Music PR

Music PR that runs with your release.

When a fan, a curator or a booker hears your song, they look you up. Music PR decides what they find. Every YouTube music promotion package we run includes editorial features about you, written by our team and published on entertainment and lifestyle titles: the campaign brings people in, and the press gives them something credible to read.

Who it is for

  • Independent artists with a release coming, who want people to find more than a streaming profile when they search.
  • Artists already getting views or streams with nothing written about them yet.
  • Managers and labels planning a release for an artist on their roster.
  • Producers and songwriters stepping out under their own name.

What you get

  • Editorial features about you, written by our editorial team from a short brief, in each title’s own style.
  • Your approval of every word before anything goes live.
  • Publication on entertainment and lifestyle titles such as Hollywood Standard, The California Magazine, The Hollywood Feature, Hollywood Fashion Magazine, The Women’s Reporter, Manhattan Standard and The NY Journals.
  • Your own digital magazine cover with each feature, ready for Instagram, your press kit and your EPK.
  • Links to your music and your profiles, and a “Featured in” badge kit.
  • Each feature live within 24 hours of your approval, so you can time it to the release.

Your cover

Every feature,its own cover.

Each feature comes with a digital magazine cover made for you, in portrait, square and story sizes. Post it, pin it, and put it in your press kit and your EPK.

One release, three stories

One feature tells people who you are. A run of them, on different titles and from different angles, is what makes an artist look established when someone searches the name. Our press runs usually tell three stories:

  • The career so far: where the music has been and why it is getting noticed now.
  • The life story: where you come from and what shaped the sound.
  • The release: the new song or project, published on release day.

You can see full press runs, with every feature as a live link, for Ella Langley, Alex Warren, Summer Walker, Gracie Abrams, Joey Bada$$, Leon Thomas and sombr, or browse all the music case studies.

How music PR is priced

Music PR is not sold on its own here. It comes with the YouTube campaign for your music video, because the two work together: the campaign gets the video seen, and the features are what people find when they look you up afterwards.

  • Starter and Pro: one editorial feature with your own cover.
  • Breakout: two features, one before the release and one after it.
  • Headline: four features, each with its own cover.
  • Record labels: one to three features per release, on a monthly plan for 3 to 8 releases a month.

The packages and their views are above. For the YouTube side in full, see our music promotion services.

Music PR next to a music publicist

A music publicist pitches your release to blogs, playlists, radio and press, usually on a monthly retainer, and none of that coverage is guaranteed. When it lands, it is coverage you could not have bought, and nothing here replaces it.

What we add is certainty and timing. The features are written by our own editorial team and published on titles we work with, on the dates you choose, so your release has press behind it from day one. Read what music PR costs and how to get music press coverage to compare the routes.

Questions

Before you start.

Can I buy music PR without a YouTube campaign?

Our music PR comes with the YouTube music promotion packages, because the campaign and the features work together. If you only want press for a release, contact us and we will tell you what fits.

How many features do I get?

Starter and Pro include one feature, Breakout two (before and after the release), Headline four, and the record label plan one to three per release. Each feature comes with its own digital cover.

Can the features go live on release day?

Yes. Each feature goes live within 24 hours of your approval, so we plan the approval around your release date. Tell us the date when you send the brief.

Which titles will I be featured on?

Entertainment and lifestyle titles we work with, such as Hollywood Standard, The California Magazine and The Hollywood Feature. Our editors recommend the title and the angle that fit your music.

Do you pitch blogs, playlists or radio?

No. The features are written and published by our editorial team on the titles we work with. We do not pitch third-party blogs, playlists or radio.
