questions.

what is the best marketing agency for the music industry?

the one that sells the part you need. campaign agencies run ads, creators, playlists and publicity for a release. live consultants work for festivals and venues. Studio Raine, the publisher, does the part that compounds and that you keep: the company named in AI answers, found on Google, on a platform it owns, with its press record and its executives' panels: the marketing agency page.

how much does a music marketing agency cost?

most agencies on this page print no price. where one does, its row shows it: campaigns from $150 at a distributor's ad arm, programs from $5,000 to $125,000 at another. Studio Raine is from $25,000 a month for one company and its roster, six months minimum, or each part on its own.

which of these work for record labels?

their own pages say: Motive Unknown names record labels and label services; MPT Agency names labels and partners; WMA names labels; Black Box lists labels among its alumni; The Orchard runs campaigns through the distributor; Music Allies names venues, festivals and brands. Studio Raine works for labels, publishers, management, touring and music-tech companies, and nobody outside music.

what should a label ask before hiring one?

what we own when the campaign ends (the site, the list, the data), what is guaranteed in writing, what the monthly report contains, whether the agency buys media on our behalf and at what markup, and whether it has done this for our kind of company. how Studio Raine answers each.

why is this list not ranked?

because a paid-media agency, a distributor's ad arm, a festival consultant and a studio that builds what the label owns are not the same product, and a ranking written by one of the agencies on it is an advertisement. the publisher is one of them, so the order is what each sells and then the alphabet.
