Representing artists such as the Beastie Boys, The Cure, David Bowie, Slayer and Public Enemy, Set to Run was known for infusing creativity, originality and Out—of-the Box ideas into the PR process. After five years of incredible success with the original incarnation of STR, Founder Leyla Turkkan transitioned into a series of senior roles in the entertainment industry, including founding and running a subsidiary label at Atlantic Records under Craig Kallman and Danny Goldberg; running A&R and publicity for Tom Zutaut’s EMI imprint (The Enclave, which signed Belle and Sebastian); serving as VP of Marketing at BET; and advising Russell Simmons’ Rush Communications. Returning to her entrepreneurial roots and core PR skillset, Turkkan has teamed up with a group of like-minded, successful Communications experts .

I trust her implicitly.” - she has never failed to impress tastemakers and Russell Simmons, CEO, Rush me." — Anthony DeCurtis, creates memorable PR campaigns." Communications Contributing Editor, Rolling Stone -Lyor Cohen With the 2015 re-launch of STR, the goal is to expand operations to include a greater variety of clientele (tech, business / executives, etc) and make a permanent imprint on the psyche of those who matter to its clients and leave an indelible mark in the industry and pop culture at large. STR’s ethos is to tirelessly execute the smartest and most analytical campaigns using the latest technologies to ensure a resonance that is long-lasting. Set To Run campaigns combine traditional public relations, brand marketing, media/social saturation, and tastemaker influencers. Every campaign is executed with SEO/SMO analytics to accompany traditional publicity tactics. This, of course, requires a talented and experienced senior staff with the support of a large team of informed and enthusiastic publicists who share a passion for their work. In addition to Turkkan (Forte: Hip-Hop, Alternative, Corporate, Pop, non-profits), the senior team consists of Jamie Roberts, (Forte: Rock/Metal, Non-profits and Business with experience at Roadrunner Records, Eleven Seven Music and Universal Records) and Perry Serpa (Forte: Alternative/indie rock, EDM: with experience at Nasty Little Man and Good Cop PR). In addition, they have a staff of 15 publicists to support campaigns with traditional media, social media and branding. Summing it up, Turkkan states “Simply put, we don’t do ‘campaigns’ – we do careers.” Highlights of our previous work includes campaigns with: A Tribe Called Quest Dillinger Escape Plan Q-Tip The Cure B-52's Duran Duran Raphael Saadiq The Cramps Beastie Boys Hatebreed Record Store Day The Misfits Belle & Sebastian Ice Cube Russell Simmons The Roots Built To Spill Jeff Buckley Selena Gomez Tibetan Freedom Concerts Charles Hamilton Kidz Bop Slayer Tony Bennett Chris Lighty Mötley Crüe Slick Rick The Violent Femmes CMJ Music Marathon Nickelback Slipknot Type O Negative Dave Stewart Polyphonic Spree The Breeders New Order David Bowie Paulina Rubio Sonic Youth Weezer Visit us at www.settorun.com or Reach out, send us samples of your work, and let's have a chat about how we can help you break through –[email protected] / [email protected] or 212-777-6727 ext 230 .

  • Innovation Diffusion: Marketing Drivers of Hip-Hop Success
    Innovation Diffusion: Marketing Drivers of Hip-Hop Success Chuck Tomkovick, University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire Justin Eder, Hip-Hop Event Organizer & Artist hen Clive Campbell, aka DJ Kool Herc, organized an after-school party in 1971 at his sister’s request, he had little idea he was inventing hip-hop, and even less of an idea Wthat his South Bronx style would spark music and fashion innovation for generations to come.1 By hopping back and forth between two turntables using duplicate copies of the same record, Kool Herc was able to extend the percussion breakdown (“the breaks”) of songs, enabling break-dancers and emcees to show and prove their skills.2 From this eclectic collage of deejaying, break-dancing, graffiti expression, and emceeing, hip-hop culture was born.3 Fast-forwarding to today, hip-hop has been an amazing commercial success. With over $12 billion in estimated annual sales4 (comprised of CDs, DVDs, digital downloads, clothing, books, magazines, ringtones, beverages, and other assorted products), the size and scope of hip-hop merchandise, and its widespread adoption, is the envy of many in the world of pop culture. Curious onlookers and those appreciative of marketing’s role in innovation diffusion wonder how this culture has spread so pervasively. Where is hip-hop in its product life cycle? Why are people of such diverse geographic and ethnic backgrounds so willing to embrace a culture that was spawned primarily by minorities in the South Bronx? Answering these and other related questions provided the motivation for this marketing module. 1 # # ʯ%ÿ৺ %# ʯ6ʯÿ6ʯ֊8ӹӹޱ״ȶʯϻ% $ÿ״ʯÿ8# ÿ6״6৺ϻ$ÿ6״״7 2 Marketing Drivers of Hip-Hop Success The diffusion of hip-hop culture, from its earliest days to its powerful world stage presence today, can be attributed to four major market- ing forces: rhythmic market visionaries with a penchant for fashion and branding, innate consumer attraction to underdogs and rebels, the merging of media and modern technology, and unabashed corpo- rate co-optation.

  • Craig Kallman
    CRAIG KALLMAN CHAIRMAN/CEO, THE ATLANTIC RECORDS GROUP * * * * * * CRAIG KALLMAN Craig Kallman carries on the entrepreneurial tradition that has driven Atlantic Records since its founding by Ahmet Ertegun over 65 years ago, and is embodied in the careers of such fellow Atlantic producer/executives as Jerry Wexler, Nesuhi Ertegun, and Doug Morris. Craig joined Atlantic in 1991, when the company acquired his independent Big Beat Records label. Advancing through the executive ranks, the New York-born Kallman was named Chairman/CEO of the Atlantic Records Group in 2005. A passionate music fan, obsessive record collector (with an archive now numbering 350,000 vinyl albums and counting), and avid audiophile, Kallman began his music industry career while still in high school. He started out by DJ-ing at the Cat Club in New York, while working in Columbia Records' dance department. At Brown University, he was the CBS Records college representative, programmed urban and rock specialty shows on WBRU-FM, and ran a legendary series of campus dance parties. After graduating in 1987 with a B.A. in English, Kallman worked for Factory Records and Billboard magazine, while DJ-ing at such legendary nightspots as Danceteria, Area, The Palladium, and The Tunnel – spinning boundary-crossing sets drawn from his vast collection. Fresh out of college, he started the Big Beat label in his bedroom, selling dance records on the street from a shopping cart. He launched the label with the single "Join Hands" by Taravhonty. His second release, "The Party" by Kraze, was an international smash, selling over 300,000 copies, and prompting calls for Kallman remixes from such major artists as Soul II Soul.
