Full service promotion, marketing, artist development and content production company for new and archival releases from major, independent, and artist-owned labels. Our team has decades of experience with the most influential artists and albums across many genres and eras.
Customized Promotion
Unique plans for each project to provide the greatest possible benefit to all parties involved – the artists, labels, and managers who hire us, and the radio contacts who appreciate how we present the content.
When a chart campaign is not appropriate, we allow it to succeed on its own terms, with support from a carefully selected panel of programmers and specialty hosts from various genres. We can also help the artists tell their own stories about their work when we produce and distribute radio specials, podcasts, and other media.
Diverse Format and Specialty Contacts
Our decades of experience with many different artists and genres let us deliver the most complete, multi-format plan that a release deserves. Our contacts at local, syndicated, satellite, digital and streaming broadcasters include programmers and specialty hosts at these and other radio formats:
