The second Music Success in Nine Weeks Blogging Challenge will kicked off on July 5^th! For this blogging challenge I will again be awarding a grand prize of a 3-month Cyber PR campaign to the artist who blogs all 9 weeks.

33 musicians participated in the first blogging challenge, 18 completed it, and I was so inspired and moved I could not choose so 10 contestants won a campaign!

A complimentary campaign isn’t the real reason why you should take the challenge. The real reason why you should participate in the blogging challenge is we will work with you as you spend 9 weeks taking yourself out of your “musician” head and spend 9 weeks focusing on your “business” head and see how attention to your marketing and promotion and social media will transform your relationships with your fans forever.

Still Not Sure You Want To Do All The Work?

Here are a few quotes about our Cyber PR campaigns from artists who paid full price

“Ariel has incomparable reach. Less than one month into my campaign, I’ve already been played around the world, in Australia, England, the US, the Netherlands, and more. I’ve already come across in-depth reviews of my debut album from widely-distributed bloggers to which I would otherwise have no contact. No effort is wasted, and I can follow the campaign, in detail, in real time. It’s incredible, and it’s working.”
- Trey Green

“Hiring Ariel Publicity was by far and in large the best money my band ever spent. Ariel starts right away and within days we had more publicity than our record label’s publicity company had gotten us since we signed… worth every penny.”
- Jeffrey Todd, Fort Pastor

“Ariel and her staff are simply the cutting edge of cyber publicity. It’s not that Ariel has enhanced my music’s exposure. She’s put it on the map.”
- Beth Hirsch

Internationally recognised Social Media and On Line marketing expert Ariel Hyatt of NYC’s Ariel Publicity presenting her ideas and thinking in London for the first time.

Communications and event management company Evil Genius Media + Events have announced that they will present a seminar in London with leading social media and on line marketing expert Ariel Hyatt of NYC based Ariel Publicity.

The three hour event scheduled for 6 pm, Thursday May 27 at PRS House in Berners St London, is aimed to give artists, artist managers and indie labels practical information to assist them in formulating a plan to deal with all the social media platforms they have to manage as part of a modern 2.0 music career or business.

During the event Hyatt will outline some of the thinking that has made her a must-have speaker on the international conference circuit over the last several years including appearances at SXSW, CMJ, and ASCAP’s I CREATE MUSIC EXPO 2010. Her bi-weekly newsletter and weekly YouTube TV series “Sound Advice” has over 15,000 subscribers.

The event will be segmented into three parts. Part One will focus on expanding the thinking outlined in Hyatt’s bestselling book ‘Music Success in Nine Weeks.’ Hyatt is creating this presentation especially for the London audience who might not be as familiar with her work as the music industry in other territories.

In Part Two, Hyatt will create an open workshop working with a number of audience members on their social media and web pages.  Artists, managers and labels who wish to be considered for selection for this will be asked to submit a URL to Hyatt and her team during the on line ticket purchase process.

Part Three will be devoted to Q and A where Hyatt will give one on one advice to those with questions.

“I trained in traditional PR as an intern in London over 20 years ago and I am delighted to be coming back for the first time to present PR in a whole new light.  The UK music industry is famous for how tough the competition is and how difficult it can be to get a leg up, so for me to be able to come and work with artists, managers and labels will be coming full circle for me.  I am really looking forward to this event.”

The Music Managers Forum, The Association of Independent Music and The Australian Performing Rights Association have all come on board as official event partners enabling their members access to discount tickets.

Event Essential Information:
When: Thursday 27 May 2010 Event starts at 18:00 sharp.
Where: PRS House Berners St London W1T 3AB.
Nearest Tube: Tottenham Ct Rd or Oxford Circus.
Tickets: £30 + VAT are available at http://arielpublicity.com/msi9w-london/
