BUILDING A FANBASE HAS NO POSTCODE.
HERE'S HOW WE WORK WITH ARTISTS ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.
Laid Bare started as a live music platform in London but the core of what we do - strategic digital marketing, playlist pitching & audience building - works from anywhere.
We've worked with artists across the US, Europe and beyond. Where you are has no bearing on what your music can achieve.
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.
And those listeners? They're not all in London.
"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…
but Don't Take Our Word For It...
JO HILL
(Click on the image to read more about Jo’s campaign..)
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.
Jo is based in the UK, but the audience her campaign built spans well beyond it. That's how digital marketing works when it's done properly and focused on Spotify follows, saves & playlist adds.
"Laid Bare have been transformative." - Jo Hill
still pigeon
(Click on the image to read more about their campaign..)From 80-capacity shows to Glastonbury.
Still Pigeon came to us playing to small crowds with a goal of reaching much bigger stages. Within 18 months they had achieved exactly that - selling out a 360-capacity venues and being selected among Glastonbury's top emerging acts after their celebrated performance on the Avalon stage.
Building a genuine fanbase online translates directly to people showing up in real life. Wherever you are, that principle is the same.
"We can't recommend Laid Bare highly enough.” - Still Pigeon
ralph taylor
(Click on the image to read more about Ralph’s campaign..)Results that compound with every release.
Ralph's campaigns have consistently reached new audiences beyond his immediate geography - which is exactly what a strategic digital approach is designed to do.
Each campaign builds on the last - narrowing down on his 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
Ralph went from 0 daily streams to around 2,000 streams per day in one campaign!

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!
It runs entirely online. That’s everything from campaign setup to weekly reporting, so your location makes no difference to how it works or what it can achieve.
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.
We work with artists across multiple time zones and adapt our communication schedule accordingly. You'll never be chasing us.
while you’re at it, could this help?

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.
