FOR YOUR
MUSIC!
GET TO YOUR FANS DIRECTLY WITH A TAILORED, PROFESSIONAL SOCIAL MEDIA STRATEGY
Whether you’re just starting out on your music career or you’re already an established artist, our music marketing strategies for your social media channels will help you spread the word about your music, letting you reach and keep more fans from around the world.
THE CURRENT SITUATION
It’s a tough break getting noticed in the music industry.
There’s no real rulebook, no one telling you which way to go – it can feel a lot like you’re out there on your own.
Spending money on a radio promoter, a PR agency or a playlist promoter and crossing your fingers is the approach of many artists. You put your money down and hope that at least one platform decides to give you access to their audience, setting the scene for your next music release to explode on the global scene.
Yes, some artists make it this way – but so many more won’t even get enough attention to recoup their initial investment…
But what if recouping your investment is not what you’re after? What if growing your fanbase is what you’re here for? What if you want to skip the middlemen and get your music, directly to your potential fans, straight out there to those who want to hear it most?
Music gatekeepers decide if your music releases are good enough for their own personal tastes, before your music even reaches the audience that they claim they have.
We know you’re sick and tired of it all and we know your music deserves better..
THE PROBLEM
When you pay an external party for their contacts or their audience reach, there is very little you can build on.
Playlist promoters, radio promoters, and PR agencies don’t give you any real audience data or any direct links to the people who actually connected to your music. They’ll get your music out there, but they won’t help you build a relationship with your target audience.
When the song or video is finished, the connection with those who liked your music or engaged with you is lost and it becomes nearly impossible for you to develop a relationship with your new-found fans. That in turn makes it much harder for you to follow up with any new releases you’ve got planned.
DO YOU RECOGNISE YOURSELF?
You work hard at making music, with lots of money and time spent in studios alongside fellow musicians. You finally create something you are very excited to share with the world. To promote it, you put the music out on all the platforms you want to be visible on.
You pay a radio promoter, a PR agency, a playlist promoter or other gatekeepers for exposure and reach, cross your fingers, and hope that they get you that golden exposure your music deserves.
They take your money but all you see is a slight numbers increase and a few things to brag to friends and fans about on your social media, but overall,you’re left with a disappointing amount of exposure and engagement to actually build your fanbase. Then the cycle starts again.
THIS IS WHAT YOU MIGHT BE MISSING OUT ON
| ❶ | Connecting directly with fans on channels that you control and own. |
| ❷ | Knowing exactly what your money gets spent on and getting solid, measurable and insightful. results. |
| ❸ | Receiving valuable data analysis and using this to build your fanbase based on facts! |
HOW IT WORKS
Social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube all have an enormous number of daily users who might be interested in your music. These platforms offer a comprehensive set of tools to directly reach your potential audience, giving you everything you need to get your music out into the world, straight to the most interested people.
They also let you decide, where and how you want to reach people so that you can choose the audience that is most suitable for your music and location. On top of that, you gain data for every $ spent on reaching fans.
That dataset is a tremendously valuable asset, letting you retarget interested fans and listeners for any upcoming releases or events you might have in the pipeline.
REACH YOUR FANS DIRECTLY AND ON YOUR OWN TERMS
WHAT WE DO
We offer a tailor-made social media music approach to help you reach potential new fans directly on your Facebook, YouTube or Instagram channels, using our Rockstone music marketing strategy which, in turn, is based on data and our experience in social media promotion. Our skills come from a combination of years of music content production, our in-depth knowledge of the music industry across various genres and our understanding of the strong value of storytelling on social media channels.
HOW WE DO THIS
We’ll figure out who your most engaged audience is and on which platforms they engage with you most. This process will see us work with you to pinpoint which platform will get you the best results.
We’ll analyse the information from the engagements to find out what makes your audience tick. This is a deeper and more specialized approach than just counting likes - it’s about using data to measure just how interested in your music they really are.
If you order a coach for your campaign, we’ll pair you up with one of our professional coaches , who’ll work with you on a one-to-one basis to help develop the next steps in your social media strategy. Together, we’ll plan content production, review the results and help grow your new-found connection with your fans.
We’ll coach you on how to build a relationship with that audience in a style that works best for your brand, and that doesn’t alienate potential fans with annoying or intrusive promotion practices.
We’ll work with you to take that relationship to the next level by helping you encourage your fans to financially support you, your music, your tour and most importantly, your career.

Working with Rockstone was a huge success! It showed that even with a small budget it’s possible to generate a lot of reach. They were super supportive and walked me through each week updating me on the latest happenings. Keep up the fantastic work! 5 Stars ⭐
Guinevere
Rockstone have done a great job in marketing and promoting our music video of "Ready For The Storm" on social media! They have been amazing with contact before, during and after. Posting, explaining how they work, involving us every step of the way and really getting to know our band and artistic view. We're looking forward to working again!
Riendy Mr RayBass
I got a complete explanation on how the campaign is going to work for Mr. Ray Bass and I got valuable tips on how to communicate with my followers. Since then I've seen my following grow and become more engaged when I place my posts. Thank you so much Rockstone!
Myrthe van de Weetering
Rockstone explained very clearly how I can build a strong campaign with a tenfold impact from the loose pieces that are often my posts. They also think carefully about the feasibility for the individual artist in terms of budget and about how much time someone realistically has to put in to see results.

Working with Mark has been an absolute pleasure from start to finish. I was initially concerned that working with a campaign manager overseas might be problematic, but Mark exceeded my expectations at every turn. Scheduling and communication is quick and easy. He's always prepared and provides insightful expertise that literally puts money in my pocket. His service has been worth every penny.
