Amee Smith is an associate director and PR expert at Prospero Arts. She has been in PR for over 6 years and has a wealth of experience in promoting and publicizing shows, tours and Edinburgh runs.


 I got them on the podcast to talk about -

 

  • How do you make connections / relationships with journalists?
  • How do they scout for new people / talent to represent?
  • How to “PR” an Edinburgh Fringe show / solo tour.
  • How are the “top 10” lists put together and how can a PR help get a show featured?
  • When is the right time to send off your press release / contact journalists?
  • Do stunts work at the Edinburgh Fringe?
  • What free ways can you get publicity for your show / tour?
  • What value does the star rating system have on a tour / Edinburgh show?
  • Do they really help shows?
  • How does fewer printed newspapers impact on a PR’s job to get more coverage for a tour?

 

AND MORE!

 

This podcast would be useful to any performer who has a show / tour / Edinburgh run they want to promote or a comedy fan who loves to know how much work and effort goes on behind-the-scenes of a shows marketing strategy.

My 2nd book is finally out! It's called "How To Make A Living By Working For Free" and you can buy it here for £5 (digital) or £8 (paperback). Here's the synopsis of the book - 

 

The book is a how-to guide for artists to create their own online community for their work and how that community can support the artist to become sustainable in every way.


The book takes a critical and in-depth look at the media's perception of "free content" vs the reality of what the general public see it as.


If you're an artist in the modern age who wants a sustainable audience you're no longer just an artist, you're a community leader.

 

If you'd like to read the first few chapters of the book you can find a PDF version of that here.
