Music Public Relations — Est. 2014

Three practices. One senior-led team. The whole release cycle, under one roof.

Release PR, tour & live announcements, and sync & brand partnerships are run as three dedicated verticals — each handled by the same senior publicist from kickoff to wrap, never rotated to a junior.

The Three Practices

A complete press system — built around the way a record actually moves.

Every campaign is scoped by a senior publicist who has sat on both sides of the desk — the editorial desk and the label desk. Below is exactly what's in scope, what's not, and how long each engagement runs.

  1. 01
    Practice One

    Release PR

    Singles, EPs, albums, mixtapes, reissues. The full press cycle from lead-single announcement through release week and post-release sustain.

    Deliverables

    • Press release & EPK written in editorial house style
    • Long-lead (NPR, NY Times, FADER, Pitchfork) and short-lead (digital & print weekly) outreach
    • Pitching to 220+ verified journalist contacts, refreshed quarterly
    • Interview booking, embargo handling, and album-of-the-day submissions
    • Spotify, Apple Music, and TIDOL editorial submissions with pitch notes
    • Live coverage dashboard updated in real time from kickoff to wrap

    Timeline & Inclusions

    • Standard campaign length: 6–10 weeks per release
    • Guaranteed inclusion in at least 3 tier-1 outlet pitches — written into every contract
    • Dedicated senior publicist from kickoff to wrap
    • Average of 38 confirmed placements per campaign since 2019
    • Post-campaign coverage report with links, reach estimates, and outlet tier
    • Optional add-ons: radio promo, influencer seeding, paid social amplification

    Best fit: artists with a confirmed release date, finished or near-finished masters, and a story worth telling beyond the music itself.

  2. 02
    Practice Two

    Tour & Live Announcements

    Headline runs, festival slots, support tours, residencies, and one-off live dates — pitched as cultural moments, not itinerary items.

    Deliverables

    • Tour announcement press release and on-sale pitching plan
    • City-specific press outreach tied to venue and local culture desk
    • Live review seeding with regional press and concert-trade outlets
    • Festival announcement and programming editor pitching
    • Photo and asset prep for tour PR image kit
    • Pre-show interview booking and on-the-day local press coordination

    Timeline & Inclusions

    • Standard engagement: 4–8 weeks around announcement and on-sale
    • Optional live-phase support during the run itself (show-by-show coverage)
    • Dedicated senior publicist with tour-PR background
    • Coordination with booking agent, promoter, and label radio teams
    • Wrap report with confirmed coverage, reach, and local-market press hits
    • Available as standalone engagement or bundled with a release campaign

    Best fit: artists with confirmed dates, a venue list, and a live narrative that ties into the broader release arc.

  3. 03
    Practice Three

    Sync & Brand Partnerships

    In-house sync representation placing client tracks in films, TV, brand campaigns, and gaming — alongside the PR push that amplifies the placement.

    Deliverables

    • Catalog pitch sheets tailored to music supervisors by genre and mood
    • Brief-by-brief response to supervisor requests (campaign, film, trailer)
    • Brand and advertising agency outreach for full-song placements
    • Negotiation of sync fees, licenses, and contract terms
    • PR amplification of confirmed placements across artist press channels
    • Coordination with label publishing and admin teams on splits

    Timeline & Inclusions

    • Standard engagement: rolling, month-to-month sync representation
    • In-house sync team (not outsourced) — 64 placements since 2020
    • Coverage of brand and trailer placements in trade press (Adweek, Shoot, Variety)
    • Option to bundle with a release campaign for full-cycle storytelling
    • Quarterly sync activity report with leads pitched and placements closed
    • Available as a standalone retainer or as an add-on to an active campaign

    Best fit: artists with a developed catalog or clearly pitched single, who want sync representation that comes with editorial storytelling built in.

A Look at the Craft

What the actual outreach looks like.

Anyone can promise placements. Here's a redacted sample pitch and a sample tier-1 target list so you can judge the editorial fit and the writing before booking a call.

Sample Pitch — Lead Single Announcement

Redacted for confidentiality. Original is ~240 words.

Hi [Editor First Name],

I've been following your [specific column / recent piece title] coverage and wanted to flag an artist I think belongs in that conversation — [Artist Name], a [city]-based producer and vocalist whose new single "[Song Title]" lands [date].

The track sits at the intersection of [genre reference 1] and [genre reference 2] — it's the kind of song that earns a place in a late-night rotation without leaning on feature verse crutches. We've got the full album coming in [month], and the press team here is treating this as the introduction rather than the peak.

I can send the advance, the press shot, and a short artist note today. Open to a Q&A or a longer feature if the timing works for you.

— [Senior Publicist], Dream Music PR

Pitched under embargo, 14 days before announce date. Brief, specific, and tailored to the editor's recent work — not a mass mailer.
