Promotion tools built for drill's fast release cycles

Hit Music Journalists Directly

Drill coverage moves fast. Send promos to the writers at GRM Daily, Complex, Pitchfork, and more, then see who opens and listens.

Playlist Pitching Made Simple

Curators want early access. Give them stream-only previews before release day and track who adds your tracks to their playlists.

Location-Based Targeting

Drill scenes are regional. Tag contacts by city (London, Chicago, New York, Lagos) and send promos to the people who cover your scene.

Branded Promo Emails

Add your label logo, artwork, and custom colours to every email. Keep your visual identity consistent across every campaign.

Drill music promotion questions

Can I target drill-specific journalists and bloggers?

Yes. Import and tag your contacts by beat or genre focus. Filter for drill press when building campaigns.

How do I stop tracks leaking before release?

Set campaigns to stream-only mode. Recipients hear the track through an embedded player but can't download the file.

Does Promoly work for UK drill and US drill?

Promoly works globally. Tag your contacts by region and scene so you can run separate campaigns for different markets.

Can I send video links alongside audio?

Yes. Add links to music videos, visualisers, or press kits in your promo message alongside the audio tracks.

How quickly can I set up my first campaign?

Most users send their first promo within 10 minutes of signing up. Upload, select contacts, and hit send.
