Eh... marketing for artists who don't like "marketing"?

O wise AskMe, please help us name our art marketing business?
A few friends are web-based marketing consultants for indie artists, particularly for musicians, comic book publishers, and visual artists. They provide customized, low-budget, and practical advice on how to do things like sell your art online, target your market, and maintain a fan community. They'd like to take it to the next level and form a company, but they're stuck for a good company name.
They'd like to avoid stiff business terms like "marketing" and "sell," as these words, at least when out front, seem to make many artists hesitate. They're trying to find either a name or a simple slogan that imparts the message "we know what you can easily do to get your art to people who want it." This also needs to (reasonably) work as a web domain.
Bonus points for integrating symbolism that means 'waking' or 'rising,' or similar (
e.g. sleeping dragon).
