Campaign paid for in May - radio silence from them. Should be done for fraud
Campaign paid for on May 17 as it was a summer track and I wanted to get the promotion booked in time for the summer season. After 6 weeks of nothing and no communication or replies, I was finally told that they were working on it and it was taking a bit longer than usual. By July, the track was on ONE playlist (never went further), and still I would have to email and msg multiple times before I was told that they could not promote the track further until they had it on more playlists. I was finally told that the campaign was not panning out as normal and as a goodwill gesture they would give me another track promotion for free (Matt emailed me). I sent the second track on August 8 and have never heard from them again, despite sending emails and messages on IG. Just ignored, point blank. The track has now dropped off the one playlist. There were some streams from the playlist but the whole point of the campaign is that it is a hybrid campaign with playlists and advertising so it is 'different' from playlist campaigns, which we all know as Indies are not the wisest choice as they come with risks. I finally requested a refund by email, IG msg and by filling in the form on their website and have not heard a single peep from anyone. Nothing at all. Just ignored. I am absolutely flabbergasted to see that the website and the IG account are still active. If they had communicated with me properly from the start and stated that there were delays or issues, or had told me the song was not good enough, or not appealing to curators, I would understand. If they had admitted it was a failure and updated me and then refunded me, then I would understand, but to play with indie artist's in this way when they are fully aware that our budgets are small and our hopes are high when we put our faith and limited resources into something like this, just to be cheated, fooled and ignored is DISGUSTING. I waited a very long time to come here and write a review as I kept hoping that someone would do the right thing and get in touch with me to update me, explain to me or refund me. This company and the website should be reported for fraud and pulled down immediately. I have taken screenshots of the communication on IG as proof and have all the emails, in case they come on here and claim it is a 'competitor writing false reviews' like I have seen them do in response to other reviews. I hope other indie artists do not make the same mistake.
