Answered straight.
No hedging — each answer leads with the truth. The #1 buyer question (ad budget) goes first, not buried.
No — and this is the most important thing to understand up front. Your ad spend is completely separate from what you pay us. You set the budget, the money goes straight to the platforms, and you see exactly where every dollar goes. Our fee is for the work — strategy, setup, weekly optimization, and reporting. We never mark up ad spend or hide it inside our pricing.
Artist managers, labels, and independent artists who are serious about the work. We're built for managers and labels juggling multiple artists who need a reliable execution layer — but we take on independent artists when the music and the commitment are there. If you're looking for someone to run the operational side so you can focus on the music and the relationships, that's us.
No one honest can guarantee a number — and anyone who does is selling you something. What we guarantee is the work: real strategy, weekly optimization, and honest reporting. We're measured on results, not activity, and we'll tell you the truth about what the numbers are doing — including when something isn't working and we're changing course. We've driven big outcomes (1.2B TikTok views on one campaign), but we sell execution and accountability, not promises.
Most agencies hand you a strategy and walk away from the execution. Distributors get your music onto platforms and stop there. We do the part in the middle that actually moves the needle — running the release, managing the ads, optimizing weekly, and reporting on what it produced. We're an operating partner, not a slide deck or a delivery pipe.
No lock-in games. We offer single-release engagements and ongoing partnerships depending on what you need, and the scope is clear before you commit. If it's not working, you're not trapped — we'd rather keep clients because the work is good than because the contract is sticky.
Tell us about the artist and the goal — one short conversation. We'll tell you straight whether you need a release run, paid scaled, advisory, or nothing from us yet. If it's a fit, we scope it, agree on price and timeline, and get to work. No drawn-out sales process.
