Career Planning
So, you're thinking about distributing your first demo or perhaps you've decided that songwriting is your niche. Sometimes, it's difficult to figure how where to begin, even in this era of technology. We can help you personalize a roadmap to success, wherever your dreams are taking you.
You don't have to go at it alone. This business can be insane on the best of days. Career planning is the single most important step in the process. We will personally help you develop a 3-6-9 plan. You may be surprised at how much more confident you'll feel with a solid vision. And if conditions change, we're right there helping you stay on track. Think of us as your team of coaches. Personally, this is my absolute favorite part of helping my clients. It's awesome to watch ah-ha moments in real-time when goals start falling into place!

Unless specified, none of your content will be shared with a third-party. This gives you the peace of mind that your property is in good hands. Send in your material today and let's have a listen.
Contracts and Documentation
With the hazards of theft of your intellectual property, it's a good idea to have a professional contract customized for your specific distribution and production permissions. One of the most common questions we receive is, "How do I protect myself?" RPP has a fantastic legal service and the ability to create legally-binding contracts that will protect yourself and your teams against predatory and illegitimate business practices.
Content Production Assistance
At RPP, we own our own studios, cutting the costs of production. We are able to provide mixing and mastering services for a fraction of the cost of most commercial studios. Our team can help you make your content come to life, without breaking the bank.
EPK Creation
Think of your EPK as your music resume. With hundreds of thousands of songs produced every week, you MUST stand out from the crowd. Let us help you create a stunning, eye-catching portfolio that will leave a lasting impression. This is a crucial step in the right direction for artists who aren't content to just sit back and do spot-marketing. This is a highly proactive process that allows you to create your own personal brand. If you're serious about getting exposure, an EPK is THE pitch for you and your team.
Express Quick Pitch
As artists know, finding the right avenue of exposure can be frustrating. Let us make your pitch to your preferred avenue for you. We have an extensive database of mediums. All you have to do is choose your favorite and we'll run the press promotion for you! This is a great deal for artists who are in the process of (or daydreaming about) local or semi-local touring. We handle all logistical communication between you, your team, and the proposed venues.
Content Creation
Online bios and press releases are some of the first materials that potential labels see when they are trying to find their "perfect fit." Sometimes, it takes a lot to get it it right. We are here to help you create content that will get the attention you need. After all, you've worked hard on your sound. Let us worry about the details of your writing projects.
Venue Booking
During the best of times, venue coordination can be frustrating. Coordinating with local venues is a bit easier. The Express option is available for musicians who are looking to quick pitch on a local or regional scale. This option gives you and your team a bit more help in securing venue cooperation as you expand outside of the smaller circuits in this era of the "new normal". We have a database of thousands of venues and will always work closely with artists and their teams to make the re-entrance into touring a bit less risky. As the COVID-19 crisis has ebbed, we still understand that reliability is less certain. This is why we make every effort to keep our databases updated to ensure coordination runs as smoothly as possible.
Radio and Media Quick Pitch
With thousands of radio shows, podcasts, and blogs, it can be a shot in the dark to get your material played on the airwaves or get your name in print. In conjunction with SEO, we're offering this service to a limited number of artists. Our team will assess your song for airplay and provide feedback, if necessary, and get you radio-ready. We have an extensive database of radio stations, blogs, and magazines at our disposal, so let us help you pitch your next hit today.
Music Retreats
At Rock Prairie Productions, we are huge fans of songwriting retreats. So, naturally, we've incorporated this feature to help established artists to coordinate their own. It can be an awe-inspiring experience, but the coordination and expenses are sometimes prohibitive. We will work with artists and their teams to create retreats without all of the drama and headache.We have the capabilities of promoting both outdoor retreat conferences and online experiences for fans. Our team will work with you to create a line-up (if applicable), a budget, venue plan, and distribution ads for each event. Contact us today to see if we can help you with your next retreat...even if it's international. Let's book it.
Music Festival Coordination
Hosting a music festival can be a lot of work. From finding a suitable venue, to auditioning bands, to stage planning, there are thousands of moving parts. Even the smallest events sometimes require months of preparation. Our staff has experience in all areas of festival planning. We can help make your vision a reality for any demographic set. At RPP, we own the equipment, saving the artist and sponsors thousands of dollars that could be spent elsewhere- like marketing.
No idea is too crazy!
Merchandise Planning and Design
Do you have an online store that you'd like us to promote? Do you have unique creations that you would like to sell on a music platform? Or do you need a professional merchandise designer? Unless you're a big brand, it's sometimes hard to get your brand off the ground without spending a ton on advertising. Obviously, this doesn't bode well for your ROI. Instead of percentages on your merchandise, we generally charge a flat fee for collection items. Contact us today for more information on selling your unique and/or branded items.
Outsourcing
At RPP, we strive to give you the best client experience possible. Our services are tailored to your specific goals. We offer extended services to certain clients who wish to connect with other professionals for specific needs, such as audio engineer consultations and commercial studio processing. This can provide invaluable new opportunities for growth and networking. Get access to hundreds of professionals to help you on your next project. The networking connections you make are priceless.
SEO Services
Have you ever checked your name or your brand on Google? We all have, especially in this business. (It's okay, you're among friends here.) It can be a little dispiriting to find only a couple of results after spending so much time trying to grow your presence. RPP will help maximize your exposure. Really, the opportunities are endless. You just have to know where to find them. And we do.
Website Creation and Hosting
Whether you prefer an online one-sheet or EPK, we can help take the headache out of creating functional, effective content. We are huge fans of interactive sites, so we can be as creative as we'd like to be.
