The story of Jazzmedia and More
Jazzmedia and More, founded by Jan Fritz in 2001, has grown from its humble beginnings in Berlin’s Wedding district to become a leading PR agency in the jazz world. Jan’s journey from radio music editor and producer to establishing his own agency was driven by a deep passion for jazz and requests from renowned musicians.
The agency’s evolution mirrors Jan’s extensive experience in the industry. From representing local Berlin artists to collaborating with international institutions like the Goethe Institute, Jazzmedia and More has consistently expanded its reach and influence. Notable projects include organizing the Danish music festival in Berlin and supporting major events like the Copenhagen Jazz Festival and jazzahead! in Bremen.
Jan’s expertise has led to invitations to judge international music competitions and contribute to initiatives supporting young jazz talents. The agency’s relocation to Bremen in 2011, while maintaining a presence in Berlin, reflects its commitment to staying at the forefront of the jazz scene.
Today, Jazzmedia and More stands as a vital link between musicians, labels, media representatives, and organizers. Our journey from a one-person operation to a dynamic team offering comprehensive, multi-platform publicity services for select jazz artists, venues, and record labels is a testament to our dedication and expertise in the field.
Under Jan’s leadership, Jazzmedia and More continues to prioritize quality over quantity, taking on a limited number of clients to ensure personalized attention and commitment. Our strong connections within the jazz community, innovative strategies, and passion for the genre drive our success in elevating artists’ profiles and connecting them with wider audiences.
As we look to the future, Jazzmedia and More remains committed to its founding principles: providing passionate, forward-thinking PR services that celebrate and promote the vibrant world of jazz.
