Zebra Entertainment Group works closely with the best live music consultancies in the USA, UK and Africa, to acquire talent, market concerts, and organize events. Booking artists requires a great deal of experience and expertise, which is why it is so important to have the correct assistance when proceeding into the contracting, negotiation and offer phases that coincide with booking an artist. Our team can also assist and advise in cases where event proposals are submitted to us and upon assessment, can recommend an appropriate act that will ensure the success of your event and epitomize your vision.
Forward thinking record labels and management understand that a truly global artist will achieve 60% of total worldwide album sales outside of their home country, those numbers will reflect – with the right set-up – in concert tickets, merchandise sales and brand opportunities. There could be many artists, if they had bought in a broader vision that could have fulfilled their potential and achieved worldwide success. This makes them determined now to open up their plans to international markets and work harder on their global exposure. Africa now is one of the fastest growing spaces where people are thirsty to see their favorite acts live and upfront and where artists can appreciate the climate.
Putting on ground breaking, fun, memorable events is not where we stop, we think further – building long-term sustainable and mutually successful relationships. For example, album campaigns need a formula; advance music, artist/management buy-in, label sign-off, approx. 8 – 10 weeks of international promotion per year for an artist over a three single campaign. A strategic tour initially will not only boost the campaign but generate truly loyal fans. Once the artist brand has begun to develop further in the country they appear we can facilitate in seeking out brand partnership opportunities, first through the local label affiliates to balance any political issues and then with our own direct third party relationships to maximize the available financial upside for our acts.
All of the above create opportunities to increase sales for merchandise, concert tickets, VIP tickets, meet & greets, private shows, corporate events, and the list goes on.
We also thoroughly understand the process of booking artists and talent, it starts with an inquiry which gives the entertainment agent an idea of your event style, budget, dates, and other key information they need to accept an offer for the artist. The official offer will be discussed to present to the artists. Upon the artist’s acceptance of said offer, contracts are issued and deposits are scheduled for payment. While the steps appear simple, the details within each step can be very complex and must be handled with the most delicate care to insure that all sides of the negotiation are happy, respected, and properly represented. We work at the highest level and boast the strongest trusted relationships built from experience, credibility and integrity.
We truly look forward to working with you.
