About Elisabeth

I’m a PR professional with over 20 years of experience in media relations — from national press and radio to TV and digital platforms. I help artists, festivals, and brands get the visibility they deserve by crafting tailored communication strategies and impactful storytelling.

If you’re looking to promote a music release, organize a press event, or strengthen your media presence, I can help you connect with the right journalists and audiences, using the language and angles that truly resonate in your field.

What sets me apart is my dual expertise: a solid academic background with a Master’s in Musicology and Cultural Management from Sorbonne University, combined with two decades in the music scene — from pop and electronic acts to metal and indie rock. This gives me both the strategic overview and the insider’s understanding of what makes your project stand out.

I usually handle projects such as:

- Press campaigns for album releases, tours, and festivals

- Media partnerships and content collaborations

- Event organization and artist promotion

- Strategic consulting for independent artists and labels

Also, as a long-time heavy metal drummer, I bring energy, precision, and passion to every campaign — because communication, like music, is all about rhythm and impact.
