What's the difference vs. the Spotify-for-Artists pitch?

S4A pitch goes into the public form that hundreds of releases per day are stuck in. Our editorial pitch additionally ships through the direct DSP editorial pitch channels. Both run in parallel.

At least 4 weeks before release. Tier-1 pitches (New Music Friday and friends) ideally need 6-8 weeks lead time. We warn you if your date is too tight.

What happens after release?

After 14 days you receive a reporting doc: the actual placements the track received on editorial playlists, plus Spotify-for-Artists performance data for the first few days.

Can I combine the add-on with standard distribution?

Yes — and that's the recommended path. Standard distribution stays at up to 100% payout. Playlist pitching is a separate, optional booking. We can't pitch without a standard OGR release.

ADD-ON

Editorial playlist pitching. Direct to the curators.

We build a curated pitch deck for every release — mood, reference tracks, market story, pitch hooks — and submit it through the editorial pitch channels at Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, Tidal and Amazon Music. Spotify-for-Artists pitch runs in parallel.

WHAT YOU GET

What our pitch deck contains.

Editorial-grade pitch deck

1-pager per track: hook, mood mapping, three reference tracks from existing editorial playlists, market story and release strategy.

Direct editorial delivery

Manual delivery through the DSPs' editorial pitch channels — not the anonymous public submission form that hundreds of releases per day are stuck in.

Spotify-for-Artists pitch

We generate the S4A pitch in parallel (pre-save-ready, genre/mood tags optimized) and submit it 4 weeks before release.

Placement reporting

Within 14 days after release you get a reporting doc: actual editorial placements the track received, plus Spotify-for-Artists data for the first days of performance.

What editorial pitching can realistically deliver.

Editorial slots are not guaranteed — no serious distributor can promise that. But we build pitches that are taken seriously in the curation community. Realistic hitrate: around 5% of pitched releases land at least one editorial slot, tier-1 placements (New Music Friday, Today's Top Hits, mint, fresh finds) considerably less. Prerequisites: solid production quality, clear story, lead time of at least 4 weeks.

No guarantee on editorial listing — placements are decided exclusively by DSP editorial teams.

FAQ

What artists ask most often.

No — nobody can. Editorial decisions are made exclusively by the DSP curator teams. We guarantee professional pitch quality and direct delivery to the right desks. Realistic hitrate: around 5% of our pitched releases land at least one slot, tier-1 (New Music Friday & co.) considerably less.
