Music Promotion
No! While we are proud of our success rate with securing editorial playlist placements for our artists and labels, we can never guarantee a placement.
We’ve honed our pitching craft over the years and know what it takes to catch the attention of editors, but we have no control over their final decisions.
If you come across a service that ‘guarantees’ placement in editorial playlists, be very wary. Playlist editors at streaming platforms are impartial and objective in their decision-making, so a service promising features is likely not going to deliver results.
You might be! Eligibility for Discovery Mode is determined by two factors: first, whether your track has surpassed the monetisation threshold (currently 1,000 streams in a 12-month period); and second, whether the track has received a ‘qualifying number’ (that regularly changes) of algorithmic streams organically.
We offer fully managed Discovery Mode, meaning that we can provide you with confirmation of your eligible tracks, opt them in monthly, and remove them if they aren’t performing well.
You can find out more about Spotify’s Discovery Mode here - and drop us a message on live chat if you’d like to know more
If we had unlimited time on our hands, we definitely would! As it is, we’re unfortunately unable to develop bespoke marketing strategies for every artist and label we work with.
However, we are always happy to advise you on any part of your marketing strategy. Every client gets access to our exclusive Music Marketing Guide - and if that doesn’t answer your questions, our marketing team can.
Wondering how to start running Instagram Ads? Not sure if you need a website for your music? Unsure about your EPK? Hop on live chat and we’ll help!
Absolutely not. Paying for streams is against the terms of service on every music platform and is likely to get you fined, your music taken down, or entirely banned from platforms.
Streams that you buy, even if they claim to be ‘organic’ and ‘legitimate’, are more often than not artificial - and streaming platforms are clever enough to spot artificial streaming from a mile away.
You can find out more about artificial streaming (including how to avoid it) here.
It depends on the platform!
We can help you achieve verification for music platforms like YouTube (so you can claim your Official Artist Channel (OAC)), Spotify and SoundCloud.
To achieve Instagram, Facebook or TikTok verification (that coveted Blue Tick), platforms require evidence of an active, secure account and off-platform notability, i.e. other sources on the internet that confirm who you are and what you do, like mentions in news media.
We’re happy to assess your online presence and advise on the likelihood of achieving verification - if we believe you may be successful, we can apply on your behalf.
Social media verification, particularly on Meta-owned platforms, is increasingly difficult to achieve without signing up for (and paying for) Meta Verified.
