Green Cheese Media Group is an artist branding and development agency. Think of us as something like an advertising agency for musicians. Green Cheese Media Group is responsible for working with artists, producers, management companies, and record labels to develop an artist prior to their first major release.

There are many factors that contribute to the success of an artist. As artists begin working with skilled producers to craft their music into a marketable product, we work with the artist to develop all the elements that contribute to the artist's brand image. Ultimately, as an artist progresses it is necessary that there be a collaboration with the producer, management company, and image branding company. What may have been acceptable in the eyes of the artist when starting out is not professional or acceptable to a company marketing the music - your new record label. We develop media materials - high definition video, music & concert videos, merchandise, print, interactive, stage image - with the purpose of polishing your image. Ultimately, our goal is to work with your production and management team to develop a total package that which will allow a record label to take you quickly to market.

Green Cheese Media Group's branding and development service gets results. Our primary concern is to work with the artist to effectively communicate the message of the music to the fans and help the artist reach their goals. Many artists we work with have been signed or are in the process of signing with major record labels. In each case, one of the major contributing factors to that success - after the quality of the music - was that the artist came to the bargaining table as a complete package, ready to market.

We value the relationship with the artist as well as the message and the music. Green Cheese Media Group identifies the needs of the artist before we do any work. Our goal is get to know the artist and the music, enabling us to present a product that visually represents the artist in the most effective manner. An artist's music is personal, a portion ot their soul is woven into the fabric of their work. A piece of someone's soul deserves more than promotion that is "just another gig" for the agency. As experienced advertising, promotion, and production professionals with national credits and work for major record labels we understand how to create the proper image for the artist.

Artists are presented with unique, flexible financing and production options. Some artists choose to pay for the entire package. However, we provide artist the option to leverage a smaller investment with product and equity partnerships. We have options such as deferred payment and financing. Each artist is unique, and our costs are based on specific project requirements.

Of course, we also will produce "stand alone" concert & music videos, as well as documentaries or promotional materials. Additionally, our work may also be seen on the National Geographic & Discovery Channel, PBS, CMT, & VH1. Our work is also being sold in major retail outlets, such as Best Buy, Wal-Mart, and Target.
