About Virtual Publicist
Every artist deserves a publicist. Most can't afford one. So we built one.
A traditional publicist costs $1,500 to $5,000 a month. That's out of reach for almost every independent artist, and it's why so much great music never gets heard. The alternative has been submission sites where you pay per click, pitch strangers one form at a time and hope.
Virtual Publicist sits in between. It's the affordable way to promote your music, built by people who have done this for big artists and small ones for more than a decade.
Who we are
Our team has been promoting artists since 2012. Over that time our team has run thousands of campaigns across press, playlists, radio, creators and paid media, for independent artists, labels and global names. Our client campaigns have been featured in outlets like Billboard, Rolling Stone, Forbes, Pitchfork and PAPER.
We took what we learned running those campaigns, who to contact, what to say, when to follow up, and turned it into two things any artist can use.
1. The Virtual Publicist Hub
Our platform at virtualpublicist.com is a map of the music industry: 250,000+ journalists, playlist curators, radio programmers, sync supervisors and label contacts in 100+ countries. You connect your music, we show you who fits your sound, help you write each pitch and track every reply. You stay in control of your own outreach.
2. The Virtual Publicist Shop
This shop is for when you'd rather we do it for you. Pick a service, tell us about your song, and our team handles the pitching: playlists, blogs, radio, press releases, sync and grant applications. Fixed prices, everything listed upfront, and a full report at the end.
- Spend $100+ and you get a 1:1 onboarding call. We build your release plan with you and reach out on your behalf to grants, playlists, blogs and radio.
- Spend $250+ and you get a dedicated agent who knows your music, priority support and a monthly check-in on what to do next.
What we believe
- Real people only. We never sell streams, followers or plays. Fake streams can get your music taken down. We pitch real people who decide on merit.
- Honest promises. We guarantee the work, never the outcome. Every pitch we list gets sent, or you get your money back.
- Grants are promotion too. Funding is the most overlooked tool in an independent career. We help artists find it and apply for it.
- Your career keeps going after the campaign. Every customer gets a Virtual Publicist Hub profile, so the relationships you start don't end when the report arrives.
