ARTISTS…

After being featured by Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Introducing you may receive emails from PR companies with impressive client lists, saying they like your music and want to help you get further radio airplay. Please be aware this doesn't make you unique or special - lots of our artists receive these emails from companies who are simply seeking new customers for their paid services. Hiring a professional radio promotion team - just because they happen to send you an email - isn't neccessarily the best use of your money at this point.

In our experience emerging artists often achieve the same results as a plugger - sometimes very much better - by simply contacting radio shows and DJs themselves via social media. For suggestions on how to do your own music promotion see the at my Fresh On The Net blog (freshonthenet.co.uk)

If you do decide to pay a PR firm to do this work for you, there are over a hundred to choose from in the UK. Most of them have impressive-looking client lists - but not all of them deliver good value for money. Before paying anybody for promotional services of any kind, always contact at least two of their clients first to ask if they'd recommend that particular company. You can find the management, record company or booking agent for most artists using Google.

Further down the line - as your career gathers momentum - you may decide to invest serious money in a professional PR campaign. The most effective pluggers do charge a lot of money because they're good. But the ones that charge the most money aren't neccessarily the best, so do some research. Check which indie labels are regularly getting their artists played on national radio - then make a friendly phone call to their offices and ask which PR company they would recommend.

And whatever route you choose, don't forget to carry on uploading your new releases to Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Introducing so that we can carry on supporting you as your future career unfolds.
