Quite Great see this as a return to the good old days of label style artist development. Simply decide the budget for each release, consider your future budget over the next six to twelve months to allow you to release and Quite Great will structure a campaign around it. Your campaign will focus on agreed media which may include everything from Radio 1 to Radio 2, 1XTRA, Kiss, magazines as varied as Big Cheese, Clash, Kerrang, Echoes,  plus Hypemachine blogs and relevant frontline sites and if part of the agreement MTV to Sub TV….the list goes!

The Quite Great service will feedback with a tailored report for you to see how the campaign is developing. The 10 week release period, which is the ideal period to fit in a release pattern covering single and EP or album, allows for a ‘basket’ of media to be delivered, if your budget is small then the timeline is condensed, it’s that simple. But be aware, successful campaigns take time to build – a single release will only create the foundations for you to build on with subsequent releases. The Quite Great service is ideal for UK bands & artists as well as international bands looking to have a base in the UK.
