What is a Press Kit?
A Press Kit, often referred to as a media kit or a promo
package, is a collection of music marketing tools that will help
to increase overall media exposure and help to increase future
bookings, radio airplay and draw attention to your project from
music industry representatives. Why Do You Need A Press
Kit?
Marketing and promoting your project effectively in today’s
music industry requires a few staples including a website,
recorded music, live performance experience among others.
Equally important is a promotional media kit designed to
effectively market your band to record labels, booking agents,
venue promoters, radio directors and other music reps. Press
Kits are an Industry standard and are required on many levels
for making industry contacts. Ultra Entertainment Press
Kits
At Ultra Entertainment, we understand the importance of the
‘first impression’ and understand the critical importance of an
effective promotional package. Our focus is to produce a Press
Kit package that will incite curiosity and heighten interest in
your band at first glance. We will facilitate the creation of a
complete and progressive Press Kit. We will walk you through
each process to ensure your package will rival that of the most
professional and established Industry artists. Your Press Kits
will include your band’s information on an impressive color
printed, all-inclusive folder accentuated by an EPK (Electronic
Press Kit) with a complete and dynamic presentation of your
project. A benefit to this layout is that there will be no loose
papers to potentially be lost or thrown away. The recipient of
your promotional package will find an easy-to-access and very
informative presentation of your entire project.
Press Kit
Contents
As a band you have the option of what you wish to include in
your press kit. The amount of information may vary from artist
to artist. Well established acts may have more to present in
their Press Kit than artists who are just starting out. Whether
you have a little, or a lot, a custom Press Kit is an extremely
valuable marketing tool. Content options may include, but are
not limited to, the following:

of information from your Press Kit content. Your information, in
its entirety, will be loaded onto a CD in an EPK (Electronic
Press Kit) format. In addition to your featured songs, the CD
will contain a slide show presentation with links to your Bio,
Press Clippings, Lyrics, etc… The recipient of your custom Press
Kit will have easy electronic access to your music and all
pertinent information needed to make an informed decision to
