Put On BLAST!

The Trusted #ArtAndActivism Digital Marketing Service, Established 1997.

Put On BLAST! (aka POB!) is AKILA WORKSONGS’s free subscription-based digital marketing service. We promote events and services to a loyal network of people interested in what we call arts and activism content.

The content ranges from art exhibitions, live concerts, theater productions, booksignings, film screenings, community gatherings, social justice calls-to-action, and much more.

Most POB! subscribers live and work in the New York/New Jersey, Washington, D.C. regions, and in other urban centers, including Atlanta, Oakland, Los Angeles, and Chicago.

BUT WAIT!

We're not for everybody. We service clients who are thoughtfully aligned with content that ranges from being inspirational and progressive to cutting-edge and daring.
Our POB! newsletters are singularly focused (which means we don't bombard readers with an overwhelming amount of mix-matched content).
Cross-promotions with major cultural arts institutions in New York are built-in features for select packages.

POB! Digital (Email + Social Media + SMS)

NEW! Our reach of our subscribers and followers (email, social media, and SMS) hovers around 205K contacts* and our delivery, open, and click-through rates are above average for our field. Most of our contacts are people of African Ancestry in the United States and mostly GenX and Millennial artists and activists. Again, we're selective in accepting clients and we take great care when we craft campaigns. So if we feel right, contact us today, and let's see if we're a match. Email us at: putonblast@akilaworksongs.com.
