Q: Can you tell me a little more about the process and what PR is?
A: PR has been around for a long time. Bigger labels sometimes have PR in house but these days a lot of labels will outsource if they have the budget. The main focus of PR is to get press and exposure for an artist to create awareness. What we do here is send your music to different PR experts who will come back with campaign offers if they are interested in working with you. It usually takes about a week for offers to roll in and once they do an Account Manger from our team will show you the different campaign opportunities that come in from PR experts. If you decide to move forward with a campaign your Account Manager will facilitate the process for you. The Account Manager will be your main point of contact who will be there to answer any questions you may have, provide you with links to articles, facilitate any interview opportunities and more. Furthermore, all campaigns will come with a cloud based spreadsheet where you can follow along with the campaign in real time.
Q: What's the advantage of using Mayhem Music Services over just sending my music directly to a publication?
A: The way the majority of popular publications discover music is through a publicist or PR Firm who pitches them music. It's a publicists job to form strong relationships with press. These days with more music being released than ever those relationships are vital. This has been the standard for decades way before the internet. This is where we come in. We have relationships with almost a hundred prominent PR firms. You get to choose the campaign that's right for you.
Additionally, if you decide to move forward with a campaign an Account Manager will keep you up to date on what's happening. They will facilitate any interview opportunties, update you on articles, answers any questions you may have, update your campaign spreadsheet and more.

A: Some of the offers may include licensing opportunities. If a song is selected we will help guide you through the process. The process can be complicated and we are here to help.
Q: Does it matter when my release was?
A: In this modern age there are near countless bloggers, curators and media outlets that will cover music they are interested in. The thing that matters most is if they connect with the music and want to expose it to their audience.
Q: How much will this cost me?
A: As we mentioned on the about page there are no upfront costs to test out our service! We will listen to your music and if it's approved will also send out your music to PR experts for free. The campaigns from a PR expert start around 95 dollars but you are under no obligation to buy. Unlike many other types of campaigns out there these campaigns come with a guaranteed minimum amount of coverage. There may also be completely free opportunities as well which may pop up. The PR experts are providing a service and what you are paying for is their time to craft a pitch, send it to their contacts and do what they do best in the industry.
Q: I submitted my music and never heard back. How long will I have to wait to know if I'm approved?
A: Unfortunately, we cannot work with everyone who sends us their music and this is based on a variety of factors. It may take a week, a couple weeks or even months depending on our backlog before you hear back from us due to the demand and work flow. If you want to know where you are in the line you can contact us through our contact form here and someone on our staff will give you an update.
Q: What is the success rate for press coverage? And how long does a campaign last?
A: It varies upon a number of factors such as what campaign offer you choose, quality of music, etc? Some PR experts are so confident in their campaigns they even offer a guaranteed amount of coverage. In an extremely rare case where a guarantee is not met we will provide a refund. The campaigns last on average two to three months.
Q: Can I see an example of the features you have obtained?
A: Yes! - We have obtained features, reviews, articles and more from some of the most prominent music outlets on the planet. Check out our coverage page here for a tiny sample.
Q: After press coverage is confirmed how long do I have to wait till it's published?
A: The turn around is usually between two and four weeks for features. Most of the sites have editorial calendars and book about a month in advance. We do provide the link when it is published.
Q: Is it possible to talk to someone more in depth about the offers?
