Summary : Fontana’s Twitter took on the role as the
casual voice and industry expert. On the site
promotions were run constantly on our “Race To 3000”
contest against the GM of the company who also has an
impressive twitter following. Autographed posters,
limited edition promotional materials and free music
were favorite prizes among our followers. For those
interested in Fontana for its reputation within the
independent music world we set up guest twitter chats
with the executive staff members. Our followers could
then speak directly with the people behind the curtain! I
also worked closely with our labels to deliver their
messages to a broader audience.

communicating to the gospel music consumer, they also used it as an informational destination for
potential labels. I was in charge of maintaining all its content and keeping it up to date, including the

To help promote the release of the
Fontana artist Fred Hammond, I pitched
the idea of setting up an album preview
prior to the album’s street date. Since
Fred Hammond has an amazing
connection with his fans via his facebook,
there was no better place to stream the
music early than here! To date, the
player has received over 15,000 plays and
due to the outstanding feedback from
fans, management has decided to keep
the feature on the page!
