About John: Public Relations and Publicity Services
I am a thirty six year veteran of the sales and marketing field having specialized in technology manufacturers. Going back to my formative years I passed the Federal Communications Commission Radio Telephone Operator’s License qualification test at the tender age of fourteen. At that ripe old age I was the host DJ of our town’s weekly Saturday night dance at the YMCA and I loved it. At seventeen, a wonderful teacher, who encouraged me to join DECA, landed me a job at a local rock station. I was ecstatic to say the least. The station manager took me under his wing and not only informed me about the engineering side of a radio station but also how the sales, marketing, and production systems work. From there on in I was hooked. Talk about an exciting industry and I have been involved in it one way or another for as long as I can remember. In 2008 my boss spawned a new division of his company. He announced we would be launching an online digital music sales company. I was honored to be chosen as Vice President. My position took me to various digital forums around the country where I learned about relative topics on the law, promotional marketing, artist management and more. I formed quite a number of new relationships along the way. Fate, once again, had brought me into a new, exciting facet of the music industry.
Most recently a star on the blues circuit, Steve “Harp Ace” Krase, called me and invited me to have a cup of coffee with him. As we sat there he tabled an idea. He relayed to me that I was already writing, I have a professional background in sales and marketing, and I love the music industry. So he asked me “Why don’t you do what seems to be a natural extension of yourself and open a PR firm for artists?” I sat there stunned like the proverbial deer staring into the headlights. I didn’t know why I hadn’t envisioned that connection in the past but as soon as he tabled the notion of doing so I was bitten by fate one more time.
John in Houston PR is a personalized service combining time tested marketing processes with today’s modern technology designed to deliver a sophisticated but yet affordable service. You are looking for a PR firm that has the contacts, the creative skills, and a pleasant persistence when following up with the press. John in Houston PR works exclusively with independent artists, labels, and publications.
John in Houston PR is all about an artist’s PR needs in today’s fast paced world. Those needs include both quality and speed. That is what John in Houston PR is all about. Quality and speed with a dash of innovation.
I personally hope you review our web presence and learn about the various services and pricing models we offer. Our goal is to be in the transportation business: we want to help artists get from where they are to where they want to be.
The PR process requires trust. Without mutual trust the process is lowered to that of a fast food restaurant who’s business is built on the premise of moving the same meals to millions of people. Not much intimacy there. Our focus is to be more like that of a fine jeweler. The fine jewelry store does not focus on moving millions of hamburgers per day. Instead they focus on one person at a time. That’s our intent. Even in today’s fast paced world there is way to deliver both speed and quality. In fact, since the advent of many of today’s modern technology tools prices can be lowered and speed increased while not impeding the end result at the same time. It’s a blended process. So what John in Houston PR is all about is you.
