SoundCloud Launches Promote on SoundCloud, the Newest Tool for Creators to Grow Their Audiences

November 12, 2019, New York, NY -- Today, SoundCloud is introducing Promote on SoundCloud, a new self-service promotional tool for SoundCloud Premier creators to boost their original tracks to the top of listeners’ feeds and mobile homepages.  Promote is the latest addition to  SoundCloud’s Premier program, which now offers independent creators full-stack capabilities to share and promote tracks directly to fans on SoundCloud in real-time, distribute releases to their audience across all major music services worldwide, and get paid for plays both on SoundCloud and on other services, all from their SoundCloud accounts.

With Promote on SoundCloud, creators can set their own budget and choose from a variety of advanced targeting options to help drive track plays, reach more diverse listener groups and build real-time, interactive connections with their fans. The power of promotion is in the hands of creators whenever they want to elevate new tracks, fuel excitement for upcoming album releases, or build local market buzz in advance of tour dates.

 

“Promote on SoundCloud is an important addition to SoundCloud Premier, which offers creators wide distribution, more earning potential, and now, a way to proactively promote their music on SoundCloud,” said Gilles BianRosa, Chief Product Officer, SoundCloud. “By promoting on SoundCloud, creators get the added benefit of combining Promote on SoundCloud reports with SoundCloud stats to see comprehensive engagement data, a unique capability for creators who choose SoundCloud.”
