Assignment Title: Envoi @ The Musica in Akron, Ohio
Assignment Project Description: Market the Envoi show to its fullest potential, help assist Ben with the show, stage manage the event and make sure the event runs smoothly and on time.
Assignment Goals: Promote the Envoi show over social media to increase attendance, invite friends to the event page, flyer around the Akron, Kent and Cleveland areas, make sure locals are checked in at load in time and make sure the show runs on time.
Reflection: My responsibilities for the show were to invite people to the event on Facebook and market the show via social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram), flyering, and word of mouth. The day of the show I showed up early to help bands load-in their gear, check the bands in and account for their pre-sales. I helped Ben, co-founder of BravoArtist, with whatever he needed to be done. I also was the stage manager for this show. My duties included making sure all the bands were loaded in, helping bands set-up their equipment and taking down their equipment, making sure the next band is ready to go on next as well as their equipment, and finally making sure the show ran on time. If the bands had any questions about the show, I was prepared to answer them and help them out to the best of my abilities. At the end of the night, we handed out our BravoArtist cards that had a qr code for free music and also a list of upcoming BravoArtist shows.

Assignment Title: Emmure w/ Born of Osiris @ The Basement in Columbus, Ohio.
Assignment Project Description: Market the Emmure show to reach its fullest potential, assist Cory and Ben with whatever needed to be done and to make sure the event runs smoothly and on time.
Assignment Goals: Promote the Emmure show over social media to increase attendance, invite friends to the event page, given the popularity of the bands we need to make sure the show sells out and help assist Cory, Ben and the national artists with whatever needed to be done.
Reflection: Before the event, I helped promote the show via Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. I invited all of my Columbus friends to the Facebook event as well. I left my house at noon to prepare for my two hour drive to Columbus and was ready to help out with whatever was needed for the show. I picked up Cory Hajde to bring him to the show. On our way to the venue, we went to the store to accommodate the artists’ rider. A rider is a list of items artists ask for as part of the guarantee they receive; they can also ask for a payout instead, which would just be extra money. A rider could include cases of water, alcohol and catering; it just depends on the artists’ needs. When we got to the venue, I helped Emmure and Born of Osiris load-in their gear and merchandise. Being that this was my first national act show, there was a lot more work to be done compared to my first show, which was all local artists. After the bands were situated, I took on the role of the runner. A runner is someone who runs errands to accommodate the artists, venue, or company. For example, I took Maurice, Emmure's bus driver, to his hotel. When I got back to the venue, I assisted Cory and Ben with hanging up set times around the venue to make sure our guests knew what time the bands played throughout the night. I took on the role of runner again and ran Emmure to the laundromat, so that the artists can have clean clothes while they are on the road. Towards the end of the night, Cory and I made a bank run in order to pay the bands their set guarantee.

Assignment Project Description: Market the This Is A Lifetime show to its fullest potential, help assist Cory with the show, stage manage the event and make sure the event runs smoothly and on time.
Assignment Goals: Promote the This Is A Lifetime show over social media to increase attendance, invite friends to the event page, flyer for the upcoming Wilson show and help assist Cory with whatever needed to be done.
Reflection: When the This Is A Lifetime headliner was announced, I immediately started promoting it. This Is A Lifetime are really good friends of mine and of course I wanted the show to go extra well for them. I really hit the promotion hard via BravoArtist's Twitter account. I would try to make a post every other day or 2 days since I was on the road with my band at the time. I also didn't wanna go overboard where it would get annoying to our followers with our posts. In the tweets I would include their twitter user names and the event page on Facebook. I invited all of my friends to the Facebook event as well. I made sure each band was tagged and the event link was present as well. I made sure posts were made every other day. Not only did I promote the show well on Bravo's pages, but I also promoted it hard on my personal Facebook, Twitter and Instagram because I have a good reach to their target audience since we are close friends. The day of the show, I picked up flyers with Cory for the Wilson show (my next assigned show) and I also gave the show shout outs on my band's Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to get some extra help for the show. I got to the show early to help bands load-in their gear, check the bands in and account for their pre-sales. Over the course of the night, I made sure all the bands had everything they needed and also kept up with photos for Bravo's Instagram. I also helped stage managed this show too. I made sure that there were Wilson flyers spread along the bar and all the tables in the venue too.

Reflection: The Wilson show was heavily promoted on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, both on my personal and Bravo’s pages. We did really well flyering around the city, going to multiple shows and creating awareness of the show. The band is an upcoming regional band, they’re great artists, but not many people know about them yet. I made sure bands were checked in and pre-sales were accounted for.

Assignment Title: Ohio Metal Fest @ The Agora in Cleveland, Ohio.
Assignment Project Description: Flyer for our Protest The Hero show.
Assignment Goals: Cover the venue with flyers where people can see them and distribute flyers to every guest as they walked out of the venue.
Reflection: This was not a Bravo event, but this was a huge day to distribute flyers and reach out to people by word of mouth for our upcoming shows.

11.) (8 hours) 4 p.m. – 12 p.m. November 24th 2013
Assignment Title: Counterparts @ The Foundry in Lakewood, Ohio.
Assignment Project Description: Market the Counterparts show to its fullest potential, help assist Alex and Cory with the show and make sure the event runs smoothly and on time.
Assignment Goals: Promote the Counterparts show over social media to increase attendance, invite friends to the event page, stage manage, determine set times, make sure this show sells out given the artist's popularity and help assist Cory and Alex with whatever needed to be done.
Reflection: The Counterparts show was heavily promoted over Bravo’s Facebook, Twitter and Instagram as well as posted from my personal pages and my band’s pages. I assisted with checking the bands in, counting ticket money and any leftover tickets. I helped determine time slots for the locals that supported the tour. We hung up set times around various spots of the venue so everyone knows when what band will play at what time. I stage managed the show and we did set change-overs in 10-15 minutes. This show sold out.
Notes from Cory Hajde, the CEO of BravoArtist:

Assignment Goals: Promote the Hustle & Muscle Tour over social media to increase attendance, invite friends to the event page, distribute flyers prior to the event, stage manage, determine set times and line-up order and help assist Cory and Ben with whatever needed to be done.
Reflection: These four days were promoted very well over social media using Bravo's and my personal pages. We ran on time for each date with my help of stage management. On the Cleveland date, I helped sell pre-sales, helped check-in bands, accounted for pre-sales (money and extra tickets), and helped assist with the order of the show and times. I felt this was what it was like to run my own show, which I am eager to start doing next year. I think I can handle the work load from my learning experience this past year.
