Not quite as promised

I have tried Groover and Soundcampaign without much succes, but the I saw this site promising a full refund if the goal was now met and I thought that was a good deal.I did get the number of streams I paid for, so that was good. I just didn't feel that they lived up to the long winded explanations on the site of "building an audience instead of just empty streams", since the playlists I was added to was hardly relevant. The biggest streams came from a spanish list that translates to something like "most beautiful hits of the 70's, 80's and 90's". Not really what yoy what for you newly released music. Another was devoted to Bee Gees which I don't think I sound like.I got my streams, but a bit under false pretences.

I wish I could've given their Spotify Growth Formula program a better review. It's a comprehensive program. Ryan is quite helpful. You will learn how to effectively gain attention through FB Ads and build Spotify followers. I completed the full program, checked off all the boxes, applied everything correctly to a tee. In fact I was widely acknowledged as the #1 contributor. They have a helpful FB group where you can offer contributions of your knowledge to other students as well as ask Ryan direct questions. Everything was working. Public feedback on the original songs were great. Listeners were growing for several months. However, there is a caveat: it only works as long as you continue to pay for FB daily ads. Indefinitely. You will also need to regularly perform live shows of your song releases to coincide with the timing of new releases. Does not matter how good your product is. As soon as you stop paying for FB ads, all your listeners will evaporate returning to where you started from. I plan to return to SGF only whenever I have a strong new release and also plan to follow up with a string of live shows. The good thing is you pay only one-time and will have access to the program for life. Unless you are planning to live perform frequently AND are willinging to pay a minimum of $12- $15 per day ($360 - $450 per month) for ads indefinitely, save your money. Go for this program if money isn't an object for your music marketing goals and you have "deep pockets" (and expect to constantly be "feeding the beast") and where you carefully can plan live performance dates to coincide in timing with at least some of your song releases. Otherwise anticipate the reality that your Spotify listener gains will only be temporary.

Indie Music was great to work with

Indie Music was great to work with! We are just getting started as an independent record label in a niche genre (Contemporary Christian Worship Music) and Ryan and the staff helped us a lot. Very responsive and got us out of the starting gate.

Good investment/ very happy with results

Indie Music Academy was actually recommended to me by a recording engineer in Atlanta who has worked with a lot of different artists and promotion companies. IMA has been really great insofar as they pushed my latest release and helped it get enough attention that my back catalog, which had never really gotten off of the ground, suddenly started getting a lot interest/ streams/ downloads. I have been very happy with the service they provide.

Needs a lot of work

Our band decided to give Indie Music Academy a shot, investing in multiple playlist promotion orders with high hopes. We waited patiently, but as nearly a month passed with no results, we had no choice but to cancel our orders. The experience was frustrating—there were no proactive updates, the ordering process was disorganized, and customer service was virtually nonexistent.

A wealth of information

I’ve learned a ton from IMA, and the entire staff is professional and kind! Their explanations of my data during my recent Meta ads campaign really went above and beyond. Sometimes their email responses take a bit of time, but when they do come, they are thorough. Thanks IMA, I will be back!

My campaign is going great!

I really enjoyed working with this company! Aimee and Alexx helped me and were both great! I loved being able to log into the tracker so I could see where my campaign was and the placements I was able to get. The campaign is going great so far! I am excited to send in more music soon!

The Indie Rock Academy has become an integral part of our team! They help us not only with effective music promotion on Spotify, which is crucial for reaching listeners, but also assist with all other questions. They are always available to answer any question, and we learn a lot from them, gladly and respectfully absorbing the experience and knowledge they share. Plus, they always provide super cool reports on the work done!
