As a DJ your most valuable marketing skill starts with your sound and talent as a DJ but in 2022 there is a lot more to DJing than just music! Your image, professionalism and personality will all have a major effect on building fans and if promoters will want to book you. The biggest DJs in the world all generally have one thing in common a distinctive brand, sound and presence... building a solid brand that will add credibility and impress potential promoters looking to book you.

4 Marketing Tools that we absolutely recommend is:

  • A Strong Logo: once the gigs start coming in, it is essential to have a strong logo for marketing materials such as flyers and for visuals during your set.

  • Press Shots: high quality press shots are a must, the first impression you make on social media must represent yourself as a brand.

  • Social Media Pages: Facebook, Instagram and Soundcloud are vital tools for growing your brand. Keeping these up to date and professional will give you maximum reach.

  • Website: whilst websites used to be expensive and complex, modern websites cab be developed quickly and cheaply. Websites offer maximum impact and focussed information about what you have to offer.

Things to avoid:

  • Relentless and repetitive social media live streams and posts about unrelated topics. Keep your profiles clean and professional.

  • Have personal and professional social media pages. political and personal views have no place on a page that is trying to sell your skills as a performer.
