Julia Grimoldi - Web/EPK/Social Media Consultant

Here at Launch Pad Production, we want you to know who we are. So, Rachel forced asked us to answer some interview questions so that you can get to know us better. After all, it’s more fun working with people you know. Today, we're starting with Julia, our Web, EPK, and Social Media consultant. We hope you enjoy her wit as much as we do! 

1. What are you currently listening to on your iPod/Spotify list?

I'm pretty much always listening to music in one way or another. I
usually prefer putting things on shuffle and going about my day, but
my favorite Spotify playlist is called"Girl Group Heaven" and features
(surprise) the awesome girl groups from the 60s. The last two songs I
listened to on my iPod were "Don't Make Me A Target" by Spoon and
"White Wedding" by Billy Idol. I also have two CDs in my car: Titus
Andronicus' "The Monitor" and Beyoncé's "4". Variety is the spice of
life, etc.

2.  What is the single best concert you've been to?

Radiohead in 2008 while they were touring for In Rainbows. It was a
ridiculously good setlist, I was there with a ton of my friends, and
we couldn't believe that we were actually seeing a band we borderline
worshipped for the first time ever. It was an unbelievably good time.

3. What is your favorite part of your specific role in this company?

I'm one of those nerds who loves editing and writing and I love that I
have the chance to do that for others with Launch Pad! I also love
social media and it's amazing that I live in a time when artists are
able to reach their fans just by typing to them.

4. What got you in to your specific role in this company?

I have a background in digital marketing through social media for
artists and spearheaded a large project involving EPKs for a student
organization I was involved in during college. Also, I volunteered
myself when Rachel mentioned Launch Pad was going to branch into EPKs
and she and Daniel were nice enough to bring me on!

5. Who would you like to emulate in your role? / Who is your favorite
at what you do?

I'm not familiar with anyone who gets to be lucky enough to do this
for a living full-time, but I admire anyone who is able to make people
understand what an artist has to offer from only their words without
even hearing the music yet.

6. Where are you from?

Saint Louis, Missouri, home of the best ribs and a completely made-up
kind of cheese.

7. Where did you graduate college? Do you have a degree in your
specific role in this company?

I graduated from Middle Tennessee State University in 2012 with a
degree in the Recording Industry and a concentration in Music
Business.

8. The great debate - Dogs? or Cats?

Dogs. Always dogs. All the dogs.

9. If you could be any super hero, who would you want to be and why?

My favorite superhero is and always will be Spider-Man, because he's
just a regular person with regular problems who suddenly is forced to
deal with having not-so-regular powers and issues. But I wouldn't be
upset about being Squirrel Girl either, because she's defeated Thanos
and Dr. Doom and a ton of other characters by herself and a pack of
squirrels and that's badass in every single way.

10. Is there any other tid-bit you'd like us all to know?

I quote Seinfeld a lot.

Hope you enjoyed getting to know Julia! 

Sincerely,

Launch Pad Production
