Pitch-A-Pak

Media Press Kit

Presentation Albums

When you submit your materials to Industry Professionals, you are trying to make the greatest impression possible. In the Entertainment Industry, it is very hard to get noticed, no matter how talented you are. These Press Kits allow you to stand out from most everyone else, and your chances of being seen or heard increase significantly, greatly increasing your odds for success!

If you are truly serious about your craft and your career, you will want to present yourself in the most professional manner available. This is it! Don't let all of your long hours, hard work and money go in vain! Don't wait until they possibly pull your tape/cd/video from a pile of others! Don't let your career be put on hold!

You may be extremely talented, but in most cases, if the right people never hear or see your abilities, it could mean the difference between success and failure! Most of you have already spent hundreds, if not thousands of hard-earned dollars to prepare yourself and your demo, photographs, business cards, video, cd, etc. Put the same effort into presenting your demo package as you did into making the components that make up that package!

A.M., Indianapolis, IN
"We have several clients who perform in different categories of the music industry. Your product helps us by giving that personal, as well as, professional edge in our presentations of our clients to the various record companies. Because of our 'impressive presentation' of our clients, we have obtained a recording contract and several inquiries."

T.D., Los Angeles, CA
"Yesterday I was in an interview with an agent when I produced my presentation package, one of your video cassette models, and heard nothing but praise. They instantly said, 'now there is one actor who has his ____ together!' They found it refreshing that someone has taken the time to care about his presentation materials. This is not an isolated example. Others have raved -- though none so descript as above."

A.L., Santa Clara, CA
"As you obviously know, in the 'Industry' we must always send out our Demos, Videos and Resumes, or 'press paks' to get anywhere. For years I was always trying to send them out in something that looked professional. Well -- paper folders with pockets-just didn't fit that image and the tapes fell out, etc. I was so proud when I sent out my Demo Tapes and Resumes in Pitch-A-Paks. I knew I would get the attention of the executives and not have the secretary just toss it out. There's not a better presentation package around -- Now I get responses!"

J.A.
"Thank you for selling me the wonderful cd/vid folders ...they gave my presentation the extra pro look I was looking for."

P.R., ME
"We had many companies tell us it was the best media kit they had ever seen. Thanks for the great product."

J.J., North Carolina
"Thank you so much! I received my shipment today and I'm very, very pleased with the contents -- with the product actually. I'm thinking about the contents that I'm going to put in it. It's a very safe-looking product, and I thank you so much! I'm very excited! I will not forget you all as I matriculate toward success! I will definitely recommend you'all to other artists. Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

J.H., San Francisco, CA
"People are pretty impressed with the presentation packs I have put together, and a lot of it is because of your product. Thanks!"

L.W., New Orleans, LA
"I saw it on the Internet and I ordered one. I like what I received so I'm back for more. I'm very pleased with your products."

K.T., Sherman Oaks, CA
"Your paks have worked very well for our film festival submission." "Thanks for having a pitch pak that really impresses and makes things much easier."

P.S., Salem, MI
"We got them! Superb! We will look really good in New York thanks to Pitch-A-Pak!"

C.P., Coconut Creek, FL
"I received my order today... I will definitely be purchasing more of this product soon, it is very convenient and elegant. Thank you again."

C.W., Yukon, OK
"Just to let you know, we LOVE your product!!! Our band took the press packs to a record label showcase with Atlantic Records, Columbia Records, and Warner Music and the reps commented that the press packs were "awesome." They said they were the most professional press packs they had received. So..THANK YOU!!"

Pitch-A-Pak was founded by vocalist and entrepreneur, LaTiahna Nelson (also known as Wannibbi).  As a former soloist, then band member, she submitted her materials (demo tape, bio, etc.) to various Talent Shows, Contests and Club Owners.

Being an extreme perfectionist and organizational wizard, she realized the need for a product that could hold all of the things she wanted to submit (8X10 Photo, Demo Tape, Bio, Letter & Business Card) in one professional, eye-catching package. After an extensive search for such a product, she found that there was nothing available.

Seeing a nitch that needed to be filled, she immediately undertook the massive task of bringing a new product to the marketplace. It turned out to be an expensive and timely undertaking, but she knew that if she needed a product like this, others must too. This is how Pitch-A-Pak was born.
