Hello,
I am a French student doing a Bachelor in the UK, I am conducting this survey for my final year dissertation which question is "Self-Promotion in the Music Industry : a PR tactic ?".
This survey doesn't require you to know anything about the music industry or PR per se, I just need the general music consumer perspective, how you do perceive it and what it means to you.
Thank you very much for taking the time to answer these few questions, I know it looks like a lot but it actually shouldn't take more than 3-4 minutes. I really really appreciate it !
