The Targeted Pitch

Create a tailored pitch and schedule for a single, high-value opportunity.

This challenge focuses on the strategic application of your pitch. You will identify one specific target and craft a bespoke pitch and timeline to maximize your chances of success.

The plan, day by day

  1. Day 1Choose one song and one specific, realistic target opportunity. This could be a user-curated Spotify playlist with high engagement, a niche music blog, or a local radio show.
  2. Day 2Research the target. Analyze their recent posts or tracks. Define their curatorial voice. How does your song's Emotional Resonance align with what they feature?
  3. Day 3Write a 100-word pitch tailored to this specific target. Reference their platform, mention a recent piece of content you admire, and explain precisely why your song is a perfect fit for their audience.
  4. Day 4Use an AI writing assistant to generate three distinct email subject lines for your pitch. Ask a trusted peer which one they would be most likely to open and why.
  5. Day 5Map out a simple 3-step action plan in your calendar: 1. Send initial pitch. 2. Schedule a polite, concise follow-up in 7-10 days. 3. Log the result and any feedback received.
