How can I get an endorsement deal from .strandberg*?
We would be nothing without you players and our artists supporting us and getting the word out there. We are truly blessed to have an amazing roster of superb players who work with us. It never started with the artist asking “Can you endorse me?”. It started with a conversation around the artist having seen and played a .strandberg* guitar and preferring it over other brands. Or sometimes, by way of introduction of a mutual acquaintance, we make sure that the artist can try a guitar out.
We look at our endorsements as partnerships where we work together to increase each other's exposure – to spread the music or knowledge about the brand to a wider audience. All of us need food on the table, and the endorsement is also a business relationship, where both parties must have something mutual to gain.
So as an artist, you should bring to us the opportunity of exposure, for example through a substantial social media following, an active live gigging or touring schedule, professionally produced videos, several active monthly listeners, and so on. This doesn't necessarily mean that you have to be a titan in any one aspect of your artistry, but you must be able to quantifiably prove the benefits that can come from a mutual relationship between each other. Great skill can be sometimes be enough – if we can find a diamond in the rough and help build an artist's career, we would be thrilled! But we are a guitar company, not a talent agency, so this would be a rare exception.
In return, we will work with you in varying degrees to provide you with tools of the trade (guitars), promotion, tour sponsorships, connections, clinics, etc.
We base our endorsement and collaboration agreements on the genuine desire to play .strandberg* guitars over other guitars. We don’t ask for exclusivity, but expect our guitars to be played because they meet your needs. If this does not hold, our agreement is null and void. We also expect that our values of innovation, quality, reliability, credibility and open communication are shared.
