Case Study: PanRecords.co.uk & Brandon McPhee


Brandon McPhee, a seasoned musician with a wealth of experience, was one of our first clients at The Entertainment Bureau. Like many musicians of a certain age, Brandon wasn't naturally inclined toward social media and regular posting. Unlike Gen Z, which has grown up with social media as second nature, Brandon found the digital landscape overwhelming. His website, BrandonMcPhee.com, was managed by a third party and was largely static, offering limited interaction with his audience. Brandon wasn't concerned with his site's stats, as he simply didn't know how to track or interpret them.

When he came to The Entertainment Bureau, we transformed his website and digital presence. By integrating robust analytics tools and providing frequent updates on his website’s performance, we empowered Brandon with the insights he needed. As a result, BrandonMcPhee.com now consistently attracts over 8,000 unique visitors each month, significantly improving his online visibility and audience engagement.

PanRecords.co.uk, the Scottish record label Brandon is signed to, also faced challenges with its online presence. Initially, they used an eCommerce platform that cost them £24 per month but offered limited profit margins and poor functionality. The label struggled with online discoverability, as their URL was difficult to find on Google search.

With our expertise, we migrated Pan Records to a more cost-effective and efficient eCommerce solution, incorporating integrated SEO and enhanced search visibility. This shift removed the need for the previous costly eCommerce platform, and as a result, sales—both physical and digital downloads—have increased. Additionally, Pan Records now ranks higher in search results, making it easier for fans and potential customers to find them online.

Both BrandonMcPhee.com and PanRecords.co.uk now have full control over their branding and audience engagement. Within just three months, Pan Records has more than tripled its initial investment in the website's development, demonstrating the tangible return on investment through improved sales and visibility.

KEY RESULTS

  • 8k+ unique monthly visitors to BrandonMcPhee.com.
  • Cost-effective eCommerce solution for PanRecords.co.uk, eliminating $24/month platform fees.
  • Increased sales in both digital downloads and physical products.
  • Higher search engine rankings, leading to improved online visibility.
  • Return on investment (ROI): Pan Records has tripled its website investment in under three onths.

Case Study:  ShereeBrownMusic.com, Transformation Background.


Sheree Brown is not only a heritage artist but a multi-dimensional cultural icon whose legacy in soul, jazz, and RnB continues to inspire and uplift audiences across generations. With a career spanning from her early days as a Capitol Records recording artist in the 1980s to her current roles as an award-winning songwriter, producer, educator, and author, Sheree’s influence reaches far beyond music into literature and social empowerment. Her critically acclaimed albums, such as Straight Ahead and The Music, have been digitally remastered for new audiences, and her creative projects—including children’s books and concept albums—reflect her commitment to social change and youth empowerment.

Challenges with the Previous Website

Before partnering with us, Sheree’s website was static and lacked the tools necessary for modern audience engagement:

  • Limited ability to update content or showcase her evolving body of work
  • No access to analytics, making it difficult to understand visitor behaviour or measure engagement
  • No integrated e-commerce or direct-to-fan sales capabilities
This meant Sheree could not fully leverage her legacy or connect with her core audience in a dynamic, interactive way.

Our Solution: A Dynamic, Integrated Platform

We designed and implemented a new website that serves as a vibrant hub for Sheree’s music, literature, and advocacy.

Key enhancements included:

  • Engaging, Brand-Centric Design: The new site visually reflects Sheree’s soulful artistry and heritage, drawing inspiration from best-in-class musician sites that use bold visuals, clear content hierarchies, and immersive storytelling to connect with fans. The design is both modern and authentic, aligning with Sheree’s unique identity and the legacy she represents.
  • Multi-Channel Audience Engagement: We structured the site to highlight Sheree’s music, books, performances, and social initiatives, making it easy for fans to explore her diverse projects. Embedded audio and video players allow visitors to experience her work firsthand, while integrated social links foster ongoing engagement.
  • Robust E-Commerce Integration: Sheree now enjoys full control over direct-to-market sales, including physical and digital downloads of her music and books. The e-commerce platform is mobile-friendly, enabling her to manage sales and inventory from her phone and offer exclusive products directly to her audience. This empowers her to retain more revenue and build deeper fan relationships.
  • Analytics and Insights: The new website provides detailed analytics, giving Sheree actionable insights into visitor behaviour, content performance, and sales trends. This data-driven approach enables her to refine her outreach and better serve her audience.
  • Mobile Optimisation: Recognising the importance of mobile access for both fans and the artist, the site is fully responsive and optimised for mobile e-commerce. Sheree can update content, track stats, and engage with her audience on the go.

Impact and Results

Since the launch of her new site, Sheree Brown has:

  • Increased her direct engagement with fans, who can now easily explore her full catalog, purchase products, and join her mailing list
  • Expanded her reach beyond music to include literature, education, and social advocacy, all within a single, cohesive platform
  • Gained valuable insights into her audience, allowing for more targeted communication and content updates
  • Enhanced her professional credibility with a modern, visually compelling website that reflects her status as a legacy artist and cultural leader.

Conclusion:

The transformation of Sheree Brown’s website exemplifies how a thoughtfully designed digital platform can honour an artist’s legacy while empowering them to connect, inspire, and grow in the digital age. By integrating music, literature, e-commerce, and audience engagement tools, we have created a dynamic online home that supports Sheree’s mission to make the world a better place—one song, story, and project at a time
.

In addition, Sheree's dynamic site is focused on smart device first:  With more than 61% of consumers accessing content first on their smart devices, Sheree's site works best here.

“Sheree Brown isn’t just an artist; she is an enduring cultural icon—a brand and multi-dimensional experience whose music and creative projects inspire, educate, and uplift audiences across generations, lifestyles, and cultures.”

Case Study No. 3: DiscInternational.com


DiscInternational is a premier UK-based broker specialising in the production of vinyl records, CDs, DVDs, and Blu-rays. With over 25 years of experience in music manufacturing, the company serves a diverse client base—from unsigned indie artists and small record labels to major catalogue companies and record plants across the UK, USA, Europe and Australia. DiscInternational is renowned for its expertise in creative packaging and its ability to deliver a wide array of physical media formats, including unique vinyl effects and custom packaging solutions.

Challenge

Despite their established industry presence, DiscInternational was initially unaware of their website’s analytics and digital performance. As the global resurgence in vinyl sales accelerated, the company recognised the need to modernise its brand and expand its appeal to both emerging indie artists and established record labels. 

The primary objectives were to:

  • Rebrand the company to reflect its leadership and innovation in the physical music media sector.

  • Increase brand visibility and engagement, particularly among indie musicians and boutique labels.

  • Leverage digital marketing and analytics to drive growth and inform strategic decisions.

Strategy & Implementation

Our partnership began with a comprehensive rebranding exercise, updating DiscInternational’s visual identity and messaging to better resonate with both traditional and new-generation music creators. 

Key steps included:

  • Website Audit & Analytics Integration: Implemented advanced analytics tools to track visitor behavior, conversion rates, and engagement metrics, providing actionable insights for ongoing optimisation.

  • Brand Refresh: Developed a modernised brand identity, emphasising DiscInternational’s expertise in vinyl and CD manufacturing, creative packaging, and customer-centric approach.

  • Content & SEO: Created informative content highlighting the company’s unique capabilities—such as bespoke vinyl effects, fast turnarounds, and competitive pricing—to attract both indie artists and established labels searching for reliable production partners.

  • Targeted Outreach: Launched digital campaigns aimed at unsigned artists, small labels, and catalogue companies, showcasing DiscInternational’s ability to guide clients through the manufacturing process and deliver high-quality, customised products.

Results

Following the rebrand and digital strategy overhaul, DiscInternational achieved significant improvements in key performance indicators:

  • Brand Visibility: Website traffic and social media engagement increased, with a notable rise in inquiries from indie artists and small labels.

  • Client Engagement: Enhanced website analytics enabled data-driven decision-making, leading to improved user experience and higher conversion rates.

  • Market Positioning: The refreshed brand positioned DiscInternational as a go-to partner for physical media production, catering to the growing demand for vinyl and CD formats amid a global revival in physical music sales.
  • Competitor Advantage:  Our sites' statics demonstrate its advantage over its nearest, known competitor.

Industry Impact

DiscInternational’s evolution reflects broader industry trends, where physical formats like vinyl and CDs are experiencing renewed interest. Music fans increasingly value tangible media for its superior sound, collectible packaging, and emotional connection—factors that digital streaming cannot replicate. By aligning its brand and services with these consumer preferences, DiscInternational continues to thrive as a leader in the music manufacturing sector.

“There’s no better feeling for a fan than discovering beautiful packaging with imaginative textures and finishes, hidden pockets with extras and access to more music. We can do all of that too!”

Conclusion

Through strategic rebranding and digital transformation, DiscInternational has strengthened its market presence and is well-positioned to support both emerging and established music creators in the dynamic world of physical music media. Their commitment to quality, innovation, and customer service remains at the core of their ongoing success
