music marketing
Artist brand building
Music marketing is the promotion of musical artists, recordings, concerts, and related products to audiences.
It encompasses everything from social media campaigns and playlist placements to merchandise design and tour advertising.
The field has shifted dramatically with streaming platforms, where getting on a curated playlist can make or break a new release.
Labels employ music marketing specialists, but independent artists increasingly handle their own: She spent more time on music marketing than on songwriting.
