Loop 101 is a modern marketing company with a mission — to help artists avoid the traditional pitfalls that have plagued the entertainment industry, especially for women.
We have a unique approach to artist development, production and promotion, harnessing the power of the virtual world to create deeper connections and a sense of community between artists and fans. Rather than fitting a set mold, we help artists uncover more of their goodness, letting their light shine through to inspire and uplift.
Spark & Vision
Loop 101 was started in Glendale, Arizona, by two childhood friends reunited later in life. Each bringing lessons and experiences from two different but complimentary worlds.
Bettijo, designer and blogger, and Armanda, musician and stylist, have been friends since they were about 9 years old. In their late teens, the two took separate paths, but reunited in their early 30s and found common interests in faith, art, fashion, design, health and wellness.
A spark ignited, when Bettijo’s daughter started spilling out one catchy song after the next, and the two moms knew something special was unfolding. They began working together, weaving a plan to allow Attalie to share her voice and grow as an artist, while avoiding the dangers that prey on young talent and plague entertainers in the industry, which Armanda experienced firsthand in her youth.
Their vision became Loop 101, where they are developing a future of artists that share genuine talents and connect on deeper levels with their audiences.
