Don’t rely on a roll of the dice to get your concert heard about; rely on the experts instead!

Music PR

What is music PR and what does it entail? With over three decades of experience in the PR industry, we have the expertise to answer these questions. Music PR is a promotional campaign technique or strategy to promote interest amongst the media, record companies, and the general public about a band or musical artist. A music PR campaign typically involves the promotion of live tours or new music releases. 

Music PR companies like Lobeline Communications use a vast network of contacts in their media circles and the PR music industry in order to promote the musical artist’s brand and tell their story. 

A music PR agency works with the musical artist to create both short-term and long-term goals focused on developing improved awareness by the public and the media. In the public relations music industry, PR companies use campaigns, artist interviews, and PR concert reviews to keep the musical artist or band in the spotlight. But how does music PR actually work? Let’s take a closer look. 

Generate Interest 

To effectively capture the attention of the masses, you need to create a buzz that generates interest in your music. Music PR campaigns find ways to get the media and the public excited about musical artists and bands. Lobeline Communications knows how to utilize the correct channels for your intended audience to garner the attention you need to be successful. Some of our strategies include: 

• Radio promotions
• Network TV interviews
• Cable TV spots
• Website design and curation
• Viral marketing
• E-mail blasts
• Newspaper and magazine articles 
• Social media marketing 

We are agile in our approach, knowing that a blend of traditional and modern strategies delivers the best results for our clients. 

Develop Press Kits 

Any public relations campaign for music needs an appealing press kit. The press kit contains promotional material and resources for editors, interviewers, and reporters. Typical elements of a Lobeline press kit include:

• Biography detailing the artist or band
• A high-quality photograph of the musician(s)
• Links to performance videos
• Tour information/performance dates (if applicable) 
• Quotes from noteworthy interviews 

It’s also a good idea to include a link to SoundCloud, Spotify, or other streaming platforms where your music can be played. 

Create a Strong Media Presence

Social media has been a total game-changer for the music industry. With the rise of platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, musicians can bypass traditional routes like TV and radio and connect directly with their intended audience. However, to do so effectively, you need the guidance of an entertainment public relations firm. 

Lobeline Communications works with artists and bands in social media management to craft authentic, engaging content that connects with an audience. We can also design beautiful websites that speak to your overall brand, style, and voice. In this modern world, it’s vital you have a strong online presence to drive engagement. Let us help take your online presence to the next level. 

Music PR Best Practices 

Forward-Thinking Strategies 

It’s not enough to think about right now. For your public relations campaign to truly be successful, you need to plan for the future. After all, many media outlets and services work months in advance. Lobeline Communications is extremely familiar with these timelines. As such, we can create a campaign that follows the appropriate lead time needed for national publications, press tours, and promotional events. When you work with us, you can stay ahead of the game with a strategic, forward-thinking plan. 

Take a Digital Approach

It may go without saying, but to be a successful musician in the modern age, you need a digital approach. These new digital tools allow musical artists and bands to achieve mainstream success in entirely new ways. They also allow you to form deeper connections with your fans. However, it’s important to keep in mind that the internet never sleeps. As a result, capturing and keeping an audience’s attention is a 24/7 hustle. Lobeline Communications knows you want to focus on your artistry—the music. Let us handle the rest. 

Embrace the Idea of a Publicist 

At first, having a publicist may seem like a foreign concept. You’re more than likely used to handling all things related to your career. So, handing the reins over to someone can be unsettling. But, when you work with Lobeline Communications, you can rest easy. We have the experience needed to guide your career in the right direction.  

By embracing the idea of working with a publicist, you can remove any tension from the relationship. We are on your side, and your concerns are our concerns. It’s important to note that the music publicist is not the musical artist’s manager or responsible for cutting deals. Our responsibility is to handle your media image and brand story.
