CMU Planner
Five Day Forecast – w/c 19 Dec 2011
By Andy Malt | Published on Monday 19 December 2011
It’s Christmas this week. This actual week. But there is still work to be done, like putting together the final Five Day Forecast column of 2011. As precisely nothing is happening this week apart from Christmas parties, I thought I’d use it to tell you about some upcoming CMU-related stuff. There’s also one exciting new project I’m not allowed to tell you about just yet, so stay tuned for that in the new year.
01: CMU Review Of The Year. This Friday there will be no CMU Daily, but we’re not shirking our responsibilities and putting our feet up. In place of the Daily, you’ll receive our Review Of The Year, a look back at the biggest artist, music business, media and internet stories of 2011. As well as that, we’ll have a playlist featuring all ten of our Artists Of The Year.
02: The Great Escape 2012. CMU will be programming the Great Escape convention in Brighton again this May. In fact, we’ve already started, and have got some exciting announcements about speakers coming up in the new year. Look out for that, they are exciting. Of course, you could just take my word for it and book your tickets right now. That can be done at www.escapegreat.com.
03: CMU Podcast. The last CMU podcast of the year went out last week, but in January it will be back and will turn one year old too. It’s been a lot of fun doing the podcast over the last twelve months, and hopefully it’s developed into something both informative and fun. If you haven’t checked it out yet, you can listen back through the archive here and subscribe to automatically receive it every week via iTunes here.
04: CMU Training. Since launching CMU Training in 2010 our courses have gone from strength to strength and become very popular across the music industry and beyond. As a result, we’ll be stepping up the frequency of our three courses in 2012, and our sister training company UnLimited Insights will be launching a line of courses for PR people too. Look out for an email on all that later this week.
05: Other UnLimited websites. In the new year, CMU will have two more sister websites for you to enjoy. First up, PR news and tips bulletin esPResso, published by UnLimited for PR recruitment experts Unicorn Jobs, is getting a fully fledged website all of its own. It’s been in beta for a couple of months now, and goes properly live over the Christmas break, providing news, tips, links and views on PR, media, communications and marketing. Meanwhile, keep an eye out for This Week In London, UnLimited’s new culture new website for the capital, with news, tips and talk on all things art, comedy theatre and music. Look out for links to both in the Daily in the new year.
And don’t forget, we’ll be running through the last three of our Artists Of The Year on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of this week. Who’s left? Take a look at who we’ve announced so far and see if you can guess.
