Build Your Next Release Pitch Kit

Assemble a focused EPK designed for a successful playlist pitching campaign.

This 5-day challenge guides you in creating a lean, powerful, and customized mini-EPK for your next single, ensuring you have the right assets to pitch effectively.

The plan, day by day

  1. Day 1Identify your next single and its official release date. Write down the primary target audience in one sentence (e.g., 'Listeners of cinematic indie-folk playlists').
  2. Day 2Write a 150-word pitch that focuses exclusively on the story, sound, and mood of the new single. Do not mention your career history.
  3. Day 3Test for emotional resonance. Record a 30-second, unedited vertical video on your phone. Speak directly to the camera and explain the one feeling you hope listeners experience when they hear this song. This is a powerful, personal asset.
  4. Day 4Leverage AI. Using your pitch from Day 2, prompt an AI writing tool: 'Shorten this into a 50-word version for an email subject line and preview text. Make it compelling and focused on mood.' Select the best option.
  5. Day 5Create a new, private folder in Dropbox or Google Drive. Add the WAV, MP3, cover art, the 150-word pitch, and the vertical video. Name the folder '[Artist Name] - [Song Title] EPK.' This is your pitch kit.
