Social Media all-star

Notorious Muzik is a big fan of being active on social media. All day long we engage with fans, promoting, and posting about our music.

Hiring an assistant to keep our social accounts active was a good move, especially since social media is where most of our audience hangs out.

We have social media assistants or ‘gurus’ that helps create the best content suited for each social platform and create a custom plan to grow our "following" and brand our music.

We also use certain apps to help keep us consistent and organized when we don’t need a dedicated person for our social media plan.
