The Perception
Some data-driven decision makers might see lack of representation as evidence that female artists aren’t worth investing in.
“Female artists aren’t represented enough in the UK, because they’re either not good enough, or because there isn’t an audience for them. So why not follow the trend?"
What We Think
For us at Align Agency, the lack of British female artists at the top is an indication of a gap in the market - a hugely under addressed business opportunity in the UK music industry.
Our Mission
Align Agency’s mission is to help businesses create more successful female artists in the UK & global music industry.
Through our integrated marketing strategies and campaign planning, Align Agency harnesses the power of female storytelling and builds brands that audiences can see themselves in and who they are inspired and empowered by.
We aspire to help businesses strike while the iron is hot and take advantage of the opportunity to better connect their female artists with ravenous, untapped audiences - building long term music careers in the process.
