Frequently Asked Questions - Playlist Pump PR Agency

General Questions About Our Music Promotion Services

1. How do I apply for a playlist promotion campaign?

Whether it’s for SoundCloud, TikTok, Spotify, or another platform, simply fill out the submission form and set up a call with us!

2. How much does a playlist promotion campaign cost?

Each campaign is different and tailored to each artist’s specific needs. Talk to us first, and we’ll send you the correct Service Deck on pricing.

3. How long does the playlist promotion campaigns run for?

Each campaign varies in duration. Please discuss your requirements with one of our team first for an obligation-free quote.

4. How many streams should I expect to receive from a playlist promotion campaign?

If another agency can give you an exact answer to this question, you are probably getting scammed and will get a penalty from either the distributor or the provider, such as Spotify. Our campaigns are organic and safe, so we cannot give you an accurate answer here. There are so many different variables to how a successful campaign will go and how many streams it will generate.

5. Is there a guaranteed number of streams or playlists delivered per campaign?

No, we DO NOT give any guarantees. As with any PR service, there are never any guarantees. We won’t approve a campaign submission unless our A&R team truly believes we will be able to achieve maximum results. The strength of the recording and the pre-existing traction around the artist are very important. Book a call with us now for an obligation-free discussion of our requirements.

6. How long will a song stay on the playlist?

First, we’ll make certain our track suits the playlist it is added to. This will ensure it stays on that playlist and gets the maximum number of spins. We will also push for it to remain on that playlist as much as we can. Typically, most playlists keep the song on that playlist for anywhere from 30 to 60 days.

7. What genre's can you work with your playlist promotion campaigns?

We work with most genre’s, Urban, Hip-Hop, Trap, R&B, Soul, Pop, EDM, House, Rock, Blues-Rock, Indie Rock & Pop, Latino Urban Pop, and more recently Portugues Urban Hip-Hop. However, if you qualify for the World Editorial campaign, it can be any genre.

8. How many songs can I pitch to a playlist promotion campaign?

We mainly work with singles but should you want to run multiple songs or an album campaign, just mention it during your consultation and our team will put together a customized campaign to help you save money, realizing the cost that comes with releasing an EP or an LP.

9. If I wanted to use a number of your digital pr services for a campaign, will I get a discount?

We understand how costly marketing your own record can be, especially if you are an independent artist or label. That’s why we here at Playlist Pump PR Agency are able to customize a bundle deal for you to make it all worthwhile, ensuring that your release will see the light of day and get the exposure it really deserves! Not to mention the savings on the cost of the campaign.

10. When is a refund acceptable for your playlist and other digital promotion services?

Once a campaign has begun, we are already affecting a significant cost to our company, so we do not offer refunds once the campaign has begun. However, in the rare case that we achieve 0 results for a client, we would offer a refund (this hasn’t happened to date, and we’re pretty sure by our own track record, it never will).

11. What If I don't get approved for a campaign?

Above all things, we honour ourselves and the artists we deal with in our A&R process. We have been in the industry for a long time and are professional musicians in our own right. We will never judge you, and you can be comfortable with us speaking honestly to you; however, if you don’t meet our criteria to qualify for a campaign, there is nothing we can do in regard to that particular record. We are more than happy to take another record into consideration for approval as well as give you advice if there is a need.

12. Does Playlist Pump PR Agency have an affiliate or referral program?

Yes. We have a great referral program for artists and curators. You will receive 10% off the campaign price for each new artist you refer who commences a campaign with us.

13. How do I invoice?

Once you are ready to press to begin a campaign, you will hear from our accounts team to proceed to the next phase. Once we have received payment, our campaign will begin.

14. Can I speak to someone throughout the campaign or is there a robot on the other end of the computer?

Our team consists of highly qualified A&Rs, Musicians, and Account Managers. The appropriate team member will be assigned to your campaign and will be your point of contact throughout the process. We will offer you personal service to ensure you feel secure every step of the way. Your future is our concern!

15. How often will we get an update on any of the pr campaign status?

Your account manager looking after your campaign will be available to answer any of your questions throughout the duration of the campaign. They will send you interim & final campaign reports with transparent data on how the campaign is fairing. They will also send you emails from time to time when big playlist additions come through with the link so that you can promote the placement via your social media channels.
