As passive music consumption dominates the internet, SATRN Music Marketing helps developing and established artists reach their most active fans through the engagement of indie music retail, brand partnerships, and lifestyle media connections.

 

Because passionate music fans have never been content with the status quo, we believe that marketing and promotion at music retailers will remain a vital service. Music enthusiasts and true believers are driven to hear, touch and collect music and – have closer connections with artists. SATRN Music Marketing will drive marketing initiatives to meet that passion and further connect fans with artists and their music.

 

Coordination with touring, promotion, and social strategy helps us inform our direct connection with music buyers and marketing partners to maximize retail visibility. The SATRN Music Marketing ‘Spotlight Program’ highlights new release and tour priorities as part of our retail engagement. SATRN Music Marketing works with top U.S. independent music retailers such as Amoeba Music, Newbury Comics, Bull Moose, Rough Trade, Waterloo, Electric Fetus, Grimey’s, Park Ave, Zia Records, Fingerprints, Easy Street Records, Music Millennium, Twist & Shout, Criminal Records, Dimple Records, Reckless, and many, many more.
