CMJ’s Lack of Promotion of Their Cleveland Festival
This entry was posted in Uncategorized. Bookmark the permalink.
Has anyone been to this festival? I have friends that are originally from Cleveland, and they don’t know anyone. Maybe it’s been well sold and they don’t need more promotion. When I saw the lineup, it did nothing for me so I stopped looking at all of the updates.
I could not agree with you more especially because I am from Cleveland and I am witnessing the lack of promotion firsthand. It is really disapointing to see CMJ not making any effort to really promote the festival.it is if they do not even care that it is going on.Also another problem i have with the promotion is the banner does not even mention some of the better bands that are playing like spinto band,birdmonster,lovely feathers,the stills,rogue wave, etc or even the fact that perry farrel is dj ing and speaking at the event. It is like they are setting up the festival for failure before it has even begun.
CMJ has for a long time used cleveland clubs by tying it in to its festival by name. Fact is, its not CMJ. Its a money thing.
with a lineup like that why would they want to promote it?
