Today we chat with PR company owner Dawn Jones. We hear her story of growing from fiddle player to fiddling with promotion as an intern to full-on “one stop shop” for artists with her company, Pressed PR. We break down tracking results and what it means to be ready for PR.

Dawn Jones is the founder of music promotion house, Pressed PR.  Deeply rooted in the music industry, Pressed PR was originally founded as a passion project that would empower other independent artists to succeed. Dawn wanted to develop a modern company that embodied the essence of intentional, personal, and innovative marketing with a team that displayed the strongest work ethic for their artists. Named one of “The 10 Best Indie Music Promotion Services That Are Worth It” by Two Story Melody, her team has worked on a variety of campaigns ranging from independent artists just starting out to celebrity artists with millions of fans.  Pressed PR’s clientele has landed in the pages of Billboard, Forbes, Huffington Post, Esquire, American Songwriter, and many more.

There is so much to say about Dawn and what she has been able to create but we will let her tell the story of her journey to building an impressive resource for musicians to get their music into the right places so that their music will be heard and not lost in the woods. Let's go!
