It’s been a huge few weeks for the incredible artists we’re working with on their online marketing… and we couldn’t be prouder!

✨ Jenny Mitchell just released her stunning new album Forest House, already landing on New Music Friday, All New Country, and Heaps Country playlists on Spotify. She’s currently touring Australia with Kasey Chambers, with her own headline album tour kicking off soon.

✨Greta O’Leary’s debut album River Dark has entered the Aotearoa Album Charts at #9. Her singles have become student radio favourites, and 13th Floor says:

“River Dark captures the tension between fragility and resilience, both lyrically and musically.”

✨The Response have just dropped You Never Run — a track that sounds like it was made for a Netflix series. They recently opened for Stellar at The Piano and are set to play Go Live Festival in Christchurch later this year.

✨Steffany Beck has come out swinging with Country Strong. After a standout set at the Bay of Islands Country Rock Festival, she’s catching attention from 13th Floor and has even landed a feature in Rolling Stone.

Think we might go have a cuppa tea and a lie down after all that!

We love working with artists from Aotearoa. If you’ve got a release or project coming up and could use some online marketing support, let’s chat ☕️

Have I been slack about posting the artists I’ve been working with….100%. That’s because I’ve been busy doing the mahi!

I’ll change that now by sharing some photos from album release show. It was a spectacular evening with an all star band to show off Lee’s new songs. As you can see .nz was packed to the rafters.

Go take a listen to her music!! ❤️

The last two sessions will be held by covering what you need to have prepared in order to hold a successful release and a handy timeline to follow. She will also cover how to tackle your social media and give you effective strategies and techniques to promote your song once it’s out.
