our guarantee

Most marketing companies take your money, run your campaign and send you a report at the end. Whether it worked or not, they've been paid. That's not how we operate.


All Paid Ads Campaigns

Save Rate Guarantee

If we don't hit a 10%+ save rate on Spotify - against an industry average of 3-5% - we keep working until we do.

At no extra cost to you.

All Playlist Campaigns

Playlist Streaming Guarantee

Every playlist pitching campaign comes with an estimated streaming range. If we don't hit it, we keep pitching until we do

Or your money back.


The risk is ours. The results are yours.

faqs

Depending on your tier, the programme includes content creation shoots, professional photoshoot, live session videos, paid ad campaigns with ad spend included, playlist pitching, email marketing setup and campaigns, fan CRM setup, strategy sessions, headline show management and industry executive sessions. See the comparison table on this page for a full breakdown by tier.
Yes. All tiers can upgrade at any point during the programme. Foundation artists can move to Momentum mid-sprint and we'll build on what we've already started rather than beginning again.
Month 1 is setup - you won't see campaign results yet, but you'll have a content shoot done, your ad account ready and a brand campaign live. From Month 2 onwards your single is in market with a full campaign behind it. Most artists see meaningful audience data within the first four to six weeks of their first campaign.
We'll discuss this on your discovery call. Our shoots are specifically designed to produce ad-optimised assets across multiple formats that work together as a campaign. Most artists find the shoot transformative even if they already have existing material.
Ad spend is included as part of your programme but flows directly from you to Meta - not through us. This means you have full transparency and control over what's being spent on your campaigns. We manage everything else.
Yes, absolutely. We don't take any cut of your streaming royalties, your publishing or your performance income. The headline show profits are also 100% yours. We're a service, not a label.
Most of our strategy, ad management and email marketing work is location-independent. Content shoots and live shows are London-based - if you're not local we'll discuss logistics on your call. Many of our artists travel for shoots and gigs as part of the programme.
You'll have a warm audience, campaign data you own, a retargeting database, a fan email list and a clear picture of what works for your music. All assets belong to you. Many artists return for their next release cycle or continue with ongoing support - but that's entirely your choice.
