Today I took pride in watching my brother's band play in a competition at Webster Hall. At this battle of the bands event, numerous other bands all played to win coveted recording time at a major recording studio. While we are still awaiting the results of the competition, my brother's band booked another show and opened up the possibility for them to play in new and different arenas than the small-town bar they regularly play in. I was shocked to see sixteen year old boys networking so well! They quickly traded contact information with members of the other band and even invited one band to come play with them at a future show.
This just goes to show how important networking is, not only for PR but for anything. It is a great way to expand opportunities and create relationships with other people interested in what you are doing
That's awesome! It's funny how you don't even realize when your young how important something like networking is. That small exchange could lead to a whole world of opportunities. Good luck to him! Either way, it looks like he won in this situation.
