An EPK (Electronic Press Kit) is one of the most essential tools for artists to present and promote their work. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to write a strong bio, build a compelling press kit, and talk about your project in a confident, exciting way that makes people want to work with you. We’ll break down the key elements of a standout EPK — from bios and project descriptions to images, video, and elevator pitches — and then put that knowledge into action in a collaborative EPK lab. You’ll get real-time feedback, personalized support, and leave with a working draft you can continue to build on. Bring any drafts or materials you already have — and get ready to do the work.

Um als Künstler:in erfolgreich zu sein, ist eine starke Strategie, wie Artists die Beziehungen zu Fans, Audience und Partner:innen gestalten, eines der grundlegenden Elemente Deiner Musikkarriere. Die größten Künstler:innen der Welt zeigen, dass der Weg an die Spitze kein Zufall, sondern vielmehr Resultat harter Arbeit ist, die eine klare Grundlage, eine strategische Gesamtperspektive und intelligentes Handeln für eine starke Artist Brand erfordert. Im Rahmen des Workshops lernen die Teilnehmenden, was eine Markenstrategie für Künstler:innen ist, wie man eine solche Strategie erarbeitet und schließlich zum Leben erweckt.
Der Workshop ist in zwei Teile gegliedert: Im ersten Teil werden zunächst unterschiedlichen Begriffe aus den Bereichen Marke, Identität und Strategie unterschieden, gefolgt von einer Einführung in das Grundkonzept der Markenstrategie für Künstler:innen im Allgemeinen, sowie in die Zielgruppe und die Notwendigkeit eine Strategie zu entwickeln. Zum Abschluss des ersten Teils wird das Artist Brand Canvas (ABC) als praktisches Instrument für die Entwicklung vonMarkenstrategien für Künstler:innen vorgestellt.
Der zweite Teil konzentriert sich auf den Prozess der Entwicklung der Strategie. Teilnehmende werden zunächst mit der internen und externen Situationsanalyse, sowie der SWOT-Analyse vertraut gemacht. Um den Grundstein für den eigentlichen Strategieentwicklungsprozess zu legen, werden die Teilnehmenden in die Konzepte des Golden Circle von Sinek sowie in die Identitätsbasierte Markenführung von Burmann als zugrunde liegende wissenschaftliche Modelle eingeführt. Nach Abschluss der Definition der Identität der Künstler:innenmarke werden Messaging und Story der Brand entwickelt und auf die passenden Brand Touchpoints abgestimmt.

Small and medium venues provide an important infrastructure for music culture in the city. They organize space and atmospheres for artists to play live, create community around music, and are also particularly important as an experimental ground for upcoming artists. We zoom into the Kiez of Berlin Wedding/Gesundbrunnen, and bring together people who run such spaces here and present each week concerts, listening sessions, DJ sets and performances on a regular basis. They all have different ways of organizing, some are collectively run, and they all have different approaches, strategies and communities – however all connected by enthusiasm to support and sustain music culture and provide space to develop and to play for artists, in self-organized and independent ways.
What does it take to run such crucial infrastructure for music culture in the city and neighbourhood these days? We look forward for an exchange of different approaches. And, importantly, also invite musicians into the conversation to discuss and think together what is needed at this time, and share ideas for how to sustain music culture and support upcoming artists in particular. What does it take to sustain a vibrant music culture and space for artistic development, expression and exchange? What are we struggling with and how can we address it? How do we want to organize ourselves together as music scenes at this moment in time, that comes with political, economic and environmental challenges? And maybe also, what is the relevance of music culture as a contribution and component of a wider cultural, social and political engagement in the neighbourhood?
We plan to start with a panel conversation and then have a participatory part, where we can all be in conversation together in small groups. We can then all keep chatting and exchanging over music and drinks. The conversation is of relevance for the neighbourhood in Wedding and for all smaller venues, collectives, promoters and musicians throughout the city and beyond.
