Independent artists are finally getting a level playing field. Moxie Media Marketing, led by CEO Kenneth W. Welch Jr., has launched the Global Talent Billboard Directory (GTBD) — an integrated social media and marketing platform built for creators tired of being buried under algorithmic bias and pay-to-play rules.
Unlike legacy platforms such as Instagram or YouTube, where visibility often hinges on follower counts or paid promotions, GTBD promises equitable exposure, full ownership, and no commissions. Through an annual membership, artists gain access to a complete marketing ecosystem that merges old-school visibility strategies with modern digital reach.
A Billboard for Every Artist
GTBD allows artists—musicians, models, dancers, and more—to create customizable “Billboards” showcasing their content. Moxie Media then promotes these Billboards across Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, driving traffic back to creators’ original channels so engagement still counts toward monetization thresholds.
Half of all membership fees are reinvested into platform-wide advertising boosts, meaning every member benefits from Moxie Media’s global promotional campaigns across social media, television, and press outlets. The company says this approach ensures collective visibility rather than individual competition.
Breaking the Algorithm
While traditional social platforms rely on algorithms that favor established creators, GTBD rotates visibility evenly. Every artist Billboard receives top billing in programmed intervals—no influencer privilege, no algorithmic bias.
Moxie Media even selects certain creators at random for amplified exposure via its YouTube channel (1.6 million subscribers), social media network, and feature slots on CNBC’s Spilling Tea with Kiki. Standout artists can also earn professional music video production, performance opportunities, and TV features at no added cost.
Merit Over Metrics
GTBD’s philosophy is clear: artistic merit and genuine engagement should drive visibility—not follower counts. Real-time analytics give members insight into traffic, engagement, and audience demographics, while unlimited content updates let artists continually refresh their Billboards with new music, videos, or merchandise.
Artists also maintain 100% ownership and revenue from their content. There are no commissions, intermediaries, or exploitative contracts—just direct connection between creators and their audiences.
Redefining Artistic Freedom
Kenneth Welch describes GTBD as “a liberation engine for suppressed arts,” built to dismantle industry gatekeeping and foster inclusivity. The platform particularly targets challenges faced by marginalized creators and niche genres overlooked by mainstream systems.
By focusing on crowdsourced curation and community-driven discovery, GTBD turns audiences into active participants in artist discovery rather than passive consumers of algorithmically curated trends.
For less than three dollars a day, members tap into Moxie Media’s vast promotional infrastructure—including cable television partnerships and international media distribution. The goal, Welch says, is to restore “genuine artistic freedom” by putting the power of promotion back into the hands of creators.
As Moxie Media expands its production footprint—most recently filming with Belfast artist Jolene Allison-Burns in Aruba and preparing Season 2 of Spilling Tea with Kiki for CNBC—the GTBD marks a bold new frontier for independent creators seeking visibility on their own terms.
Artists can join the Global Talent Billboard Directory through Moxie Media Marketing’s website, gaining instant access to all promotional tools, analytics dashboards, and exposure channels upon registration.
