Setup & Planning
Our channel managers will format, upload, optimize and release your official video. If you don't have one, we will create an official music video, lyric video or visualizer from raw footage you supply us, along with a Short which can also be used on Instagram and Facebook and TikTok. We will run Youtube ads to get your video views and subscribers. We will do a basic cleanup of your channel to make sure it's easy to navigate and prioritizes your best music. We will review your channel to see if your channel and your songs are monetized and if your channel is following all Youtube best practices, and if it's not, we'll consult with you on how to get there.
- Punchy, well-formatted, professionally released videos with eye-catching thumbnail that give you a fighting chance on the feed
- A cohesive channel that puts your brand, your best music and video in front
- Increased views on your official video
We will pitch your song to our network of curators that control hundreds of lyric video channels driving hundreds of millions of views for labels like Universal and Sony. The channels that enjoy your track will upload it to their channels in the form of unofficial lyric videos, or as one song in a mix of similar artists. Lyric videos will feature smart links pointing back to your official channel and Spotify.
- Introduction of your brand and single to millions of the most engaged music listeners on Youtube
- Increased organic traffic to your Youtube channelt
- Long-term campaigns can result in significant increases in organic traffic to your Spotify - without the dreaded 'click-out' that can result in being placed in playlists that don't fully complement your sound
- Increased searchability on Youtube and Google
- Increased earnings via Content ID
Content Creation
Social media ad campaigns are the best way to find fans for your new music. We define your target audience from a list of demographic, musical and geographical criteria and get your song and video in front of them across Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and TikTok to get you more return on your ad spend and a clearer view of who and where your fans are.
- Social media ad campaigns can be optimized for music video views, social engagement or new followers
- Social media ad campaigns send people who already like your song to hear more on Spotify. Unofficial playlists often have low user retention, which hurts your song in Spotify's algorithm.

Services
Press & Radio
We are a music promotion and marketing team. We operate like a traditional PR company in the sense that we create campaigns that are not focused just on one specific service - like playlisting, for instance. Rather, we create campaigns that combine a range of services, and we pitch your music and supervise your campaign instead of putting our clients in the driver's seat. We believe this is the only way to achieve real marketing progress.
Content Creation
We don't make our packages public, because we have to be selective in who we work with, and we prefer to tailor each campaign. Please contact us to discuss prices.
YouTube Curator Network
360 distribution deals are available only on a very limited basis, due to the heavy time and resource commitment involved, and are only available to artists with a strong online fanbase. Please contact us to discuss
