Here's Everything You Need To Know
We'd rather you take your time and make the right decision than rush into something that isn't the right fit. So here's an honest look at what working with Laid Bare actually delivers - and why it works.
The Grove had 2,000 monthly listeners.
Four single campaigns later, they're approaching 100,000.
No massive budget. No lucky industry connections. No isolated viral moment. Just a consistent, strategic paid ads approach - the same one we'd be running for you.
This has also translated to their ticket sales, with 3 sold out shows (and counting!) since our first release together.
"Laid Bare have been pivotal in building our online presence - we've had fans flying from around the world to our shows."
- The Grove
Most Music Marketing Doesn't Work. Ours Does. Here's The Difference.
The music marketing industry has a trust problem. Too many companies promise streams, followers and exposure - then deliver numbers that look impressive on a spreadsheet but contribute nothing to an actual career.
We know this because artists come to us after wasting money on exactly that. And we understand the hesitation.
So rather than ask you to take our word for it, take a look at this instead.
Save rate is the metric that matters most.
It tells you how many people who found your music wanted to hear it again. Ours is a minimum of three times the industry average.

From debut single to major label deal.
Jo Hill's first single hit 150,000 streams in its opening month. It's now on 4.5 million. Before her second single was even released, she had signed with Parlophone Records.
That campaign started exactly where yours would, with a strategic paid ads campaign focused on Spotify follows, saves & playlist adds.
"Laid Bare have been transformative." - Jo Hill

Results that compound with every release.
Ralph Taylor has worked with us across multiple releases. Each campaign builds on the last - narrowing down the active audience, increasing save rates and growing monthly listeners consistently.
This is what happens when marketing is treated as an ongoing process rather than a one-off experiment.
"It's been incredibly rewarding to see results improve over multiple releases." - Ralph Taylor

From 80-capacity shows to Glastonbury.
Still Pigeon came to us playing to 80 people with a goal of headlining Moth Club, in Hackney (360 cap). Within 18 months they had achieved that feat and had been selected among Glastonbury's top emerging acts after their legendary performance on the Avalon stage.
Building a genuine fanbase online translates directly to people showing up in real life. That's the whole point.
"We can't recommend Laid Bare highly enough.” - Still Pigeon

If we don't hit a 10%+ save rate, we keep working until we do - at no extra cost!
Here's what that looks like in practice:
a 10%+ save rate on Spotify, against an industry average of more like 3-5% - meaning the people who find your music are genuinely connecting with it

Start here: Stream Surge
Our most popular campaign - and the starting point for most of the artists we've gone on to work with long-term.
Stream Surge is an 8-week data-driven campaign focused on the metrics that actually matter - Spotify saves, follows & playlist adds. Not vanity streams that disappear after a week, but real listeners who want to hear your music again and again!
When will you start seeing results?
Two weeks after your campaign launches, you'll have real data on who your audience is, where they are and what they respond to. That's not just useful for this release - it's the foundation for every campaign you run from this point forward.
Each one builds on the last.
What’s your role?
You keep creating content as normal - the videos and posts you're already making for your own channels become the raw material for your campaign. We take a handful of those and turn them into high-performing Ad creatives, while you focus on what you do best.
Everything else - the targeting strategy, audience research, campaign optimisation and weekly reporting - is handled by us.
You'll always know exactly what's happening, but the heavy lifting is ours.
Need content too? Our Content Creation service can cover that as well, so your campaign has everything it needs from day one.
Need to start smaller? There's an option for that too - Ads Only
If Stream Surge feels like a stretch right now, our Ads Only package covers the core paid ads campaign at a lower entry point - ideal as a first campaign before stepping up!
Many artists use this as an entry point before ensuring that Social Media Marketing is a core component of any future release Campaigns.
while you’re at it, could this help?

Artist Accelerator
The artists who see the best results with us are the ones who treat marketing as an ongoing process rather than a one-off campaign.
After the first campaign, you'll have real data - who your audience is, where they are, what they respond to. The natural next step is putting that to work across a full release strategy.
That's exactly what the Artist Accelerator is designed for.
It brings together everything we offer - marketing, content creation, live shows and industry access - in one programme, with Laid Bare as your dedicated team.
Most artists who start with a standalone campaign find their way to the Accelerator in the end. Some faster than others!
There's no pressure to think about that now. But it's worth knowing it exists.
