Who/What is ElectricKiwi?

ElectricKiWi offers freelance web/graphic design, social media marketing and online marketing services for the music industry.

ElectricKiWi is run solely by myself, Ross Barber. I'm 25 and currently live in Glasgow, Scotland.

Hi there, it's nice to meet you.

Music has always been by main interest and I have been involved in web and graphic design for years to varying degrees.

In 2009 I graduated with an Upper Second Class BA (Hons) in Popular Music. Through my course, I became increasingly interested in social media and online marketing, and how these had an impact on the music industry. This was demonstrated in the dissertation I wrote which was entitled The Impact of the Internet on Subcultural Musical Activity and my promotion and marketing project, where I used social media to promote myself as a singer/songwriter.

Music performance is something I am still involved in but it has become more of a hobby than a career choice. I am far more interested in assisting other musicians, bands and labels in creating their online identity and promoting this.

I have done a lot of unpaid freelance work and am in a strong position to offer my services on a more professional level. For more information, please take a look at the examples of my previous work where you can also find testimonials from previous clients.

I listen to a wide range of music and am more than happy to accommodate various styles through my promotion and design projects. Variation is incredibly important to me, so the more varied the projects which come my way, the better!

I also love talking to new people, so feel free to drop me a line via email or your chosen social network.
