Sarah V. Ramlagan
Project & Portfolio I: Week 1
August 6th, 2023

2. Hello! I’m Sarah and I am a
fi
rst generation American as well as the
fi
rst to attend college.I come from Queens, New York with two
parents that are strong music lovers. From what I can remember
growing up, I was always singing or playing a song (Especially
Broadway songs). When I got older I learned that there’s an entire
world surrounding the world of music and I was captivated by it. I
wanted to be a part of it. More about me, I would consider myself to
be very goal driven, I like to write tasks down and strike them o
ff
.
Another fact about me is that I believe in authenticity especially with
connections. I remember one speci
fi
c moment where I saw a promo
out for an artist’s album and how captivating it was. It was the minor
details within that made me love the power of these campaigns and
built a connection with that artist. Which leads to today, I will take
all that I am and try to do the same for others.

14. Sarah V. Ramlagan
You know how some artist lack e
ff
ective marketing
campaigns leading to less tra
ffi
c to their body of work.
Well that’s where I come in. I take all that I can get from
artists and research their fanbase to curate the most e
ff
ective campaigns that will not
only get attention from their own fans but get new fans altogether. Want proof? I
worked with a local artist and was able to help them reach 50,000 streams on their
new song 4 days after it dropped. That’s a 32% increase!
