      Oh come on, where are all the independent music magazines? Not that these are necessarily bad places to get music news, but I think you forgot about one crucial resource here: Stereogum, a longtime independent music news source, which is better (in my opinion) than every site listed here. It’s been my go-to for years.

      Also, the up-and-coming outlet Extra Chill, not so much a traditional news outlet but more of a journalistic magazine. Still a great resource for anybody interested in the music industry, and some people are calling it the “next Stereogum”.

      Independent media is the future of the music industry.

KID TRAVIS (R&B, POP)

With an already buzzing YouTube audience of over 400K+ subscribers, Kid Travis wanted his Instagram profile to start gaining some of that same traction.

While you can get some spill over audience from YouTube, Kid Travis knew that Instagram ad campaigns could boost his presence on IG even further!

He discovered that trying to run Instagram ads yourself vs. having us add our years of experience and expertise to them made a huge difference!

His main goal was to achieve new followers who are seriously interested in his journey as an artist.

Kid Travis already had amazing talent but needed to combine his music genius with some marketing expertise to get the best of both worlds.

We were able to bring out the heart of his music through paid ads by editing & optimizing his existing videos and properly researching and structuring his ad campaigns.

The end results: We were able to consistently and predictably gain followers averaging between $0.25-$0.35 per follower (including a bulk of the promotion being done in high cost English speaking countries such as United States, United Kingdom, Australia, & Canada) resulting in around 4,000 new, engaged followers/month on Instagram.
