I wouldn't misrepresent myself as a marketing guru or PR whiz. Primarily what I do is build websites. If I were a marketer, I would charge a lot more for my services.

That said, I do have professional experience that goes beyond just the design aspect of building sites. My experience as a journalist has taught me many lessons about getting the word out, no matter what the medium. And in my music career, I've learned a thing or two about self-promotion that might be valuable to my musician clients.

If I could sum up my philosophy about marketing, from both a journalist's and musician's perspective, I'd say: Provide a real service to your target audience, project a professional image, put your best foot forward, and communicate your message clearly and simply. Those are things I strive to achieve whenever building a site. If I feel your site is not accomplishing those goals, I'll surely let you know and suggest ways of improving it.
