For independent artists, producers and labels
We run your music video as a Google Ads campaign on YouTube, shown to people who already listen to artists like you. Then our editors publish a feature on you, with your own magazine cover.

One monthly plan for every artist on your label: a YouTube campaign and editorial features for each release, with a report after each campaign.
Prices in US dollars. Card payments include a 3% card processing fee, shown at checkout. Views are counted by Google Ads in the one market you choose, and each count is a guaranteed minimum. Campaigns go live once Google approves your video, usually within a business day.
Artists we have featured
Independent artists and producers on their Blue Leopard Media profile features, in their own words.
Blue Leopard Media gave me a chance to tell the story behind the music, not just promote another release. The feature helped listeners understand where I was coming from creatively, and having that kind of coverage gave me something substantial to share around the project.
Independent artists, producers, managers and labels, from a first single to an album campaign. We ask about the release and the goal first, so the plan fits what you actually have.
Your music video link, your other links, the artists you sound like, the countries that matter and a photograph. Tell us in the form below and we come back within one business day.
One to two weeks before release day is ideal: time to set up the YouTube campaign and for you to approve your feature. We can still help with a release that is already out.
Yes. Our free tools for artists include a YouTube promotion cost calculator, a streaming royalties calculator, an EPK template, an artist bio template and a music press release template. No sign-up needed.
On YouTube and Google video partners, as skippable ads, in-feed ads and YouTube Shorts ads, aimed at people who watch similar artists.
Yes. Views from your campaign show on your video’s public view count on YouTube, so everyone who opens your video sees the number go up. Your Google Ads report at the end of the campaign shows every view and what it cost.
Yes. Your video runs as a Google Ads campaign and people choose to watch it. We never use bots, view farms or bought likes, subscribers or comments, which break YouTube’s rules.
The number on your package is the least you get, not a target: Starter, for example, guarantees at least 20,000 views worldwide. Google Ads counts a view when someone watches 30 seconds of your video (or all of it, if shorter) or clicks it, and we count them in your Google Ads report. If the budget runs out before your number, the ads keep running at our cost until it is reached. The minimum applies to the market you choose (worldwide, US + Top markets or US only) and to videos Google approves without limits. The same views show on your public view count, which YouTube updates itself, so it can take a little while to catch up with the report. Subscribers, likes, comments, streams and chart positions are not part of the guarantee. The terms are in the refund policy.
Google sometimes approves a music video with limits, for example only for adults, in some countries or on fewer placements. We can still run your campaign. Because fewer people can be shown the video, each view costs more than usual and the campaign takes a little longer to deliver. We tell you before we start what to expect from your package; the guaranteed counts apply to videos approved without limits. The terms are in the refund policy.
We tell you why and appeal to Google, and if an edit would fix it we tell you which one. If the video still cannot be approved, you choose: a full refund of the package, or we use it for another song or release. The terms are in the refund policy.
On entertainment, lifestyle and business titles we work with. It is written for you, with your name in the headline, and you approve every word before it goes live.
Questions you still have after reading this page, the FAQ and the case studies: how we would approach your release, the methods and targeting we would use, what results to expect and what you receive, and when. It is a free 15-minute call and there is no obligation to buy anything.
Four packages, one payment per release: Starter $249 (a guaranteed minimum of 20,000 worldwide views and one feature with your own cover), Pro $499 (50,000), Breakout $1,299 (200,000) and Headline $2,999 (500,000). Pro and up can run worldwide, US + Top markets or US only instead, with fewer views in the US markets; every count is a guaranteed minimum. Editorial features on their own also start at $249 for one publication. Record labels have monthly plans from $2,500 across their roster. For what a music publicist usually charges, see how much music PR costs.
Your plan sets the scope and the fee in writing before anything starts. Nothing starts, and nothing is spent, until you approve it.
