An ad in the industry edition reaches an industry mailing list of 200 people at record companies, management companies, and publicity firms plus 50 musicians.  With the necessary band support, the industry edition will be eight (then more) pages EVERY issue, and the mailing list will grow to include more industry people and more musicians.

The Renegade's publisher is an MBA who views his publication from a business perspective; there is no hidden agenda -- the Renegade's goal is to provide maximum benefit for its advertisers.  And the industry edition is an effort by the publisher to help hard-working bands get the exposure they need and deserve.  It interests the industry because it is a reputable publication that provides industry insiders with another way to find out about the top-notch, hard working bands they are searching for.  An ad in the industry edition tells the music industry you're serious about your career and recognize the importance of advertising.

Because bands have limited finances, the industry edition is scheduled to be quarterly -- and a $75, 1/4 page ad size is the smallest size available for individual purchase.  However, discounts (as well as smaller ad sizes) are available for those who purchase a full year of advertising (4 issues) in advance.  For as little as $180 a year (one 1/9 page ad in each of four issues), you can keep your band's name in the minds of music industry insiders.  You'll even save $60 per year off your 1/4 page ad when you pay for a full year in advance.  These options will help open even more doors as you approach the industry to pitch your band.

Please contact the Renegade to discuss whether or not the industry edition will be useful in your band's efforts to attract industry attention.  The Renegade industry edition could be a valuable part of your band's marketing plan!
