In our effort to solidify national recognition and audience penetration we are hosting a series of release parties called “XPOSE NITE OUT!” Starting spring of 2013, we will host bi-monthly concert series in Chicago, Atlanta, Miami, Los Angeles and Cleveland (with more to be announced), that will headline national and emerging musical performers on the same stage. Xpose Nite Out will be held at night clubs and small concert venues in order to create an intimate environment between performer and fan. A portion of proceeds will be donated back to community non-profit organizations in each city. This event provides tremendous opportunities for sponsorship. Sponsors involved with this project can utilize this event as an investment back into the community and a vehicle to drive incremental sales by complimenting your current efforts in creating consumer loyalty and brand awareness.
