Previous to starting the Band Mom, Jenn Misko worked from 2007-08 at the PR firm Fanatic Promotion. She contributed significantly to highly successful college/non comm radio campaigns for Tilly & The Wall, Old Time Relijun, HEALTH, Pomegranates, Adam Green, The Pharmacy, King Khan & The Shrines, Dungen, Lavender Diamond, The Hood Internet, 65daysofstatic, Deer Tick, SNMNMNM, Earthless, Figurines, Matthew Dear, David Dondero, The Octopus Project, Black Moth Super Rainbow, Girl Talk, and Hello, Blue Roses (side project of Dan Bejar of Destroyer), among others. Even before that, she also helped work closely with artists such as Relient K, House of Heroes, Family Force 5, Denison Witmer, and Lovedrug, through internships at the label Gotee Records and the artist management company Celebrity, Etc.
Then, in addition to her more personal Band Mom projects, in 2009-2010 Jenn took on freelance RPM- and Top 200-targeted projects for the company LIFT. The 2009 Top 200 projects, as listed below, were billed as Band Mom/LIFT co-promotion in an effort at continuity, since nearly all of the LIFT projects were branded as RPM and nearly all Band Mom had been Top 200. In 2010 we decided the distinction wasn’t necessary and dropped the co-promotion smokescreen. Highlights included projects by Passion Pit, Deadmau5, OK GO, Paul Van Dyk, Dizzee Rascal, Yello, The Asteroids Galaxy Tour, Armin Van Buuren, Infected Mushroom, and BT; complete list of LIFT projects included below (and can be found detailed on fuller posts in the backlog of this site):
