When it comes to promoting your music, should you go DIY or hire a music marketing agency? I’m a big fan of artists and labels learning how to market their music on their own, or having someone on their team that does. However, not everyone can, wants to, or has the time to do the marketing themselves. That’s where an agency comes in.
If you want to learn how to market your own music, check out my YouTube channel or my courses. Now i’m going to tell you about my ad agencies.
Southworth Media
Southworth Media is a music marketing ad agency that was created to provide lower budget music marketing ad campaigns and a la carte services to indie artists and labels. As far as ads go, much of the team and processes are the same between Southworth Media and Forbid Media. However, if you’re looking for a $500 to $2,000 Facebook & Instagram ad to promote your song or playlist on Spotify – Southworth Media has you covered.
You can go on our page and purchase campaigns for your music right now, without any application process. If your campaign is approved we charge your card, if its rejected we cancel the charge.

What is a music marketing agency?
A music marketing agency is a company that markets music using a variety of methods such as social media content strategy, running digital ads or securing influencer collaborations. A music marketing ad agency is specifically a music marketing agency that runs ads.
Learning how to market music yourself can be time consuming, and mistakes can be expensive. Skills such as running digital ads and designing interesting video creative take years to develop. You hire an agency to leverage their experience while also saving you time.
