Who it is for
Artists, managers and labels with released or scheduled music and a real budget for audience building.
Music promotion
Campaigns that put your record in front of real listeners
Organic playlisting, editorial pitching, radio, video and press, run by a team that has worked releases for major label artists and independents. Real curators and real audiences, never bots.
What this service is
Release campaigns built around where your listeners already are
Music promotion covers the paid and pitched routes that get a record heard: streaming playlists, radio rotation, video views, creator content and music press, planned as one release campaign.
It is built for independent artists, managers, labels and distributors who have finished music and need audience for it. We work singles, albums, tours and catalog.
It matters because release day is not a marketing plan. Streaming algorithms respond to genuine listener behaviour, and that behaviour has to be created deliberately, from sources that survive platform scrutiny.
Everything we run is organic in the sense that matters: real curators, real stations, real creators and real listeners. We do not sell bot streams or artificial engagement, and we will not take a campaign that asks for it.
What you get back
Placement and coverage reporting, audience data, and assets you can use in pitches and press.
Problems we solve
What artists tell us before a campaign
If you have been burned by a promo service before, you are in the majority of the calls we take.
Bot services burned you
Streams appeared, listeners never did, and the numbers looked wrong to anyone paying attention.
No editorial traction
Pitches through the usual tools go nowhere and the release lands with no playlist support.
No radio access
Station and mix show contacts are a closed network if you are not already inside it.
Great record, no plan
Music is finished, the date is set, and there is no campaign behind the release.
No press to point at
Nothing written about the project, so venues, brands and platforms have nothing to verify.
Growth that does not carry over
One release gets attention and the next one starts from zero because nothing was built to keep.
Service deliverables
Campaign types we run
Quoted individually by scope, genre and target. Your quote states the deliverables, the expected range and the campaign window in writing.

Genre matched placement with real curators across tiered campaign sizes, with approved playlist counts and campaign duration stated up front.
Editorial pitching
Apple Music and Spotify official editorial pitching for eligible releases, scoped and confirmed before you commit.
Chart campaigns
iTunes Top 100 and Genius Top 100 chart campaigns run to a defined target.
Radio promotion
FM station promotion and digital radio campaigns with weekly spin and total play targets defined per tier.
YouTube campaigns
YouTube advertising and YouTube playlisting packages with view ranges stated per package.

Stream, view and spin figures quoted in campaign tiers are expected ranges based on past campaigns of that size. They are targets, not guarantees, and platform behaviour varies by genre and record.
Benefits
What a properly run campaign does for a release
The point is not a number on a dashboard. It is listeners who keep listening and proof you can use.
- Real listener activity that streaming platforms read as genuine interest
- Playlist, radio and creator exposure you would not reach through distribution alone
- Press coverage that managers, venues, brands and platforms can verify
- Audience data showing which markets and playlists responded
- A foundation each subsequent release starts from instead of restarting
- One team coordinating streaming, video, social and press around the same date

Frequently asked questions
Music promotion questions
Are the streams real?
Yes. Placements go to real curators, stations and creators, and the listening comes from real people. We do not sell bot streams or artificial engagement, and we turn down campaigns that ask for them.
Can you guarantee editorial playlists?
Editorial selection belongs to the platform’s editors. Certain editorial routes are offered as confirmed placements and are put in writing before payment. Anything else is pitched and cannot be promised.
When should I start a campaign?
Ideally two to four weeks before release so pitching, creator briefs and press have runway. We also run campaigns on records that are already out.
What genres do you work?
Hip hop, pop, Latin, R and B, rock, dance and more. Our portfolio includes major label and independent releases across several genres, and placement is always genre matched.
Will this get me signed or charting?
A campaign builds audience and evidence. It does not decide a label’s or a chart’s outcome, and anyone promising either is guessing.
Do you work with labels and managers?
Yes. We work directly with labels, managers and distributors, including reseller arrangements for labels running campaigns for multiple artists.
