Be Visible, Be Known: Fill in the Blanks

Sound Professional: Commercials That Rock

• Produce Killer Commercials: Got merch to sell? A tour to plug? Why not create a radio ad for it? We’re here to help your promo sound as epic as your guitar solos. And no, you don’t need to be Spielberg—we can help you produce something awesome.

Make Your Voice Heard: Clear IDs and Talk-Ups

• Station IDs with Swagger: If we’re spinning your tracks, give us a station ID. Something simple: “This is [Your Band Name], and you’re tuned to WTYU.rocks, where rock lives!” Bonus points if you make it funny or weird—we like personality.
• Talk the Talk-Ups: Record intros for your songs. Share a story, crack a joke, or just say hi. Fans love knowing the faces (and voices) behind the music.

Global Reach: Think Beyond Local

• Rock the World: WTYU.rocks isn’t just a local gig; we’ve got listeners from all corners of the planet. So when you’re recording IDs or creating content, remember: you’re not just talking to your buddies—you’re addressing a global army of rock fans.

Brand Power: Logo Love and Professional Photos

• Logo Love on Socials: Pop the WTYU.rocks logo on your socials and website. It’s like wearing our band tee; it shows you’re part of the family.

In 2025, Bands Need to Know This to Succeed

1. Polished Tracks Are Key: There’s no room for rough demos on the air. Invest in professional recording and mixing. (Your garage days can stay in the garage.)
2. Find Your Niche: Not every station is your station. Target the ones that fit your sound and style, like WTYU.rocks for hard rockers.
3. Master Your Digital Presence: Your social media is your storefront. Keep it fresh, engaging, and authentic. Bonus points for great visuals and behind-the-scenes content.
4. Data Is Your Friend: Use analytics to figure out where your fans are and pitch to stations in those areas. Work smarter, not harder.
5. Network Like a Rockstar: Partner with other bands, work with stations, and say yes to collaborations. In rock, as in life, teamwork makes the dream work.
6. Pitch Like a Pro: Send polished press kits with killer bios, great photos, and links to your music. Tailor your message to each station—it’s not one-size-fits-all.
7. Stay Consistent: Keep making music, keep sharing updates, and keep showing up. Success doesn’t happen overnight, but persistence pays off.
