answering your questions and helping you troubleshoot.
As always here’s a more detailed recap of the webinars and what they’re all about:
Pandora For Creators: An Introduction to AMP (07/3/24, 11:00 AM PST)
This webinar is geared toward new AMP users (or lapsed users who need a refresher) and includes a complete demonstration and walkthrough of all the various AMP tools, as well as an extensive Q&A session. On top of that, we’ll be offering an optional, extended, free-form discussion after the webinar, where members of our Creator team will be on hand to answer even more of your questions, AMP and otherwise.
Pandora For Creators: Office Hours (07/10/24, 11:00 AM PST)
Office Hours is a monthly hour-long webinar designed for active AMP users who have specific questions or problems. This is a chance to speak in person to someone on the Creator team, who can help with any questions you might have, whether they be technical issues, creative ideas, best practices, etc.
If you missed previous webinars, or especially if you’re getting this message for the first time, we wanted to remind everybody about AMP, our Artist Marketing Platform, a set of free and powerful tools for creators. Whether you’re an experienced AMP user or have been meaning to get around to signing up and learning to use AMP eventually, AMP can be an extremely valuable part of any creator’s toolkit.
Once you’re signed up for AMP, you can:
• Record Artist Audio Messages and speak directly to your fans (you can even record these right on your phone using AMPcast)
• Let your fans know about what you have for sale and how to buy your merch
• Hype new recordings and releases
• Announce upcoming performances
• Speak to the context or meaning of your music, share behind the scenes stories and musical influences
• ‘Feature’ your latest new single and accompany it with an artist message.
• Get set up to record voice-overs and add them to playlists (we call these Pandora Stories) for a playlist/podcast vibe.
• View detailed data about each and every track you have spinning on Pandora
• Let your fans know about what you have for sale and how to buy your merch
• Hype new recordings and releases
• Announce upcoming performances
• Speak to the context or meaning of your music, share behind the scenes stories and musical influences
• ‘Feature’ your latest new single and accompany it with an artist message.
• Get set up to record voice-overs and add them to playlists (we call these Pandora Stories) for a playlist/podcast vibe.
• View detailed data about each and every track you have spinning on Pandora
These tools were made for musicians by musicians and were designed to make it as easy as possible to promote your music, increase spins and speak directly to your fans. AMP also allows you to see the data behind your music and then helps you to actually USE that data to grow your fanbase!
Please join us for the Intro to AMP webinar if you can. It's a great way to connect with the Creator team at Pandora and to learn all about AMP, or to just fill in any gaps in your AMP knowledge. And if you’re new to AMP, you’ll be able to use everything you learn right away.
Stay cool and stay safe!
See you soon!
Cheers,
The Creator Team
