BizLounge, Overtone partner in Access the Industry service upgrade
Bizcommunity.com's BizLounge is partnering with entertainment management company Overtone in the launch of its latest offering - the Access the Industry account - as well in a number of efforts going forward. Providing media support for the initiative, the BizLounge will keep readers updated with Overtone news and activities.
During April 2010 all new and existing account holders on Overtone.co.za will have access to a 30-day trial upgrade available for free, after which users will be required to pay for the service (R150 once-off account/R50 monthly top-up account - per year).
"We're excited to extend our relationship with Overtone to a formal partnership. Our alliance will mean more support for the entertainment industry through meaningful collaborations and projects. The BizLounge has always aimed to provide a platform for South African musicians, in particular, to promote themselves as well as the industry as a whole. We look forward to an enterprising partnership with Overtone," say BizLounge content managers and contributors Sindy Peters and Ruth Cooper.

It is an effort to stimulate growth within the entertainment industry by providing trial upgrades worth R1.5 million for 10 000 account holders. The upgraded account allows users access to the Overtone industry contact database, as well as contact details for entertainers, venues, freelancers, companies and service providers.
“The industry comes together and gets connected in a meaningful and proactive bid to grow the industry and make great entertainment happen. By looking at existing networks, career development, and artist promotions, we can really grow the South African music and entertainment industry. It's fantastic to see Bizcommunity's BizLounge taking such an active role and supporting the independent music industry. We are looking forward to working with them closely and looking forward to the road ahead,” said GM of Overtone, Magdalena Zukowski.
The Industry Access account aims to revolutionise the way promoters and event organisers book entertainment, the way band managers access industry resources, and how industry professionals develop their careers and network in the industry. The Overtone platform provides ongoing promotion for local entertainers, as well as decreases the related costs and time required of event management and artist bookings.
