I received an e mail from a woman at the UK-based management company Harrison Parrott this morning, and this was under her title\/phone number\/address in her auto signature:<\/p>\n
News Flash<\/b><\/a>: The BBC Symphony Orchestra have just announced Oliver Knussen<\/a> as their new Artist in Association, the three-year appointment consolidating his long relationship with them as a composer and conductor. Full press release >><\/a> More news >><\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I assume everyone at Harrison Parrott changes their signature as news about their artists comes in, and I think that’s fantastic. IMG Artists<\/a>, my former place of employ, has news items right on their homepage, which is also useful, CAMI<\/a> has a press release section, which is not as useful, and Opus 3 Artists<\/a> (formerly ICM) has a column of news items on their homepage. Opus 3 is the big winner of the three, because they offer the option to subscribe to an RSS Feed of their news posts. <\/p>\n
I’m wondering if it will come across as arrogant if I add artists’ news items to my auto signature. It might be a bit much from a publicist (or, is that where it’s actually most appropriate?), but it certainly works for a management company, and would be fitting for an orchestra or presenting organization as well. <\/p>\n
It’s a war out there! Get exposure where you can! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
