PUBLICITY:
We don’t believe in tiered “packages” — we treat every client as a priority and strive to provide them with the best coverage possible. We can, of course arrange custom campaigns based around your needs. Typical album campaigns involve securing song and video premieres partnered with top tier online outlets throughout the lead-up to release date. We send email & social media press releases announcing premieres, tour dates and any other relevant news to our full database of thousands of clients throughout the campaign. Digital promo links, supplemented with optional physical mailings, are sent to both long-lead and short-lead contacts. We follow up with all the contacts that were sent copies of the album and collect information on coverage plans and gather clips for reports every 3 weeks.
Tour press: in addition to the national and online campaigns, we directly solicit coverage from regional press in all areas of the tour in support of the release (including hometown shows.)
We also work tracks to Spotify playlists for press outlets and key curators. We pitch the singles to these folks at all of the relevant playlists, as well as Apple Music, Pandora, etc.
Our press campaigns include social media promotion, with posts of all premieres and news announcements, as well as key reviews, news and other coverage shared to Instagram, Twitter, Tik Tok, Facebook, etc. We also track the metrics of these posts for you to keep up on exposure in those areas.
Our rates are competitive and vary upon the parameters of the project. Please get in touch for more details and to discuss how we can help reach your goals. For more information, please contact us: dave@usthemgroup.com
