THE COMPANY
Gorilla Productions takes the approach of education through promotion. We consult the bands we work with, giving them insight from our experience.
By educating bands and venues on methods of grassroots promotion using multi-media tools, we are able to maintain affiliation with the venues and promote superior concerts.
By implementing our innovative marketing strategies, increasing brand recognition, and on completion of our interactive website, Gorilla Productions will develop an exceptional network. We are currently launching an e-commerce record store along with band management and consulting. By developing talent, we can place bands on national tours and festivals.
Gorilla Productions looks forward to expanding into more markets nationwide. Cultivating new relationships will assist us in supplying ticketing and other needs to new clients
