How playlist pitching works

The process

NotNoise playlist pitching is a human-powered service. No bots, no automated submissions, no pay-for-placement schemes.

Step 1: We listen

Our A&R team listens to your track end-to-end. They map the vibe, tempo, production style, and reference points. This isn't a checkbox exercise. They need to understand your music to pitch it effectively.

Step 2: We hand-pick curators

From a vetted network of 2,000+ curators, we select the ones most likely to genuinely enjoy your track. Curators are selected based on genre match, playlist mood, and listener demographics.

Step 3: We pitch personally

Your track is pitched to each curator individually with a personalized message. This isn't mass email. Each pitch explains why this specific track fits this specific playlist.

Step 4: We report back

You receive a transparent report with: which curators were pitched, who placed your track, who declined, their feedback, and actionable next steps for your release strategy.

Placements are not guaranteed. This is organic outreach with honest feedback. Any service that guarantees playlist placements is likely using bots or fake playlists.

Timeline

Typically 7-14 days from campaign start to final report. Results come in as curators respond, so you may see placements before the campaign officially ends.
