PR Strategy Consultation
🚨 BANDS 🚨 Stop being disappointed with PR campaigns that don't work!
Rob Town (Master of Art) at Stampede Press has a proven track record of delivering successful PR campaigns for rock and metal bands.
However, the reality is that there are thousands of bands and music artists all trying to achieve the same goals with limited opportunities. Without the best possible strategy, it can sometimes all too easily feel like a fruitless venture being a modern day musician and achieving exposure for your music to the right audiences.
The temptation to hire an expert and spend hundreds, sometimes thousands of pounds with PR and marketing agencies or even seemingly “too good to be true” deals might seem like the answer. However, it’s likely it’s not the right thing for you, nor do you have an endless stream of money to fund promotion campaigns that don’t essentially guarantee success.
With an abundance of information and tools on the internet, going DIY is the most realistic option. However, it can be an overwhelming experience and often feel impossible to manage whilst maintaining your passion for music and sustaining a happy lifestyle. So, what’s the answer?
“Rob is one of the good guys in the music industry, which (sadly) is a rarity in our experience. So we were honoured to work with him and put our trust in him. We’d work with him again in a heart beat!”

"As the singer of Panic Cell, I have experienced first hand Rob's (or Bobby, as I know him) passion and commitment to finding the best ways to move a band forward. He expertly navigated us through many of the pitfalls that come with promoting an act, and in the years following where I have worked with everyone from Florence and the Machine to the Red Hot Chili Peppers to Machine Head, I have not found anyone with a better grasp on the fundamentals of band related press, PR and marketing!"

"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. Rob's advice and
knowledge have helped me no end and I couldn’t recommend him enough."
“Rob is a passionate guy, whose enthusiasm for the bands and music he represents shines through in his work.”
“Rob has a natural instinct for this work and is, above everything, a brilliant reader of people. Stampede represents the tip of the spear when it comes to modern day PR and Social Media.”
“We love working with Stampede. Rob has been invaluable to us in the last couple of years, he’s without doubt one of ‘the good guys.’ He’s great at what he does and he cares a lot about the acts he works with.”
"In an industry of untrustworthy people, Rob is a breath of fresh air, and I’m happy to recommend him to any musicians that are looking to climb the ladder and work with a reputable PR agency on their press. The fact that Rob was a successful musician before setting up Stampede Press means he really understands how the industry works. He knows what can be achieved and will always put his heart and soul (and a lot of effort) into any campaign he takes on. He’s open and honest, and most of all, he’s human and he cares about the results he gets for you."

"It's been a pleasure working with Rob at Stampede Press. His passion for music and genuine care for the bands he represents goes such a long way. He gave us creative ideas that have pushed our social media presence and we are stoked by the results. His knowledge, guidance and communication are second to none."
“Rob is one of the good guys in the music industry, which (sadly) is a rarity in our experience. So we were honoured to work with him and put our trust in him. We’d work with him again in a heart beat!”
“Rob is passionate about our scene and advocating for new bands, and always operates with professionalism and drive.”
“The honesty, integrity and enthusiasm behind the service that we have received is second to none and it is clear that Rob is pulling on the kind of experience that is only accrued through many years working within the music industry.”
“In a world of spin, and over-promising and a fair few false dawns, Rob is the tonic that every young band can benefit from. He’s been through it as a musician himself, he’s seen the trap doors, the big pitches and the empty promises. He has bottled his passion for music, mixed it with the realism of how the scene works and backed up his music industry advice with a University qualification. He won't always tell a band what it wants to hear, and he’ll challenge a few to really examine what good really looks like. But we need more of this shaping the scene today. Success is not about quick wins or chasing the rainbow of fame - it's about original music, sustained momentum and building trusted relationships that last the distance. If you want to win the marathon not the sprint, Rob is your man."
"I work with many artists across the world of music and in all walks of life providing my services and I am often asked who, as a publicist, I can recommend for my clients. Often and without reservation my first recommendation is always Rob Town at Stampede Press. Why? Well it's simple really, it's a matter of trust, reliability and his ability to provide realistic expectations with the people he works with. Clients are never chosen on volume and always on suitability and professionalism, I trust Rob to do the right thing completely and cannot recommend his services more highly."
