Tsunami
Entertainment is a multi-faceted music and media company structured for the new
digital era. It was formed in March 1999 by former EMI executive Bruce
Kirkland. Its umbrella encompasses marketing and media consultation, artist and
producer management, and strategic marketing in the entertainment space. The
company's philosophy is founded on the modern artist as a creative hyphenate.
Tsunami's mission is to provide comprehensive services to enable artists to
achieve the broadest possible marketing and media reach, mining the full
spectrum of an artist's creative reservoir. This manifests itself in a menu of
various media strategies, digital and direct marketing initiatives, corporate
promotional partnerships and non-conventional methods of expanding audience
reach. Our services are designed to supplement the activities of a record
label's traditional marketing activities.
Tsunami's consulting clients have included some of the most powerful brands in
both corporate America
and the artist community. Its corporate clients have included QVC, NBC Enterprises, House of Blues, TV Guide, Ericsson, Sony Music, Fox,
Playboy and Universal Music. Tsunami offers turnkey marketing
solutions to corporations through a unique blend of music and media expertise.
We have also provided marketing services to high profile artist brands,
including Bon Jovi, Sarah Brightman, Peter Gabriel, The Beatles, Bee Gees
and Erykah Badu. Company highlights include a comprehensive long term music
strategy for TV Guide, a business plan for a music personalization
software for Internet and wireless applications, over-arching digital media
strategies for the House of Blues, world-wide marketing for The Bee Gees
Greatest Hits, and organizing talent for the 2002 Winter Olympics
Medals Plaza.

Tsunami possesses a unique blend of management skills, reflecting a new
business paradigm in music. Bruce Kirkland has experience in many capacities in
the music business, including artist management, live event promotions,
