About Urban Lys music agency
Urban Lys was found in 2o17 as an organization with multi-vector activities: from its own cultural projects, aimed to develop and promote Ukrainian culture, to commercial services, which arose at the request of musicians and cultural organizations/projects, who need quality marketing support and professional online communications.
Mission
All the diverse activities of both the music agency “Urban Lys” and the public organization “Workshop of creative ideas” Urban Lys”, aimed at the implementation of the following main missions:
- development of the Ukrainian music market;
- increasing the export potential of our artists;
- promotion of quality world culture in Ukraine;
- development of local music environments and networks.
Nowadays
On the one hand, “Urban Lys” is a laboratory of communications, promotion and branding for artists and music projects in various fields. On the other hand, it is a crossroads of culture and business, where skilled creatives help commercial companies to create added value of their brands through social responsibility and the creation of iconic cultural events and products.
“Urban Lys” has an extensive network of partners in various cities of Ukraine and Europe, creating a friendly ecosystem for the formation and development of niche music not only in major cultural centers, but also on the periphery. Spreading the idea of free creativity, Urban Lys remains committed to the principles of professionalism and responsibility.
