MISSION
IMPORT SOUND AND VISION
can get your artists music videos viewed by millions of potential
customers. We have strong relationships with programmers at PromoOnly,
Screenplay Inc., Rockamerica, DMX, bpm:tv Canada, A3 TV, ADD-TV and Logo (MTV).
These leading media network companies are in
the business of distribution, display and management of dynamic in-store
entertainment, merchandising and advertising solutions to the retail and hospitality
markets. We work hand in hand with these companies to give your artists the maximum exposure
and promotion through video broadcast in the retail and hospitality markets (i.e. stores,
bars, clubs, restaurants) as well as on TV networks who specialize in
music video programs.
When music videos started back in
the early 80's, Billboard Magazine estimated that consistent
exposure on MTV was boosting record sales by 15 to 20%. Now
today in 2006 visual media's influence on the music scene is
greater than ever. Many music buyers find out about new music
from television, the internet and multimedia sources, more so
than radio.
We have found from many years of
experience, that artist visibility through music video often
leads to sales for the record and increase interest for the
artist. We are strong advocates of keeping the music industry
fresh and alive by creating a platform where the artist can be
seen and heard. We also provide many helpful links to the record
label, the artist web site, the director web site and where you
can find more information or buy the record. This type of
networking has proven to be very effective and has lead to many
success stories for our partners.
Our easy-to-use web site will provide you with
the programming information you need to track our progress with your
artists.
We make it easier for both the network companies and the record companies to expose
them to new talent. So if you are shooting music videos for your artists,
you should consider our services to help get your videos aired.
HISTORY
In December 2002, Import Sound And Vision was established as a division of Dance Zone Productions, following some
managerial and promotional work done for the Rimini
Project, a band on Sony Music,
Austria. Nivek Tek and Frederic Oudoul, founders of ISV
Entertainment (formerly Dance Zone Productions), soon realized the lack of European dance music videos
in US video pools and TV stations.
They decided to put their extensive contacts with European producers and record companies to good use by bringing in the hottest, newest, and freshest dance music videos and artists from around the world, thus benefiting all the major leading US media network companies, their
subscribers and the artists.
Since 2002, Import Sound And Vision has been trusted by more
than 100 labels as well as many artists and managers eager to benefit from the incredible
exposure we make available to them. |
