The importance of branding in the entertainment industry
Movie and music fans are not only drawn in by an artist’s work; they are also subconsciously attracted to them because of their branding. A creative individual’s brand says as much about them as their creations do. It communicates to their audience the values and principles for which they stand. For this reason, artists must invest in their own branding in order to build a successful career in the entertainment industry.

SUPERGOODMUSIC.com informs underground music fans of the latest tours and live performances and album releases, with a special focus on artists emerging from the Los Angeles market.
