WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING
LET THEM ROAR, Band
"I took the "on the right track" marketing crash course. SO MUCH information was shared and it was all done in a very efficient, fluid way with natural progression and new skills to learn. I am especially grateful for the order of operations map to follow in preparing for a release. I would recommend this course to anyone wanting to do everything they can to be ready to launch their best work."
Paul Reisler, Kid Pan Alley, Founder
"I’ve been teaching songwriting to professional and semi-pro songwriters for over 30 years in workshops throughout the country. I want to start bringing Whitney Asher to all the workshops to work with them on their marketing and branding. I’ve never come across anyone so knowledgeable and clear about marketing and who is able to transmit that information to others. She is a master teacher.”
Shaylee Simone, Artist
“I had the most INCREDIBLE experience working with Whitney and The Marketing Mixtape. The really neat thing about Marketing Mixtape is that they want to teach and equip artists, because they understand how crazy expensive it can get to hire people out every single release. And I promise you, if I can learn it, anyone can learn it! Whitney is a patient teacher and is super easy to follow.
All in all I had great success with my release after working with MMT. My social media plan played out fluidly, the PR session was excellent and I successfully landed a few Spotify playlists using the methods she taught me. There is no magic button, it takes a lot of work, but it is doable and worth it if you put in the effort! I highly recommend working with this company, it is so worth it. It's like the whole "teach a man to fish" metaphor. You will use this knowledge throughout your entire musical career! And us independent artists can use all the help we can get. :)”
