    Stories we can speak to

    The clipping economy

    How artists, events and creators pay networks of clippers per view to turn sets, vlogs and shows into short clips, and how payouts get approved so botted views don't get paid.

    Real promotion versus bot streams

    What separates legitimate playlisting and creator campaigns from fake plays, and why bot streams get tracks delisted.

    What music promotion actually costs in 2026

    Real prices across playlisting, UGC, clipping and paid social, from a company that publishes its rates in an open campaign builder.

    Creator campaigns across TikTok, Reels and Shorts

    How songs break through creators and edit pages now, and how labels measure it beyond single post views.

    Building music marketing software from a dorm room

    Starting in an NYU dorm in 2019 and growing into 4,000+ campaigns run on in-house software with live client reporting.
