About Ground Lift Media:
Founded in 2006, Ground Lift Media is an event production, PR/marketing , a&r company which targets and works within the many progressive, tastemaker niche demographics of urban culture. This is achieved by crafting sponsor-specific events, heavily marketed, conceptualized, and branded towards tastemakers, featuring an immersive A/V experience tailored for the desired niche demographic(s).
By defining trends and strategically partnering with key influencers in media, music, and urban culture-based industries, Ground Lift Media creates synergy between brands desiring exposure to tastemakers, and artists whose followings are comprised of those same tastemakers. This result is supplemented by intensive, market-specific promotion comprised of both street-level, and online-based campaigns.
