Variance Magazine just released their Sophomore Issue with a bang. The Goo Goo Dolls graced the cover and the issue was filled with captivating articles on some industry movers and shakers.
By far the biggest response we received was from the fan base of Cobus Potgieter. Within 10 minutes of Cobus posting on Facebook and Twitter the website was shut down due to the amount of traffic that was trying to access the issue at once. We were overwhelmed but in a good way.
This is a new experiment from Tate Publishing and Tate Music Group that is proving to be a success. As of today, which is 5 full days after the magazine released we have had 74,751 unique views. The big draws are obviously articles on artists the majority of the public have heard about (Goo Goo Dolls, Underoath, The Spill Canvas, Cobus Potgieter). We use those articles to drive attention to our artists. In this issue you can see TMG artists such as Jeff Chandler, Chuck Tocco, The Fab Rudies, Michelle Buzz, Vanessa Vasquez to name a few.
The best way I can describe the benefit of this publication is that the above mentioned TMG artist have just received 74,751 impressions in the last 5 days that wouldn't have been their without it. Tate Music Group is continually looking for ways to publicize and promote our artists, Variance Magazine is just another idea that we've executed. If you take a look at www.variancemagazine.com you will notice a tab named "Variance TV" which is underway now!
