At Quite Great, we work with acts of all sizes and musical styles from all around the world, we strive to make sure that there is an easy-to-follow plan and that there are weekly reporting structures, and that all artists have a clear input into their own campaigns hence following what we hope are the best music pr company practices and understanding fully that our clients want an honest , friendly and efficient service.
Ok, so this sounds like a bit of an advert, and naturally it kind of is, as anyone from a pr company specialising in music blogs primarily advice and help that will attract talent, any companies who don’t make that clear may have other designs on you and your music.
Best music PR companies will tend to follow these 10 rules.
- Follow the plan outlined that the client is paying for.
- Make sure there is a solid reporting structure that the band or artist can relate to.
- Make sure that whoever you work directly with are passionate about achieving their and your aims.
- The company should clearly state the key labels, companies that the main individual running things has worked at hence being clear about their pedigree.
- They should have recommendations sprinkled around their site showing especially developing acts, other satisfied acts at their level with whom they have worked.
- They should have a history of creative publicity that can be seen ideally on their site which shows how they have helped other likeminded acts to gain music pr coverage.
- The company should have a system at the start of the campaign which allows them to fully understand all relevant hooks relating to the artist background and the way their music has come about.
- They must offer a payment in line with an agreement.
- The pr company should have a trading history which means that your campaign will not suddenly fall apart should they enter financial problems which is a major problem within this sector due to the array of small companies of one person trying to cope with too many spinning plates.
- They should be easy to work with so you know that any worries or problems can be fixed when you get your reports.
Follow these simple guidelines and hopefully, you will be working with a team who follow the best music pr company methods of working, as results are always open to question and hence structure and the easy to follow plan is vital to everyone involved in the project development.
