A press kit is a must-have item for anyone looking for recognition and fame as an artist or creative person. You can send your press kit to the record company, any club, media outlet or anyone who might be interested in your work. The press kit is your professional resume.

Did you know that most of these presentations are deleted? The main reasons are: they are too fancy and contain little information, or they contain too much useless information. The idea is to create a simple and straightforward press kit. Here are some tips to help you create one.

Steps

1. 1 Make sure your press kit has the following information: contact details, curriculum vitae, photographs, people's recommendations about your work, information about you in the press, information about your exhibitions, concerts (if possible), as well as links to your professional activities (audio, video, images or texts).
   • Contact Information: It should clearly state where you can be found, phone numbers, email addresses, mailing address and a link to your website (if you have one).
2. 2 Briefly describe your biography. It should include information about where you currently live and a short essay about your professional activities. For musicians or bands - it is also necessary to include information about all band members and the instruments they play. Don't write a lot of text. There is no need to talk about the difficulties that you had to face, or other insignificant information - which may not be interesting.
3. 3 Provide links related to your professional activities: links to your video and audio recordings. For models, photographers and artists, you must provide links to photos. Make sure all links are working and the content is good quality.
4. 4 Add professional photos. This is especially true for rock bands, actors or models. Try to take professional pictures, attach 2-3 photos to the press kit.
5. 5 Provide some testimonials from professionals in your field who have something positive to say about your work. Don't offer testimonials from your friends or family members. If you are just starting out, you can ask for feedback from your teachers or professors.
6. 6 Add links for mentioning you in the press (if any).
7. 7 Provide information about your past or upcoming concert, tour or show.

Tips
