In Store Music Promotion

What is in-store playlist sync?

In-store playlist sync is a direct-to-brand music promotion service that aims to place independent artists music into the background playlists of prestigious and well-known retail stores, cafés, gyms, bars, restaurants and leisure venues.

This unique service forms part of our wider music marketing agency approach, helping independent artists expand their reach beyond streaming platforms and into real-world listening environments.

With in-store playlisting being an untapped way of maximising a song's visibility and brand awareness, we believe that it forms an essential and unique pillar of our holistic music promotion campaigns.

Why is in-store playlist sync important?

In-store playlist sync gives your music real-world exposure. It associates your artist project with trusted, high-profile environments which adds huge credibility as an independent artist. It's more than just background music, it's untapped brand awareness and powerful subliminal marketing.

 

Being featured on curated in-store playlists across retails stores, leisure venues, cafés and restaurants means that your music can be heard by thousands of people each day whilst they shop, socialise or work out. Whether it's Virgin Active gyms in the UK or Starbucks in the US, every placement helps expand your reach, connect with new listeners and maximise your profiles across digital streaming platforms, through Shazam's and algorithmic traction.

Success Story

View Our Artists Success

Our team were engaged to support Australian born, UK based Pop singer Celina Sharma on her single "Bad For You". We were successfully able to leverage our internal relationships with sound designers, brand playlist curators and in-store programmers resulting in both national & international in-store sync placements across 14 major brands including Office Shoes, Puma, USC, Missguided, Urban Outfitters. This meant exposure to a footfall of more than 5 million people weekly, across thousands of sites globally, in turn generating over tens of thousands of Shazam's for her single.
