FCM072 – Marketing Church Music with Chris Estes of Bethel Music

Welcome to our Songs for the Church series! This week we have Chris Estes, VP of Bethel Music in Redding, California.

Chris grew up in New Orleans and quickly developed a love for Jazz and Metallica (like peanut butter and jelly)! He soon found himself in college for marketing and played in a few bands to keep his musical engine going. Soon after he began road managing a few bands from college for a few years, found a new life in the Lord, and began managing digital marketing for Integrity music in 2005. Shortly following his career there, he began digital marketing for Hillsong, then Hillsong United, and then Hillsong London. After his seven-year journey with Integrity and Hillsong, he began taking over digital marketing for Bethel Church.

In this episode, Chris tells us how the digital marketing role has changed since he started with Integrity Music and gives deep insight into how you can boost your online following and create great content for the web (what makes more and more people interested in your music). Chris will dive into his own strategies for us to take away and help grow our own audience.

Om Podcasten

Many want to "make it" in the music industry. Few successfully make it in. Even fewer stay in. The goal of this podcast is to help bring some clarity to your path towards a music career. We want to help you not only get in, but stay in. To this end, hosts Seth Mosley and X O'Connor will dig deep with luminaries of the music industry. These are people who have "made it" and today have very notable careers. Many are Grammy winners and work with prominent record labels. Some of our listeners might be on the creative side as a songwriter, artist, producer, or engineer. Others might be on the business side interested in marketing, management, A&R, or radio. The "Made It In Music Podcast" is designed to serve both sides; we are certain you will find a place in this community. How do you get a record deal, get a hit artist to cut your song, build fans, or get on tours? We tackle these questions and more. Before you know it, you will be able to say that you too have "Made It In Music!" Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
