How does it all work?

Radio Promotion
Unlike college radio tracking services which lure you with the exaggerated promise of airplay on hundreds of stations that can't generate any sales for your CD, Tim Sweeney & Associates only focuses on "Priority" college and commercial radio stations that impact the cities where they broadcast.

At the beginning of your campaign, we will specifically target the impacting radio stations in your home city, neighboring marketing, home state and region, where you can tour on a monthly basis to not only support it but benefit from it.

Publicity
Several years ago major labels instructed various publications and writers that they would define the artists on their roster in the following way.

Non-Priority artists could be identified by having a press kit of their promotional materials. Priority artists would be identified through Artist Profiles.

Tim Sweeney & Associates will create for you, a personalized artist profile to replace your press kit and specifically target the daily newspapers, alternative newsweeklies and music publications in your target markets, instead of the national publications who will ignore you at this stage of your career.

Distribution Options
As you know, distributors as well as record stores are closing faster than ever before. In your campaign, we will help you get your product placed into the stores both online and off-line that are most impacted by your radio airplay, press coverage and touring.

Internet Marketing
The internet has not lived up to anyone's expectations as a means of selling thousands of CDs. Endless amounts of independent artists like yourself have been discouraged by MP3 sites, internet radio stations and online record stores, all promising exposure to millions of people. Tim Sweeney & Associates only focuses on the selective sites that constant record buying consumers regularly visit and not the thousands who offer false hopes and dreams.
