“This all started with our passion for championing Australian music that we love, and we’re fortunate to be in a position to be able to give back to our community, connect dots and provide advice for artists on their journeys,” Chief Operating Officer Rick Bridgman said in a press statement.
“It’s challenging to catch a break in today’s climate, so we’re truly stoked with this years offering and linking up on a bigger pack with our partners.”
While Sydney punk star PENI PARKER, the recipient of last year’s prize, said winning the Greater Good initiative helped change the trajectory of her whole EP campaign.
“Good Intent supported me with the first single ‘Disrupt’, giving me some great advice, a huge insight into digital marketing and really started me off with some big wins with playlisting, radio play, some fun interviews and even rotation on triple j Unearthed,” she reflected.
“It really was a total package though; a dream to work with Billy Zammit, who helped bring to life my visual concepts. Ben helped rework my logo and a huge shout out to Make Merchandise too, always love working with that team. Every single element of the prize was so helpful to my year and allowed me to get to work with creatives, that I normally wouldn’t have the budget for as a fresh artist.”
Designed to provide a launchpad for exceptional emerging artists to kickstart their career, the Greater Good Initiative is open to all independent Australian artists. Applications are open now, and will close on Thursday, 28th September at 5PM AEST. You can head here for more info, or to apply.
Good Intent first launched in late-2018 and offers a range of artist services, with their management roster boasting the names of Bootleg Rascal, FANGZ, Close Counters and more.
They Marrickville-based agency also recently announced its 5th birthday party, taking place at Brisbane’s BIGSOUND conference next week, where GM Rob Carroll will attempt to break the Guinness World Record for ‘longest dancing of the Macarena’.
