TESTIMONIALS
Prism Media Inc
“The ASCAP EXPO has given Prism the chance to meet many independent musicians who often have their own studio set-up for recording. Formerly this was an audience that we weren’t able to reach out to effectively but now I believe we are getting some recognition and brand awareness in this sector by being a part of this event. It has also meant that we have been able to meet some of our users and get feedback plus offer suggestions.
- Frank Ogelthorpe, US Sales and Technical Specialist, Prism Media Inc.
