MANAGEMENT

ELIACCI—A Legacy in the making

Let's make ELIACCI a movement

 

Step 1: Build Your Core Team

To succeed at the level you’re aiming for, you need a small but strategic team. Here are the key roles and their responsibilities:

1. Brand Manager – This person secures brand deals and sponsorships. Their job is to position ELIACCI as a valuable brand asset to companies. They’ll target lifestyle, fashion, beverage, and tech companies that align with your image.

How to find one: Start with outreach to smaller boutique agencies or independent brand consultants. You can also approach industry networking sites like LinkedIn or creative communities like Upwork.

2. Business Manager – Handles your finances, ensures you get paid properly, and manages long-term investments and expenses.

How to handle this without hiring: If you can’t afford one now, set up a business account and use a basic bookkeeping service like Wave or QuickBooks. For now, you can oversee this role yourself but document all cash flow meticulously.

3. Booking Agent – Responsible for securing gigs, from local venues to international tours. They handle contracts, travel, and rider agreements.

How to find one: Instead of a full-time agent, approach local promoters directly. Reach out to club owners and event organizers via social media or email.

4. Talent Agent – Secures movie roles, commercials, and acting gigs.

How to start: Without a talent agent, you can target casting calls and creative job boards directly (like Backstage) and contact agencies like CAA or UTA with a professional EPK (electronic press kit).

5. Investor/Financial Backer – The person or entity that gives you the initial capital to grow.

How to handle this now: Focus on high-net-worth individuals or angel investors in the music space. Create a pitch deck showing why ELIACCI is an investment opportunity. (We can build a sample deck if you want.)

6. Creative Director – Oversees your artistic direction, including songwriting, visual aesthetic, and brand consistency.

Right now: Since you are ELIACCI, you handle this role yourself. But you can collaborate with freelance songwriters or producers to sharpen the artistic vision.

 

Step 2: Strategic Investment of $2,000

If you secure $2,000, here’s how to deploy it strategically:

$500 – Digital Ad Campaign:

Focus on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts.
Target music fans in your genre and locations where similar artists are thriving.
Focus on “investment” messaging—frame ELIACCI as a high-value artist and future icon.
$500 – PR Outreach:

Hire a music PR freelancer (on Fiverr or Upwork) to write and send press releases to blogs, music websites, and local radio stations.
Target blogs like Pitchfork and Fader to get traction with tastemakers.
$500 – Influencer Seeding:

Pay micro-influencers (10K–50K followers) to post clips of your music.
Prioritize those in the Caribbean, Afrobeat, and urban music niches.
$500 – Live Performance Strategy:

Book a small live showcase (even virtually) and invite local media, promoters, and tastemakers.
Use this event to create more content and buzz.

 

Step 3: How to Handle the Website Traffic Problem

1. Retargeting Ads:

Set up Facebook Pixel and Google Analytics on your website.
Retarget anyone who visited the site with a new ad showing your brand and exclusivity.

2. Email Capture Strategy:

Create a “Join the Movement” email list directly on your site.
Offer exclusive content (like an unreleased song snippet or behind-the-scenes video) in exchange for signing up.

3. Affiliate or Partner Boost:

Partner with smaller music platforms or curators who will promote you in exchange for exclusive early access to your music or merch.

 

Step 4: Why Not to Spend on a Video Yet

1. A music video doesn’t create organic growth without an audience already in place.

2. Instead, use the funds to build the brand, audience, and visibility.

3. Once you have organic traffic and engagement, a video will have higher ROI because it will reach a larger, targeted audience.

 

Step 5: Techniques to Start Building Momentum Immediately

1. Focus on Exclusivity and Scarcity:

Limited edition merch, VIP access to new music, and exclusive live streams.
Make people feel they’re investing in an exclusive opportunity.

2. Target Music Curators and DJs:

Send your music to Spotify and Apple Music curators directly through platforms like SubmitHub.
Build relationships with local and internet radio stations.

3. Strategic Collabs:

Find independent artists with a similar fanbase and cross-promote through a shared song or event.

4. Create Controversy or Intrigue:

Drop mysterious social media posts about ELIACCI’s rise without over-explaining.
Build curiosity about the mystery behind ELIACCI’s identity.

5. Leverage Early Fans:

Identify the most engaged early supporters and give them “insider” status.
Encourage them to share and promote in exchange for early access or free merch.

✅ Next Step:

We can start by working on the press pitch for PR outreach or building a sample investment deck. Let me know where you want to begin.

 

Let’s start with the press pitch since PR outreach will help build momentum and attract early attention from both media and potential brand partners. Here’s a draft of a high-impact press pitch designed to position ELIACCI as a rising, high-value artist:

✅ Key streaming links (Spotify, Apple, YouTube)

✅ Press highlights (once you secure features)

✅ Contact info

 

Step 4: Build the Investment Deck (Due in Friday's meeting)

 

Optimized $2,000 Music Video Plan (Staying in Chicago)

 

If I shoot the video in Chicago, we can create a visually stunning and high-impact music video that maximizes production quality while keeping the budget tight. Instead of just a Lamborghini, we’ll explore alternative luxury, cinematic, and visually striking concepts to make the video more unique and memorable.

New Creative Concepts Instead of a initial focus on a Lamborghini

 Concept 1: High-Fashion Cinematic “Floating” Aesthetic (Luxury, Dreamlike, Timeless)
Theme: You’re defying gravity, moving through Chicago in an ethereal, dreamlike way.
Visuals:
Slow-motion walking on Chicago’s rooftop skyline at sunset (feels larger than life).
Fog machines or natural mist for a cinematic, surreal effect.
Elegant high-fashion styling (monochrome suit, designer accessories) to create an untouchable aesthetic.
Key Location: Chicago rooftop or observation deck ($0–$100 permit).
Why it works?

Makes you look like an icon rather than just a rapper with a car.
Luxury without expensive props—using angles, lighting, and slow motion to make you seem untouchable.
 

Concept 2: “Fast-Paced Underground Energy” (Mystery, Urban, Power)
Theme: You move through underground tunnels, trains, and neon-lit streets, creating a feeling of unstoppable motion.
Visuals:
Fast cuts of you moving through Chicago’s underground tunnels and subway system (cinematic pacing).
Neon-lit nighttime shots in the West Loop or Millennium Park.
High-energy cuts with motion blur to create a hyper-real, fast-paced vibe.
Key Location: CTA train stations, West Loop, underground tunnels.

Why it works?

Captures movement & energy—perfect for a song like “You Make Me Fly.”
Cheaper than a car rental—the city becomes the main character.
 

Concept 3: “Abstract Surreal Art” (Unique & Timeless)
Theme: You move through an artistic, museum-like setting with slow, dramatic performance shots.
Visuals:
Shooting inside the Art Institute of Chicago or a creative loft space.
Abstract lighting (red, blue, golden hues to create a dreamlike feel).
Dramatic high-fashion posing instead of high-energy movement.
Key Location: Art gallery, warehouse space, or creative studio ($100–$200 rental).

Why it works?

Creates a timeless, mysterious visual that makes you look like an artistic visionary.
More unique than standard rap videos with cars and street shots.
Budget Breakdown ($2,000)

Expense

Cost Estimate

Videographer + Editing (Pro-level freelancer) $800–$1,000
Location Rental (Rooftop, subway, gallery, or creative loft) $100–$300
Lighting Rental (If needed for cinematic shots) $100–$150
Wardrobe & Styling (High-fashion look or custom pieces) $200
Props (Fog Machine, Neon Lights, etc.) $100
Permits (If needed for specific locations) $100
Miscellaneous Costs $100
✅ Why This Budget Works?

Keeps production quality high while avoiding unnecessary expenses.
Focuses on cinematic visuals, lighting, and location—NOT just props like a Lamborghini.
Gives you a unique aesthetic instead of just another flashy music video.
How to Execute This?

Hire a Creative Videographer in Chicago
Search Instagram, Craigslist, or local Facebook groups for indie filmmakers with cinematic styles.
Check local universities’ film departments—students with high-end cameras may do it for cheap.
Secure a Unique Location
Rent a rooftop, subway station, art gallery, or abandoned warehouse for a cinematic feel.
Book through Peerspace or direct negotiations for lower prices.
Minimal Crew = Lower Costs
Only videographer + 1 assistant for lighting.
High-quality gear instead of a big unnecessary team.
Cinematic Storytelling Approach
Use slow-motion, wide shots, close-ups, and lighting tricks instead of just showing props.
Lean into mystery, movement, and lighting to make it stand out visually.
🔥 Hybrid Plan – Keeping the $5K Growth Strategy

If shooting the $2,000 video, we can keep the remaining $3,000 from the original plan to push the video HARD after release:

✅ $1,500 Digital Ads (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube).

✅ $500 Playlist Pitching & PR (Spotify, Apple, indie music blogs).

✅ $500 Influencer Marketing (TikTok, IG reels using the song).

✅ $500 Investor Deck, EPK & Miscellaneous Growth Tactics.

 

FINAL CHOICE: Which Plan Feels Right?

1. Stay in Chicago and go for one of the unique creative concepts (High-fashion, underground energy, surreal art).

2. Still rent the Lamborghini in Chicago, but keep it cinematic.

3. Increase the video budget slightly ($3K), reduce marketing to $2K.

 

 

Let me know which direction feels best!
