2009 is beginning to wind down and I can confidently say the past year has been hugely successful for all of us here at Fancorps! We've continued to fine tune our services and improve our platform to better serve all of our clients, big and small. In a year where many colleagues are out of work (unfortunately) and companies are downsizing to stay afloat we are so thankful to be thriving and growing on a daily basis.

In recent weeks we've fired off several new campaigns/teams for artists/labels like Dashboard Confessional, Relient K, Stereos, Kate Voegele, Shwayze, Photo Finish Records, and have plans in the works to launch Fancorps teams for Wind Up Records, Universal Music Enterprises, and Island Def Jam to kick off November.

Our recent time spent in New York for CMJ was a blast as usual. The importance of touching base with clients in person can't be overlooked, as those meetings are always a great way to brainstorm for the future and sketch out day-to-day plans moving forward. Not too mention the weather in NYC in October is tough to beat.

November's Team Spotlight features Brand New (Interscope Records), a band I'm personally a big fan of and couldn't be more excited to be involved with. Their new album is incredible and has gotten off to a great start, debuting at #6 with nearly 50K copies being sold in week one. The band's fans continue to impress as their enthusiasm for the street team has been unparalleled and has yielded some impressive results across the board...check out the Spotlight here.
