Get your music featured in magazines, radio, and more!
When you think of your presence in the media, what springs to mind? Could you be doing more to get yourself featured in publications and get your music out there? If your answer is yes, then let MusicMissile help with our bank of media contacts within the music industry. If your answer is no, read on to find out exactly how media contacts can benefit and support you on your music mission.
Think of music media platforms as communication outlets, often separated by genre to appease a certain audience of music lovers. For example, Rock Sound is a publication that tends to cater to rock and metal fans. These music media platforms are authorities when it comes to news and opinions surrounding the music world, and often influence how the public should interpret a piece of new music.
It is in a media outlet’s main interest to offer refreshing breakthrough content to the public. For this reason, gaining airtime or achieving exposure in magazines is difficult, as these opportunities are often based on what your music project looks and sounds like, and what it might stand for. As a rule, the media generally covers news, entertainment, education, and yet, is still perceived as a promotional platform. The most traditional areas that feature in music media include - but are not limited to - magazines, television, blogs, radio, and podcasts. By conducting independent research on your music media outlet of interest, you could approach them with a direct inquiry. However, as the outlets get bigger, you may want to consider working with a music PR agency, as your message could get lost in a sea of similar messages.
Unfortunately, if you’re part of a newly formed band or an artist fresh on the scene, you may find you have to work even harder to prove yourself worthy of recognition. Cue MusicMissile. Before you start to take those first steps up the ladder of progression, consider using music media outlets to give you that much-needed push. MusicMissile has a wealth of music media contacts available for you to browse and potentially work with, but how exactly can they help you?
One way in which music media platforms can help is to offer promotion and exposure in the form of reviews. Most music based publications have specific sections for this, and if you’re able to get a large media outlet on board (within your particular genre), gaining a positive review is something worth shouting about. It is also a bragging right and could even create further engagement for you from other media. For MusicMissile, media inclusion is crucial for your music mission. Consider this: if a large music media publication champions a breakthrough artist, this could result in full-page spreads distributed in large shopping outlets, radio time on mainstream stations, television coverage, and more. Think about how much this could develop the profile behind a band, artist, or brand.
