Here is what the industry says about us

EMM offer the most competitive prices in the marketplace, coupled with a 360 degree service for the live music sector. Gareth is the only industry executive I know that works the same crazy hours I do to deliver the best possible service to his clients!

 

Richard Beck – Supernova Entertainment

I thoroughly enjoy working with EMM. They free up both my time and that of the office. They maintain our confidentially, which is vital and keep you up to date with both the proposal stage and throughout the booking. You know they’re working on your behalf, but won’t make any decisions without your approval.

 

Danny Betesh – Kennedy Street

It has been a real asset having a company like Event and Music Media that can handle all aspects of radio co-promotions for us. We feel our radio campaigns are safe in their hands.

 

Tony Denton – TDP

You know, when you pick up the phone, that EMM will be honest with you. They’re a great team to work with, always come up with solutions and always make my deadlines. All this and a good sense of humour too; I’d recommend them to anyone. We need to work with people who understand our business and the guys at EMM get it.

 

Annette Robinson – ITB

Having worked with EMM for almost 4 years now, I can honestly say that they are one of the most motivated and positive agencies I have had the pleasure of working with.As an agency they always strive to obtain the best possible solution for their clients by understanding the stations and their audiences. Even though they always have in mind what they need from me, they are always open to any solutions we may have, understanding that we know how to best reach our audience.
As a station we’re always thrilled when we get to brand many great events and appreciate when EMM go above and beyond by providing opportunities for competitions and interviews which we are always happy to host as part of the campaign.
The guys themselves are very professional and friendly ..albeit slightly crazy at times, but who isn’t in the world of media! I look forward to continue to work with you all in the future.

 

Victoria Beynon – Sponsorship & Promotions Executive – KISS 101

EMM have worked with 104.7 Minster FM for as long as we can remember. We Love ‘em. They send us bookings, do most of the work, get speedy script sign off, tickets arrive on time and are totally low-maintenance. In fact we want more EMM bookings! Sadly the diminishing concert venues in North Yorkshire seen bookings drop but Gareth, Jayne and Sam are like family and keep in touch anyway!

 

Bridget Davies, Managing Director – 104.7 Minster FM

Jazz FM enjoys working with the team at EMM – not only are they a great bunch, they always help us to get the balance right between achieving a clients objectives and maintaining station credibility.

 

Loren Eley, Sponsorship & Promotions Manager – Jazz FM

Our everyday working life wouldn’t quite be the same without EMM! We have been fortunate to have worked with the team since they started out. The growth of EMM is true testament to Jayne and Gareth’s hard work, determination and passion for both radio and the co-promotions business. Long may it continue!

 

Clare Esner, Group Co-Promotions Manager – GMG Radio

EMM are experts in their field, this being a small field outside Stockport that a promoter thinks will hold at least 20,000 people! In all seriousness they are very knowledgeable about the aims of their clients and the limitations and desires of the multitudes of UK radio stations they deal with on a regular basis. There are few others that can compete with their encyclopaedic knowledge of UK radio and have experience of dealing both with major groups serving millions and community stations broadcasting to a niche audience of hundreds. EMM treat us with respect even when we don’t deserve it and are always looking for the best solution for all events. Frankly they know more about radio than I do, and way more about it than any of their clients – people employ them for their knowledge and their creativity comes as a bonus.

 

Paul Flower, Music Promotions Consultant, Absolute Radio

Working with Event and Music Media has been very productive and successful. They proved to be an invaluable channel for Dublin’s Q102 to partner with high profile gigs. Even though they are based in the UK it wasn’t once a deterrent for UTV Radio. All the team are an absolute pleasure to work with. I found them all proactive and a lot of fun! I love their bubbly nature and enthusiasm. Well done guys and I look forward to working with you on events in the future

 

Grainne Kelly – UTV Radio, Dublin

When we began working with the guys at EMM we weren’t expecting any difference from the many agencies that we have dealt with ….. we couldn’t have been more wrong!
Efficient, flexible, knowledgeable of us as a radio station , open and generous …… all of these mean that we enjoy working with EMM and hope to do so for the considerable future. EMM rocks and we love em!

 

Graham Lysaght, Commercial Director – JACK fm & FM107.9

Highly professional and efficient are words that we here at Global take very seriously and would love to use when describing EMM… and luckily we can!
Having worked with them since their launch, their approach and understanding towards radio is refreshing and has been paramount in creating truly great radio solutions for their clients across all Global Radio stations. We genuinely feel they are as close to our brands as we are, which makes both our lives a lot easier and to top it all off they are great fun to deal with. (But don’t tell them we said that!)

 

Rhett Middleton, Group Head – Co-Promotions – Global Radio

What can I say? it’s always a pleasure working with you guys and I mean that sincerely. Nothing is too much bother and you are always very fair. We enjoy the relationship we have with every member of the team at EMM and over the years I would go as far to say that you guys have become friends as well as clients.

 

Sharon O’Rourke, Sponsorship & Promotions Manager – Radio Clyde Ltd

Wave 105 has been working with EMM since they first formed the business, and it quickly became clear that Gareth and Jayne’s extensive experience in the radio industry would prove invaluable to their clients. In a commercial world where staffing levels for any business have to be efficiently set, many promoters sometimes just didn’t have the time to keep on top of a Radio industry that changes with alarming frequency and pace. However EMM plug that gap with extremely high service levels, always ensuring that they are completely abreast of the industry, and using volume deals to demand the best rates from it. This of course in turn ensures that promoters can have 100% faith that every penny is being spent in the right places, and as wisely as possible. The profit line depends on it after all

 

Keith Penny, Sponsorship, Promotions & Events Director – Wave 105.2

I have worked with Gareth and Jayne at EMM since they started the business way back in 2004, both at Radio Clyde and West Sound Radio..it makes it easy for us to have a one stop shop who has direct access to the concert promoters. Gareth and Jayne both totally understand the market and have innovative ideas on how to keep co-promotions fresh and successful! Keep up the good work guys!

 

Brenda Ritchie, Station Director – West Sound/West FM.

Having worked with EMM over a number of years, as a media company we have always found their approach professional and proactive. They are fun to work with and their insight into the live music industry, along with co-promotions, is a real advantage.

 

Scott Thompson, Head of Co-promotions – Bauer Media

Love them EMM lot!

 

Jimmy Young, Sponsorship, Promotions & Events Account Manager – Wave 105
