Get involved in Cause Campaigns – STM casts for bands to get involved in new opportunities and be selected to share YOUR mic in a program or campaign partnering with an NPO and major brand sponsor to raise awareness or funds for a cause.
Grow Your Audience into thousands and more – The ability to extend your marketing visibility and grow your audience while making a difference… as well as making music. Your support for one of our partners opens the door for your music and band to be exposed to a new community – audiences numbering in the hundreds of thousands.
Promotion in a whole new genre – ShareTheMic provides a service to Sponsors and Non Profits that permits you/your band to be identified by what change objectives you would like to support and why by selecting to be involved in 2 of our global cause categories. This allows us to focus on who you are, what you would ike to achieve, as well as how talented you are. Once approved by STM, we share this secured information privately both regionally and nationally to only global non-profit organizations who can then find you through here based on your combined music and cause-commitment. As a ShareTheMic artist, you are then added to our musicians page and easily found by partners through simple category search.
Volunteerism Rewards – ShareTheMic is currently developing a framework for future programs of artist tour support, sponsor relationships, music equipment rewards, travel discounts and more through our Volunteerism for Points and Rewards initiative. (To be launched in 2012)
Paid Gigs – Non-profits produce numerous awareness and fundraising events throughout the year. They are constantly looking for entertainment at their events. We regularly receive “Requests for Talent” for fundraising events. By filling out this application and expressing why you would like to ShareTheMic for change, our system can help place you in front of the right new audiences.
Spokesperson Opportunities – In some cases, ShareTheMic in partnership with a major Non Profit Organization will choose and assist/train you to become a “spokesperson” for a specific cause based on your abilities and interests. A marketing evangelist who can evolve into a valued and sustainable part of the NPO’s annual audience building efforts. Or an ambassador to engage and activate a younger audience of potential volunteers and donors… your current fan base.
International Exposure / Tour Overseas – Our 2011 -2012 international musician exchange program is recognized as a partner with the US State Department and US Embassy divisions. By applying here, if chosen you have an opportunity to become a global diplomat by volunteering and performing in the Middle East and abroad working with NPOs overseas and performing high level events along the way. Each band is financially compensated and is elected to travel internationally through this unique grant. Please specify areas in which you feel you would be most effective in a cultural exchange opportunity.
