Confirmed press placements
Across print, digital, podcast, and broadcast — counted only after the story runs.
Music Public Relations — Est. 2014
Coverage is the product. The relationships are the asset.
A portfolio of where Dream Music PR lands stories — by outlet tier, by format, by geography — assembled from 1,840 confirmed placements in 2023 and ten years of journalist relationships maintained by hand.
By the numbers, 2023
What Dream Music PR actually gets into print and on air.
Every release campaign we run ships with a guaranteed pitch to at least three tier-1 outlets — written into the contract, not promised verbally. On average, a campaign closes 38 confirmed placements across print, digital longform, podcasts, and broadcast, and lands inside a journalist network we refresh quarterly with 220-plus verified contacts.
