It's easy enough to spot the Strokes and the White Stripes after they happen. And if you want to be affiliated with them, you pay the price. But do you know who the next ones are? With Jampacks, you don't have to. We find the bands, put together the compilation, and affiliate your brand with great local music. Music that local fans associate with their hometown. Bands that will one day make it big, possibly because they were able to hand out their music for free to 50,000 fans.

And at these shows are a special kind of person. A trendsetter. A sneezer. A first-mover. Someone, just like us, who knows who the next generation of rock stars are.

Sponsoring Jampacks exposes you to this person a number of ways, allowing your brand name to be seen and heard multiple times. First, each of fifteen bands sends out hundreds of emails and thousands flyers before each of many local shows which mentions your brand name or contains your logo. Then, at the show, the band mentions that your sponsored Jampacks CD is available for the taking at the merchandise table. Within the Jampacks CD, a poster with your full page ad on the back as well as a small ad on the back of the booklet and a logo on the CD gives each fan a permanent reminder of your affiliation with their favorite band, and the fourteen others they have the opportunity to check out. Add the possibility of getting more free music through your website, and this promotion becomes powerful as well as trackable.
