INDEXMy short film was awarded Best Music Video at a Festival. Are there any UK Music Video blogs / sites I should make aware of this for extra publicity?

Hi fellow Shooters!
I am very proud to say that my short film C.T.R.L has been awarded Best Music Video at Cortisonanti, an Italian Short Film Festival, the award handed to me by the Naples Mayor - super awesome right?
Unfortunately I don't know where else to announce such great news besides Facebook and would love to pick your brains on this... As it's a very British film, do you know any good UK Music Video Blogs or Websites I should get in touch with?
I really appreciate your help. I'd love to create as much as a buzz around C.T.R.L as possible, all the hard work our crew and cast have put into the film, as well as their belief in an independent project, really deserves some sort of reward and all the publicity we can get.
Many thanks,
Mariana

I was also going to suggest promo news who are great but you might want to wait until after the festival circuit as they would want to post your whole video online I would think...you'll get loads of views though!

Not an answer, but a question. Why, now that you've won your prize, isn't it simply on Viemo or YouTube? Life is too short to request a log-in to watch a short. So what is more useful to you? 100 people who ask for a log-in, or maybe 100,000,000 if it goes viral, (making you maybe 100K to share with all those involved, not too mention the bragging rights).
Plus, if it's YT etc, all those involved can more easily use it to promote themselves, even if it doesn't go viral :-)

Hopefully you've been building your database on Industry pros and are creating email campaigns?
Media, friends, family, other producers, production companies, networking organizations, etc.
Is you cast/crew getting info from you? Are you asking them to use social media to get the word out? Who do they know?
There's a free trial of http://www.ShowBizSender.com. Everything is trackable, clickable, people can opt out, you know if their emails are bad, etc.
You can see some examples of a film I was a producer on "I am Neda" as well as my own campaigns http://www.HughesHappenings.com is an example for my performing career.
The purpose is for folks to get your info in their InBox (more effective than Twitter, FB, etc.) and then have a "call to action" where you ask them to Tweet the link, FB it, LinkedIn, share w/ friends, etc.
Repetitive content will help get your project/s noticed vs. a one-time blast, etc.

Hey Mariana. I've announced music vids on PromoNews.TV before and still get hits via them 12 months after publication. They treat every release equally so you always start at the top of their feed.
All the best with promoting C.T.R.L.
cheers
Mark

Hi Tomo,
Hot Hot Mag looks great. It would be fantastic to see a mention to C.T.R.L there!
I'll put together a press release for you, including pictures and will send it over via email on Monday. In the meantime we'll set you up with a login to our film. Hope you like it!
The database also sounds interesting, lets discuss further.
Thank you millions,
Mariana

Hi Marlom,
We will make the video available online at a later stage, but at the moment it's doing very well in the festivals circuit (being shown at 19 festivals around the world so far), which is also an important stage for the film. Unfortunately, although this is slowly changing, most festivals won't accept a film that has been made public.
In the meantime, if you'd like to watch it, just let us know!
