— Our Manifesto

“We understand music artists… because we are music artists.”

The music promotion journey can be a daunting one — but we believe it doesn’t have to be. We protect our artists from the latest fake-stream policies of the majors. We know it takes guts, grit, and courage to put yourself on the front line. Deep storytelling, deeper connections. We value that and we’re here for every step of the way.

Zero bots, zero fake streams

Every play is a real listener — protected by detection tools that flag artificial activity.

One-on-one A&R touch

You get a real human strategist, not a dashboard. Monthly reports and direct calls.

Full reporting transparency

Spin lifts, monthly listeners, follower count — everything you need to make decisions.

— How it works

Three steps. One tight campaign.

Every artist goes through our screening process. If you’re a fit, we map a personalised plan you actually understand — not industry smoke.

01

Screening Process

There’s music… and there’s great music — which we love. We curate every submission with an uncompromising quality screen, using track fidelity, industry experience and statistical data to see how the song resonates with Spotify, Apple Music and independent networks.

02

The Pitch

If approved, we prep your pitch deck, lock in start dates and gather every asset to set you up properly. Once kicked off, we push hard to land you on the playlist networks where your genre and record will resonate best.

03

Streams & Metrics

Every month you get a full report — spin lifts, monthly listeners, follower count, save rates. We use the latest tooling to detect artificial activity on playlists and protect your profile from it.

They got my single onto 14 editorial-style playlists in five weeks. Real listeners, real saves — finally felt like the streams meant something.

I’ve worked with three other agencies before. None of them gave me actual monthly reporting. Playlist Pump is the first that felt like a real partner.

Their A&R call alone was worth it. They told me my single wasn’t ready and saved me thousands. Came back six months later and we lifted off.

Absolutely not. Every play comes from a real human. We actively use detection tools to flag artificial activity on playlists and protect your artist profile from it.

Standard playlist promotion campaigns run 4 to 8 weeks. Larger PR engagements (TikTok influencer waves, full release campaigns) can stretch up to 3 months depending on scope.

Every campaign is custom-built so we don’t publish flat rates. Most campaigns land between $750 and $7,500 depending on platforms, reach and tier. You get a transparent quote on the A&R call.

Yes — you get a detailed monthly report covering placements, stream lifts, monthly listeners, saves, follower growth, and any artificial activity we caught and blocked.

We’ve placed hip-hop, indie pop, electronic, R&B, alt rock, lo-fi, and ambient with success. If we don’t feel we can move the needle, we’ll tell you on the call rather than take the money.

For independent curator networks — yes, we deliver guaranteed placement numbers. Editorial pitches (e.g. Spotify editorial) are submitted on your behalf with strong odds, but never guaranteed by Spotify itself.
