There are a lot of unrealistic
expectations in the arts. One of the most widespread is the illusion
that once you’ve toiled in the darkness of your bedroom, studio, garage,
you’re a few short steps from recognition and fame. There’s a belief
that talent coupled with a little exposure assures recognition,
financial stability and career longevity.
You’ve got the talent, so where do you
get the exposure? Surely, after all the effort you’ve put into
creating, someone can help with the impure, practical side of the
industry. Big names have publicists to champion their cause, someone
like Stacey Piggott, Director of publicity agency Two Fish Out of Water, to propel you into the public eye.
