OVERVIEW

Execution

We created ‘The Reservists’ - a soulful, big band outfit that are currently booking gigs in universities and pubs across Australia. To get their name out there, we promoted them like any other band; with billposters, T-shirts, stickers, ‘band members wanted’ ads and a MySpace page to get the music heard. By doing all this we were not just telling, but proving to an audience of sceptics that Army Reserve Musicians know their stuff.

Outcome

The results are ongoing, kicking off with a 300% increase in enquiries and 40,000 hits on myspace and climbing.
