Higher Level Mastering
Higher Level Mastering delivers audio mastering services from the world’s first pop-up mastering studio. Its mission is to empower record labels, producers and artists to achieve a world-class sound at rates they can afford.
By installing the studio in unused, low-cost spaces in the heart of Bristol, founder Henry Bainbridge is able to cut the overheads of traditional music studios and deliver top-tier digital and analogue mastering at a saving of 25 to 50% on normal rates.
What did they need?
Henry needed to raise the capital to get his pop-up studio off the ground. He came to us for a complete package of services to launch and run a Kickstarter campaign.
How did we respond?
We worked with Henry to flesh out his brand identity before putting together a tight crowdfunding pitch, pinning down the most compelling angle for his campaign story and the best strategy for his fundraising targets and rewards. We then provided all the creative assets and support needed to achieve campaign success, including:
- Clear, emotive Kickstarter content
- Powerful PR media relations
Impact
Our PR activity created a real online buzz, securing press coverage in some of the music industries leading publications – including Fact magazine, Crack magazine and IDM.
Thanks to our support, Henry hit his stretch target of £5,000 – enough to launch the studio with upgraded technology.
Henry has been running Higher Level Mastering from this studio now for the past 4 years and continues to be a success.
