Tips for Choosing the Right Promoter
- Check real case results: Look for names of songs or artists an agency has successfully promoted.
- Avoid “guaranteed blow up” claims: No promo company can promise overnight fame — organic reach and engagement still matter.
- Ask for campaign metrics: Legit services should show how they track streams, placements, audience growth, and conversions.
- Combine digital + grassroots support: A mix of online campaigns and street promotion often yields the best results in Nigeria’s diverse market.
Final Thoughts
The right music promotion company can help you turn a good song into a breakthrough moment — but success still requires great music, consistency, and strategic planning. Always vet companies carefully and focus on long-term brand growth, not short-term vanity numbers.
