Andy Williams discusses how to put yourself in front of the right audience by creating a fake band called Graeme Benge on social media. He created social media profiles for the band, posted content, and was able to rank the band on search engines and get radio play within a month without ever creating a website for the band. The experiment showed how powerful social media can be for branding and ranking without a traditional online presence.
