Most music promotion services will take your money, run a template campaign and move on to the next artist. Now Listen PR operates differently. We are selective about who we work with, consultancy-led in how we work and we have seven years of specific, verifiable results to back up every claim on this page.
We have been operating as a UK-based music marketing consultancy since 2019. In that time we have run campaigns across multiple genres, territories and release scales. The figures below are specific and verifiable.
100 Million+
Combined streams generated across our artist roster
200+
Five-star client reviews across Trustpilot and Google
7 Years
Continuous operation as a UK-based music marketing consultancy
BBC Radio 1
BBC Introducing and BBC Radio 1 Track of the Week secured for roster artists
Sold Out
Headline shows in two major UK cities for Loud Liars, The DRIIVE and numerous other artists
10+ Genres
Campaigns spanning pop, R&B, soul, hip-hop, country, indie, rock and urban music
As a leading UK music marketing agency, Now Listen PR builds bespoke campaigns around real audience growth, long-term streaming performance and honest artist development. We do not sell fixed promotion packages or guarantee vanity metrics. Every campaign is planned around the artist, the release, the audience and the outcome we believe we can realistically help achieve.
No Generic Packages
We do not force artists into one-size-fits-all packages. Before we agree to work together, we assess the music, goals, timeline, budget, creative assets and current audience. If we do not believe we can genuinely help, we will say so. If we can, we explain the campaign direction clearly before anything begins.
Every Campaign Is Bespoke
Your campaign is built around your specific sound, audience, release goals and current stage. That can include DSP pitching, digital press, social advertising, in-store playlisting, TikTok strategy, creative direction or wider consultancy, depending on what the project actually needs.
Every Decision Is Intentional
We do not chase activity for the sake of it. From which playlists to target, to which press angles to lead with, to which audience segments to test through advertising, every decision is made to build genuine traction and useful data for the next stage of your career.
Seven Years Of Music Promotion
Now Listen PR has spent seven years helping independent artists, labels and developing acts build measurable momentum. Our campaigns have contributed to streaming growth, editorial playlist support, press coverage, in-store sync placements, social audience growth and long-term fan development across multiple genres.
We work with a small number of artists at any one time. That is a deliberate choice. It means every artist we take on gets genuine senior attention, not a slot in a queue. The artists below are a representative selection of just a few of the independent acts we have supported.
HABITS
An independent act supported across press, playlisting and audience development as part of a long-term campaign strategy. Their track "Still Dreaming" generated over 363,000 streams, 15,000+ saves and reached more than 112,000 unique listeners. Discover Weekly and Release Radar were both triggered organically as a result of the campaign.
Celina Sharma
A 360-degree campaign spanning DSP promotion, social advertising and in-store sync. Celina Sharma achieved 1M+ Spotify streams, alongside placements across 14 major international brands, including Puma, Missguided, Office Shoes and USC. A sustained campaign that continued to generate organic growth well beyond the initial release window.
Valencia Grace
A full release campaign covering press outreach, streaming promotion and content strategy. Her track "En Repeat" grew from 13,962 to over 60,000 organic streams across six weeks, with 54,500 monthly listeners and placement in over 2,900 playlists. Valencia Grace returned for a second campaign on the strength of those results.
Loud Liars
Live fanbase development resulting in sold-out headline shows in two major UK cities, support slots alongside Biffy Clyro and Korn, and attention from BBC Radio 1's Alyx Holcombe. The band came in with no brand, no image and no existing fanbase. Now Listen PR built everything from the ground up around their debut single.
Mishka
100,000+ streams. 2,000+ new followers. 13 press placements secured including Earmilk, Flex and We Speak Media. Mishka came to Now Listen PR with an existing audience and a clear goal: turn passive listeners into active fans and build a genuine streaming presence that reflected the quality of the music. The campaign delivered across every metric it was designed to move. Press coverage, follower growth and streaming traction all moved in the same direction.
The DRIIVE
A long-term campaign across streaming, press, social and influencer marketing. Over 5 million streams globally, 6 editorial playlist placements including New Music Friday UK and WMG Topsify support, BBC Introducing Track of the Week and a BBC Radio 1 spin with Alyx Holcombe. As of 2024, his project has attracted the attention of multiple major labels. The DRIIVE also supported Danny Jones (McFly) on a 9-date UK tour.
The Curse Of K.K Hammond
5 million+ people reached across Instagram and Facebook. 8,000+ vinyl copies sold. Spotify followers from 5,300 to 16,700. Instagram from 34,000 to 90,000+. A campaign that demonstrated how the right social strategy can translate directly into tangible commercial results for an independent artist. One of the strongest social growth stories across the entire Now Listen PR roster.
Meli Foster-Turner
A multi-release campaign spanning streaming, digital press and paid social. Starting from ground zero, Meli Foster-Turner has grown to nearly 19,000 monthly Spotify listeners, with tracks surpassing 50,000 streams and 15+ international press features, including EARMILK, The Music Ninja and Music Crowns. A returning client focused on sustained audience growth across multiple releases.
No ethical music promotion agency can guarantee streams, playlist placements, press coverage, radio support or algorithmic traction. Anyone promising fixed numbers before hearing the music, understanding the artist, reviewing the assets or assessing the release plan is not being honest.
What we can guarantee is a serious, strategic campaign built around your release, your audience and your long-term goals.
What We Can Guarantee
An honest assessment of your music and assets before a penny is spent
A bespoke campaign built around your release, not a template
Senior involvement from the team on every campaign, not a junior account manager
Outreach to real editorial contacts, curators and press partners we have worked with for years
Live campaign data and reporting so you always know what is working and why
A campaign built to generate data and momentum that outlasts the release window
What We Cannot Guarantee
Fixed stream numbers or guaranteed play counts
Specific playlist placements on named playlists
Confirmed press coverage or radio support
Algorithmic results such as Discover Weekly or Release Radar
Viral moments or guaranteed social traction
Fake or inflated metrics of any kind
We would rather be honest about what is realistic than sell an artist a promise we cannot control.
Now Listen PR is right for artists who want strategic, long-term music promotion.
Now Listen PR works best with artists, labels and managers who have strong music, realistic budgets and a long-term view of growth. We are selective about fit because the campaign has to make sense for the release, the timing and the wider strategy.
Strong music ready for promotion
Clear ambition and a realistic budget
Open to honest pre-campaign feedback
Independent artist, label or manager
Building an audience for the long term
Serious about career development, not just one release
That is why the strongest campaigns here are built around fit, clarity and long-term momentum rather than volume or generic package delivery.
Now Listen PR is not right for artists looking for guaranteed or low-quality promotion.
Now Listen PR is not the right fit for every artist and we are comfortable saying that. We do not build campaigns around guaranteed streams, bot traffic, vanity metrics or unrealistic promises. If the music or assets are not ready, we will say so before anything begins.
Looking for guaranteed stream counts or playlist placements
Expecting instant results or overnight growth
Wanting fake followers, bot streams or inflated metrics
Looking for a cheap, add-to-cart promotion service
Music or creative assets not yet ready for promotion
Unwilling to engage with honest pre-campaign feedback
If we do not believe we can genuinely help, we would rather say that early than take on a campaign we do not think is ready. In some cases the right first step is a consultancy session to assess where the project stands before committing to a full campaign.

Our press contacts are not a database. They are direct relationships with journalists and editors built over seven years of consistent, quality pitching. When we pitch your music, it lands in an inbox where our name means something.
We have secured coverage for artists at:
Earmilk
Wonderland Magazine
Vents Magazine
Tagg Magazine
Line of Best Fit
Plastic Magazine
These are working relationships built through years of consistent, quality pitching and genuine music advocacy. You can read more about how we approach press partnership on its dedicated page.
Explore Press PartnershipIn-store playlist placement puts your music in front of real people in physical spaces, generates passive royalties and sends a credibility signal to press editors and Spotify playlist curators alike. It is a tangible proof point that your music has been vetted and selected by professional curators.
We have established relationships with in-store music curators at:
Starbucks
Primark
Zizzi's
Everards
McDonalds
Total Fitness
Very few UK music agencies have these relationships at all. It is one of the clearest structural differences between a music marketing agency with genuine industry reach and a submission-based service. Find out more about our in-store playlist sync service.

Yes. Now Listen PR is a registered UK company with a public Companies House record, a professional LinkedIn presence and more than 200 verified client reviews across Trustpilot and Google. The agency has been operating since 2019 and has supported artists signed to Warner Music Group, Sony Music and Universal Music, alongside a large number of independent artists and labels. All campaign results published on this site link to publicly verifiable sources including Spotify profiles, press features and radio credits.
Low-cost promotion services typically offer fixed activity at a set price with no honest assessment of whether the project is ready, no bespoke strategy and no meaningful reporting. Now Listen PR operates differently. Every campaign begins with an honest evaluation of the music, the creative assets, the goals and the budget. If we do not believe we can genuinely help, we say so before anything begins. Campaigns are built around the artist, not around a template, and senior team members are involved at every stage.
Now Listen PR works with independent artists, managers, independent labels and major-label-backed projects across a wide range of genres. The common thread is not genre or career stage - it is seriousness of intent. The artists we work with have strong music, a real marketing budget and a long-term view of their career. We are not the right fit for artists looking for a cheap, quick or guaranteed solution.
Yes. Now Listen PR works with both. The agency has run campaigns alongside Warner Music Group, Sony Music and Universal Music, and has also supported self-releasing independent artists from the very start of their careers. Independent artists are held to the same campaign standards as major-label projects. The intake process is the same regardless of whether the artist is signed or independent.
Yes. Now Listen PR offers fully integrated campaigns that can include DSP playlist promotion, digital press, Meta advertising, TikTok growth, in-store playlist sync and YouTube marketing. Not every campaign includes every service - the scope is determined by the goals, the budget and what we believe will give the project the strongest chance of meaningful growth. Artists do not need to source multiple agencies for different parts of the campaign.
No. Any agency that guarantees fixed stream counts or specific playlist placements before hearing the music is not being honest with you. Algorithmic results, editorial playlist placements and press coverage cannot be guaranteed by any legitimate agency. What Now Listen PR guarantees is a serious, strategic campaign built around your release, your audience and your long-term goals, with transparent reporting and clear communication throughout.
The strongest indicator is whether the music is genuinely ready for promotion, whether you have a realistic budget and whether you are open to honest feedback before the campaign begins. Now Listen PR does not take on every project. We assess the music, the creative assets, the goals, the timeline and the budget before agreeing to work together. If we do not think a campaign makes sense for the project at this stage, we will tell you that directly rather than take your money.
Use the application link on this page. We will review the project and come back to you with an honest assessment of whether a Now Listen PR campaign makes sense for your release. There is no obligation and no cost to apply. If the project is a strong fit we will put together a bespoke campaign recommendation based on your goals and budget.
