Rise To The Beat (sidebar)



Adam Gandy is the man in charge of all things dealing with advertising, marketing and promotional work that surround The Movement. He posts daily updates on the top social networking sites, including Facebook, MySpace and Twitter.

This way, fans are able to stay up-to-date in regards to recent happenings and tour information. Internet sites, like the ones mentioned above, are just an incredible way to advertise and promote.

Gandy also heads up a group of dedicated fans called The Movement Street Team. People from all over sign up to be a part of this promotional team whose purpose is to further spread the sound of The Movement.

Two weeks prior to a show, Street Teamers customize and print flyers from The Movement’s Official Web site. Flyers include venue information like the ‘Who’ ‘What’ ‘When’ and ‘Where’. Then they must post them in high-visibility places like music stores, surf and skate shops and college campuses.

In order to be praised for doing a job well-done, Street Teamers are required to forward pictures of themselves next to the flyers hung around the various locations. Gandy then rewards them with 2 free tickets to the upcoming show.

Members are also encouraged to create events and groups using Facebook and MySpace. After all, every little bit counts.

The Movement’s Official Web site provides listeners with a brief history of the band, song lyrics and tour information. The Web site also includes a place for fans to interact with the guys and with other Movement listeners, through the use of discussion boards. People can post memories they have shared with the band and even give feedback on past shows.

The Movement also encourages fans to vote for their favorite song or choose from a list of other bands they hope to the see the guys on tour with some time in future. There is also a section of items for sale for those who wish to flaunt their love for The Movement. They have T-shirts, stickers and CD’s for sale.

Not to forget, the best part of the website, the tons of pictures and videos shared between concert-goers from all over. Live concert videos line the homepage, giving visitors a little taste of The Movement’s sound, along with a little taste of their personality too.

Help spread The Movement vibe and become a member of The Movement Street Team!
