• •Be Authentic and Passionate: Let genuine enthusiasm for the music and culture shine through. If you believe in the product, it will show.
• •Stay Direct and Concise: Get to the point. The audience appreciates honesty and clarity over elaborate marketing.
• •Embrace the Edge (Appropriately): While maintaining professionalism, don’t shy away from the raw energy and attitude inherent in the genres. The brand name itself is provocative; the copy can reflect this confidence.
