      Had an awesome experience with Melty Cone Video. The whole team was super easy to work with and really knew what they were doing. The studio setup was clean, organized, and honestly way more professional than I expected. They listened to what we wanted, gave great direction, and still let us have creative input without making anything stressful. The final video came out super clean, great lighting, great editing, and exactly the vibe we were going for. You can tell they actually care about the outcome and not just getting the job done fast. If you need a video production team that’s talented, friendly, and actually fun to work with, this is the place. Would 100% work with them again.

      Terry Music's Review Sourced from Google

      Based on my experience, they are the best music marketing company out there. On top of being extremely knowledgable, these guys not only set up my artist career, but also a business pipeline to grow revenues and sustainable income. Not just by selling merch or vinyls or courses, actual products!. They actually build funnels and automation And were able to push for results. The structure was so ideal for me. Yes, it cost me an arm and a leg, but it was a better investment than any online course guru or so-called agencies I had a point of contact for every single person that worked on my campaign, and it felt fulfilling to hear them speak. They know what they preach about that is what sits them apart from all the saturation. I am extremely grateful because as a manager, I now have ROI I simply pay them a small retainer fee for consultation. I never believed in online agencies or courses or programs, I thought all of them were rigged. But I can now say that there are some nice people out there. This may not be a fit for you. It cost me 5 digits!!!!! But just with the knowledge , I already feel the confidence to set up my own future marketing campaigns, and I now know the drill. If the artist has talent with these guys, every dream becomes a reality. I apologize for writing so long, if you read this, I hope this changes your life, this is your sign, this is the real deal. Thanks for changing my life! I will be forever grateful!

      I had originally given MPT a 3 star review because there were early communication issues but after a Anto personally reached out and resolved these issues, I'm revising to 4 stars. They went the extra mile to meet my needs after I expressed concern. I used MPT to run ads to boost my music video. They know how to get you views. I started off running youtube ads myself with middling success. As soon as they took over, the views shot up. These were good quality views, with likes and engagement. Not bots. They're are able to provide value beyond what you can do yourself. Although we didn't meet our initial goal of 750k views, Anto reached out and continued to provide free promotional services until a satisfactory metric was met. I really appreciated that extra attention. I will be using MPT for future music video promotion

      I was the project manager for developing a website for my partner's dental practice in midtown Manhattan (davidsondmd.com, if you want to see it). Nick and team at Empirical designed the logo and branding and created the website. Absolutely everything they did was high quality, and the results are delightful. We are really pleased with the website and are proud to have it represent the business. Nick was great to work with. He listened carefully to what we were looking for, and was proactive and creative in designing options. He was also very responsive to questions and requests, and worked hard to get even the last details done right. I am very happy with the results and highly recommend Nick and Empirical.

I would recommend nick and his business to anyone in need of design work, no doubt about it!

      Daniela Escamez's Review Sourced from Google

      Influencer Hero has become part of my everyday workflow. Everything I need is in one place, from discovering creators (their tools and filters are excellent!) to managing outreach with email flows and clear status tracking. You can even handle payments directly through the platform, which makes the process so much easier I also love the design: it’s clean, friendly, and easy on the eyes, no overwhelming clutter or unnecessary buttons, so no user paralysis, just what you need to get work done efficiently. They’re constantly rolling out new features, and the best part by far is their support team. They’re so friendly, and always willing to guide you through their software, take feedback, and help whenever you need it. I’d 100% recommend Influencer Hero over other massive outreach platforms, it’s more efficient, userfriendly, and genuinely supported by a team that cares.

      This was a great platform for our small business and the Influencer Hero team worked hard to help our start up get going.

It saved us so many hours of trying to manage the email flows ourselves and the database they have for influencers is massive

      Influencer Hero has been a powerful platform for scaling our influencer campaigns. It brings everything together—from outreach to onboarding—in one clean, efficient dashboard. The ability to send mass emails has made our workflow much smoother compared to relying on DMs or TikTok Shop tools. We’ve onboarded two brands with Influencer Hero so far and have been really impressed by how easy it is to run large-scale gifting programs. The customer support is also outstanding—Teresita, our rep, has been incredibly responsive and supportive every step of the way.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do music marketing agencies typically do?

Music marketing agencies help artists grow awareness, reach new listeners, and support music releases through coordinated promotional campaigns. They may work with independent artists, bands, songwriters, labels, producers, and distributors. 

Common music marketing services include: 

  • Social media marketing: Building an artist's presence on platforms like TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, and X through content strategy, fan engagement, short-form video campaigns, and audience growth. 
  • Influencer marketing for music: Partnering with creators and tastemakers to feature an artist's music in content that expands reach and introduces songs to new audiences. 
  • Streaming promotion: Promoting music on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and SoundCloud through playlist pitching, release strategy, audience targeting, and platform-specific optimization. 
  • Music PR (public relations) and media coverage: Securing press coverage, interviews, reviews, blog features, and podcast placements to increase visibility and strengthen an artist's public profile. 
  • Radio promotion: Pitching tracks to radio programmers, DJs, and station contacts to pursue airplay opportunities. 
  • In-store playlist: Placing music in playlists used by retail stores, cafes, bars, gyms, and other public venues to create offline exposure. 
  • Sync licensing: Pursuing placements in movies, TV shows, commercials, video games, or creator content. 

Some music marketing companies also offer broader digital marketing services, including brand strategy, search engine optimization (SEO), content marketing, email marketing, and paid advertising. 

How much do music marketing services cost?

Music marketing services cost between $500 and $25,000+ per release. The actual cost will depend on your target market, service type, marketing campaign scale and complexity, goals, and timeline. 

Music marketing companies often offer service packages or pricing tiers, with the following ranges: 

  • Starter packages begin at $500-$5,000 per release and are often directed at indie artists. They includes branding, social media marketing, local PR, and targeted ads. 
  • Mid-tier packages cost $5,000-$15,000 per release and involve digital ad campaigns, playlist pitching, influencer collaborations, regional PR and marketing campaigns, Spotify Artist optimization, and music blog coverage. These packages are often tailored for established indie artists, small labels, or EP/album releases. 
  • Full-scale campaigns start at $20,000 per release, but can reach over $100,000. Music marketing services in this tier include nationwide or global PR strategies, radio promotion, in-store playlisting, tour promotion, and video content production. 

A good rule of thumb is to dedicate 30%-40% of your production budget to music promotion and digital marketing.  

What is the difference between music PR firms and music marketing companies?

Music PR firms focus on securing media coverage and shaping an artist's public profile. Their work often includes: 

  • Writing and distributing press releases 
  • Pitching journalists, blogs, magazines, and podcasts 
  • Securing interviews, reviews, and feature stories 
  • Managing artist reputation and crisis communications 

Music marketing companies focus more broadly on audience growth, fan engagement, and campaign performance. Their services often include: 

  • Brand strategy and artist positioning 
  • Social media marketing and paid advertising 
  • Content creation and release campaigns 
  • Email marketing and fan retargeting 
  • Website and landing page optimization 
  • Streaming promotion and platform optimization 

In practice, the line between PR and marketing is often blurred. Many music marketing companies offer PR services, and many PR firms support broader digital promotion as part of a release campaign. 

When should you consider hiring a music marketing agency?

It depends on your goals, internal capabilities, and budget. Hiring a music marketing agency may make sense in situations like these: 

  • You are just getting started and need guidance on audience research, branding, release strategy, and channel selection. 
  • You want to increase your promotional efforts quickly but do not have the time, team, or expertise to do it effectively in-house. 
  • You want to spend more of your time creating music while experienced professionals manage campaign execution.
  • You are planning a larger regional, national, or international release and need help scaling your marketing efforts. 
  • Your current marketing efforts are not yielding the results you want, and you require external expertise to improve performance. 
  • You are dealing with a reputation issue or PR challenge and need support rebuilding public trust and visibility. 

In general, artists tend to benefit most from hiring a music marketing company when they have clear goals, a release plan, and sufficient budget to support a coordinated campaign. 

How far in advance should you plan a music release?

Most artists should start planning a music release about 3 to 5 months in advance for a fully coordinated campaign. This gives enough time to develop a strategy, prepare promotional assets, pitch to media and playlist curators, coordinate influencer outreach, and build momentum before release day. 

That said, the right timeline depends on your current audience, goals, budget, and campaign scope. 

For example, you may need more lead time if you are producing a music video, launching multiple singles before an album, or coordinating a larger PR and marketing campaign. Newer artists may also benefit from a longer runway so they have more time to build awareness and grow their audience before the release.
