Start with the problem, not the service
You might know something needs to change without knowing what to buy.
That is a perfectly good reason to enquire.
PR, Meta ads, content, email, fan growth and direct-to-fan activity can all be useful. They only make sense when they are solving the right problem.

Industry perspective
You don’t have to take my word for it.
“I can’t think of anyone better to advise emerging rock acts on strategy, growing an audience and formulating realistic and obtainable goals with music business, PR and marketing.”
Bruce Dickinson WaterBear — The College of Music“I have had the pleasure of working alongside Rob for many years, he is one of the good guys and is constantly evolving through this ever changing industry, staying ahead of the game.”

Quick answers
Questions bands and artists ask before getting in touch.
Do I need to know which Stampede Press service I need?
No. Tell me what you are trying to achieve and what is getting in the way. I’ll look at the situation first and identify which Stampede service appears most relevant, if any.
Does Stampede Press work with independent and unsigned bands?
Yes. Stampede Press regularly works with independent bands and artists, particularly across rock and metal, on releases, promotion, audience growth and music-marketing decisions.
Do you work with artists outside the UK?
Yes. Stampede Press is UK based and works with suitable international artists where the music, campaign and target market are a sensible fit.
How far ahead of an EP or album release should I contact you?
Earlier is generally better. Several months gives more room for release planning, assets, audience activity and media lead times. If the release is closer, you can still enquire and I’ll tell you what appears realistic.
Can Stampede Press help promote an EP or album?
Yes. Stampede works across EP and album promotion including music PR, release strategy, audience growth and supporting marketing activity. The right approach depends on the release and what you are trying to achieve.
Are you automatically going to recommend music PR?
No. PR can be the right move, but sometimes release planning, fan growth, direct-to-fan activity, Meta advertising, email marketing or another priority should come first.
What happens after I send an enquiry?
I’ll review the enquiry personally by email, look at what you are trying to achieve and ask for any additional information I need before suggesting the most relevant next step.
Can you guarantee press coverage, streams, followers or sales?
No. Editorial coverage is controlled by journalists and publications, while audience and sales results depend on many factors. Stampede focuses on strategy, positioning, targeting and execution rather than promising outcomes that cannot responsibly be guaranteed.
