Marketing
Star Serpent Records offers label services to further help artists who don't want too much label interference, but still want help in various aspects of releasing music. Offering a range of services largely focusing on Project Management, this includes:
Project Management Services
PRS/PPL Management:
This includes registering both Artists and individual tracks onto their system. This is important for Artists to be signed up to as it allows you to get more money from different sources of income, especially if your music is played publicly. Both PPL and PRS are collection agencies, PPL collects money from the song’s neighbouring rights, whereas PRS is where all the publishing money goes, from every revenue stream.
Distribution
This includes digital distribution, whether that is using a distributer to get an Artist's music on platforms such as Spotify and Apple music, or setting up an Artist BandCamp account, we can cater this to what an artist needs, if any help is needed at all.
Metadata Management
Metadata is the information needed by collection societies to correctly identify who wrote the song, when that song is being played, and who to pay royalties to. Keeping track of this information and having it at hand is crucial in getting the most out of a registration with a collection society, which is what we can help manage.
Press Release Write Up
A Press Release is a 1 page document with all the relevant information about a new release! Including a short bio on the Artist, the story of the release, and any marketing information, we can prepare one which can be sent out to industry professionals to increase chances of a feature
EPK Write Up
An 'Electronic Press Kit' is an introduction to an Artist, including a bio, photos, past releases, milestones, and any relevant news or information. We can prepare one to send out to industry professionals as a short introduction to the Artist and their work
Marketing Services
Playlist Pitching
Playlist Pitching involves getting in touch with playlist curators, asking for an artist's track to be featured. We have a database of playlists curators, which we can then pick from based on it's relevance to the artist's music / genre. Individual pricing on this varies heavily depending on results and budget. Contact us for further details
Social Media Management / Planning
Social Media is important to any artist in the digital age. Social Media Management includes planning out a content strategy that suits the artist image, coming up with ideas and a schedule, potentially even making content and managing the account.

For separate service prices, contact us and let us know what you want. We can then give an estimate based on the nature of what you want for the related release.
*Packages are based on purchasing multiple services together for a defined package fee instead of separately which could be more expensive depending on the work needed for each thing. As we have less marketing services currently available, as well as the fact that the marketing service pricing is based more on result than hours worked on it, the £60 is merely a benchmark for this package, but it could be either less or more.
