Introduction GGAG offers clients an integrated and comprehensive range of professional development and marketing services. GGAG’s expertise and industry network provides new talent with a distinct strategic advantage by developing and implementing a plan that serves as a roadmap for the client to navigate through the highly competitive entertainment industry.
The US music industry is the largest in the world. International and domestic artists have one goal-‐-‐to be recognized in the World's largest entertainment market and on the World's largest stage. Artists consider the positioning and recognition of their talent in the US critical to their success.
Serious entertainers and artists wanting to break into the US music industry often try to seek out a professional organization to help establish and launch them in their chosen musical and entertainment specialization. Artists pay for individual services from multiple unconnected individuals to develop, market, and distribute their content. Unfortunately, these service providers generally work in silos, without a strategic plan or the ability to leverage synergistic relationships. The artist is forced to focus on managing and coordinating all these different services instead of doing what they do best—creating hit music, performing, and interacting with fans. GGAG provides integrated and coordinated professional services, with their own established and recognized industry experts. GGAG delivers a personalized range of professional services that deliver unmatched results. GGAG helps the client identify his or her brand, assists with artist development, develops and implements a marketing and promotion strategy, creates compelling content for radio and social media, and provides a comprehensive distribution solution for music and branded merchandise.
GGAG has developed and worked with multiple Platinum selling artists and top 10 Billboard charting singers. By leveraging GGAG's expertise and network of contacts, GGAG provides individuals and groups from around the world, and within the USA, with a full spectrum of professional, coordinated marketing and personal development services, to assist artists and entertainers establish themselves in the US marketplace.

Development and Demo Package Our experienced A&R team will work with you to develop your artistry and produce and record a single representative of your talent. We leverage our extensive relationships to engage several renowned, A-‐list songwriters and producers to produce, write, and record hit music catered to your musical style and demographic. We deliver commercially viable music that maintains your artistic integrity. The process consists of recording several song demos to find a unique sound that gives you a competitive advantage within your genre of music. Then, we research your music with radio programmers and select the best song for a national radio campaign. Once a single selection is made, we negotiate the producer’s fee in good faith to acquire all the rights to release the song globally. Prices vary based on the producer’s market rate. Following our creative consultation, we will provide you a production schedule along with a complete list of selected writers/producers and their discographies.
Radio Promotion GGAG will quarterback a national radio campaign to promote your single at select formats. We will customize a budget to meet your needs. The budget covers our promotion team and costs associated with servicing your single to format specific outlets, including Terrestrial, Internet, and Satellite radio stations. We also service and promote to Pandora, as well as the digital broadcast outlets operated by major broadcast companies; i.e., iHeartRadio owned by iHeartMedia, formerly Clear Channel Media. Additional services include format specific mix-‐show promotion, radio marketing, tip sheets, and e-‐blasts. We continually grow airplay and gage response to the music via such instruments as Shazam, Mediabase, iTunes, and BDS. We provide weekly reports charting your single’s progress. During the promotional period, our team remains available to you to strategize the best approach to continue building your brand at radio. We will coordinate promotional tours, including in-‐person visits/interviews and promotional appearances at radio station concerts. These events are optional and become available once your single builds momentum in the marketplace.
