FanGeek utilizes tailored, client-specific strategies to connect artists with their fans through social media and personal appearances.
In an era of anytime/anywhere media, there’s really no such thing as downtime for artists. From official websites to X (formally known as Twitter), from Facebook to Instagram and Pinterest to pop-culture, science-fiction and horror conventions, fans expect to be able to connect with their heroes on multiple levels.
That’s where FanGeek comes in, with proven strategies that impact and motivate fans while broadening and elevating artists’ reach. Clients inevitably see a ripple effect from our work—longer lines at cons after posting about their upcoming appearances lead to higher follower numbers, which leads to more online chatter about their next projects, which drums up more followers and longer lines at cons. Everything circles back unto itself, as we like to tell clients—and we’ll work with you to keep those circles working together, in harmony.
