Growth hacking & analytics

The growth stack: analytics that show where an audience actually is, and growth services that act on it. The difference between promoting a release and building an audience.

artist.tools — Release teams actively researching Spotify playlists and monitoring campaign quality.
Chartmetric — Benchmarking your growth data before label and agent pitches. Growing artists, managers, labels, and marketing teams running regular campaigns who need cross-platform context, competitor benchmarks, playlist intelligence, and market data beyond native artist dashboards.
Luminate — Established teams that need authoritative market data for strategy, reporting or negotiations.
PlaylistSupply — DIY curator outreach done with actual research. Artists and managers willing to run personalized DIY outreach campaigns, research comparable artists, vet playlists carefully, and build reusable curator relationships.
Songstats — Artists and managers who want immediate, centralized alerts when a release gains traction.
Soundcharts — Professional cross-platform monitoring for teams and pitch decks. Artists with active releases, playlist placements, radio campaigns, or international traction who need affordable monitoring across multiple channels. The 10-artist plan is particularly useful for managers and small labels.
un:hurd music — Outsourcing ads and pitching when you lack marketing time. Early-to-mid-stage independent artists who want structured marketing guidance, simplified campaign tools, and occasional playlist pitching in one affordable membership.
Venice Music — Solo artists buying team-like infrastructure on a subscription. Serious independent artists who release regularly and will actively use the workshops, community, strategic guidance, support, and marketing tools—not merely its distribution.
Viberate — Cheap full-suite analytics on a flat subscription. Artists with measurable traction, managers with small rosters and campaign teams that need competitor benchmarks, playlist or radio monitoring, and geographic insights for marketing and touring.
