"I’m relieved to see that Presskit.to has created a solution that, unlike other EPK services, isn't covered in ads or trying to do too many different things. These press kits look sleek and go above and beyond in creating that all important first impression."

Presskit.to, a professional portfolio solution for the music industry, launches into public beta today. Presskit.to is a mobile-ready marketing tool which empowers musicians and music professionals to organize, protect, and share their work on-the-go, enhancing professional interaction both online and in person. Since its private beta launch at SXSW 2012, the product has already been embraced by musicians like VANS Warped Tour veterans Big D & The Kids Table, creative management firms including the Complex Music Group and Unicum Music, and music institutions such as the Berklee College of Music. Presskit.to launches with a multi-tiered subscription model including a free Starter plan, as well as an introductory lifetime offer of $1.99 a month for a Pro account.

Presskit.to has a number of standout features to distinguish it from its competitors. Key features include storage for downloadable files, including press releases, biographies, stage plots, logos, and photos; individual privacy settings and expiration dates to protect unreleased and time-sensitive media and files; a WINS section summarizing key achievements; and full integration with SoundCloud, YouTube and Vimeo, creating a single, digital deliverable. Everything is manageable from a centralized dashboard which houses multiple portfolios under a single login and is easily accessed and shared via one, mobile-ready personalized URL (www.presskit.to/YOU). Indie Ambassador CEO Ben Maitland-Lewis says: “The way we interact and network has evolved. At Indie Ambassador we identified a need for a tool that would provide a one-stop, on-the-go solution for our peers to manage and promote their professional identities - a digital business card for the 21st century.”

Since its private beta launch at SXSW 2012, the Presskit.to user base has grown to nearly 800 musicians, producers, DJs, agents, managers, publicists, writers, promoters, and other music professionals. Its new multi-tiered subscription model currently offers two options:
• Starter - 1 free mobile-ready Presskit with unlimited Wins and SoundCloud sync.
• Pro - 10 mobile-ready Presskits with 1GB of file storage, private media and file sharing, unlimited Wins, and SoundCloud sync. This is available at a limited-time offer of $1.99 per month (reg. $9.99).

Further product developments, partnerships, and updates for Presskit.to will be announced in the coming months. This includes the highly anticipated Enterprise account for certain music professionals, a tool which will allow bloggers, journalists, and venue owners to access a centralized dashboard of meaningful artist information - enabling them to spend less time researching and more time writing and promoting.
