Consonant Music is Now Consonant Marketing

New Year, New Name and a New Focus.

2017 was a transformative year for Consonant Music. In Q1, we made the decision to begin paring down our service offerings and start expanding our reach to SMBs and personal brands outside of the entertainment industry.

Throughout 2017, Jean and I deployed change after change. Initially, we launched consonantmarketing.com to get a jump on the on-page SEO. Next, we began removing services from Consonant Music’s service menu. After that, we allocated our resources in a manner that strengthened our core skillset. Consequently, we changed our name, mission and contact info. Finally, we redirected all Consonant Music URLs to ‘Consonant Marketing’ on January, 1 2018. Today, I’m sending this letter to tell our clients, partners, peers and friends about Consonant Marketing.

Simplified Pricing Models

We listened to our clients and developed a simplified pricing structure. In the past, we billed by the hour for every project. Now, we offer entry point pricing that’s easy to understand. We didn’t raise or lower the prices, we clarified them.

Why We Changed…

Jean and I made the decision to rebrand the company and shift our focus to B2B for several reasons. People who want to know all the details can click here. Otherwise…

TL; DR Marketing and promotion are the core of our business. Since its inception, Consonant Music was presented with opportunities to work on SMB projects outside of the music industry in which we accepted. Although we didn’t market ourselves outside of music, we received referrals. Over time, we realized our agency consistently produced better results for these clients. Likewise, we worked more efficiently together.

I personally spent most of my career working directly with business owners and corporate decision makers. Taking on projects outside of music reminded me how much I love working with small business owners. We learn from each other, we share “war stories” and… ultimately, we make each other better. Overall, this is the right decision for our company and our clients.

Lastly, I’d like to thank everyone for reading and urge anyone with questions to contact us. We’re happy to assist.

Happy New Year!
