Press, PR, Marketing Campaign
MUSICIANS / BANDS please DO NOT buy the services below (esp. the Press Campaigns) without firstly speaking to Derek. At least TWO members of the New Found Sound team NEED to ❤️ your music for us to create a Press campaign for you, we ONLY work with artists that our team like musically. Please email us [email protected]
New Found Sound has been delivering award-winning press / marketing, social media campaigns since 2009. Our team consists of music journalists (since 2007), managers, promoters and musicians. We KNOW what makes a brilliant campaign.
We have our entry level / Light campaign @ £295 our Standard campaign is £495 and Advanced is £925. These include us creating an Electronic Press Kit and pitching your music (as below). Additional services can be added (enhanced playlists, video release, social media, marketing).
LIVE GIGS around the same time as when you release music increases the possibilities of coverage. We recommend AT LEAST one launch show to coincide with your new single release (it is possible with no gigs, just makes securing coverage more difficult). The more gigs you have in the calendar, the more publications, stations and music journalists we can pitch you to, and the more likely it is we'll secure airplay / coverage. As a result, we've teamed up with UK-wide live music gig swap network Off Axis, IF you organise a gig with Off Axis we'll offer you a £50 discount visit OffAxisGigs.com
DELIVERY / TIMELINE ➡ we advise you approach us at least 8 weeks BEFORE your single is released. ideally, we should have a 6 week timeline to pitch your song, for the best chance of securing coverage / airplay (it is possible with less time, but it makes it more difficult).
PAYMENT ➡ we can be flexible, most of our team are or have been musicians so we know it's tough, you can secure our services with a Deposit then pay the remainder fortnightly or monthly
