Red Boot PR

Red Boot PR was established in 2009 with the intention to approach music marketing and public relations with transparency, positivity, and a nurturing, family-like vibe. Our artists have been featured in notable publications including Billboard, Paste, NPR, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, Vanity Fair, BuzzFeed, VICE, Refinery29, Indie Shuffle, Entertainm... ent Tonight and Us Weekly, among many others. Red Boot clients also appeared on the TODAY Show, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, the Ellen DeGeneres Show and Last Call with Carson Daly. While our roster included a few artists on major labels, Red Boot was, at its core, an ally for independent artists. We focused on development and strategy (ideal for those without a big team behind the curtain), and in 2014 Examiner.com named us "Best PR For Indie Artists. After 10 amazing years advocating for independent artists, we closed up shop in the fall of 2019. While Red Boot is no longer accepting new clients, our founder (a.k.a. "Big Kahuna"), , is always happy to offer publicist recommendations. She is available forone-on-one consulting sessions.

Laura has supported hundreds of artists around the world, helping them turn their career goals into reality and encouraging them to dream even bigger.
