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

Sponsorship is also an important element of our business. At past events, we have had the support of Peta,Miller Brewing Company, Pabst Blue Ribbon,Rollin Rock, Rock n Roll Hall of Fame, Ford, Mazda, Rockstar Energy Drink, Nokia, Bacardi, Sam Ash, Monster Energy Drink, Hilton Hotels, Outburn Magazine, Hotcards.com, Chipotle, Stress Clothing, over 100 recording studios and many other local and national sponsors. We have also contacted  Nintendo Wii, American Express, and Pepsi for future events.

Gorilla Productions thrives on maintaining a consistent network. We are currently building relationships with Warped Tour, Voodoo Music Festival, Taste of Chaos,  Rockstar Mayhem and artists such as NIN, The Killers, and the Black Keys. By affiliating ourselves with other leading music conglomerates, we strengthen our abilities as promoters and open ourselves and our customers to innumerable opportunities.
