International Jazz PR
At Jazzfuel, we’ve worked as international jazz publicists on over 300 albums from a mix of ground-breaking record labels and amazing independent artists.
Over the last 7 years, our jazz PR campaigns have helped pull in thousands of pieces of coverge from the best magazines, websites, blogs and radio stations around the world.
Read on to find out who we’ve worked with, what we do and how to apply…
In an ideal world, people would just discover great music organically. But in reality, you need to put it in front of the right editors, writers, producers and presenters multiple times.
You need to know who they are, how to approach them and when to keep chasing.
As jazz publicists we’ve had albums featured in most jazz magazines and websites around the world, including Downbeat, Jazzwise, Jazz Magazine, Jazzthing, Jazziz, Jazz Journal and many more…
Get a jazz publicist to shout about your new release for you!
If you’ve released music before, you might be familiar with the slight disappointment that your carefully crafted album is not creating as much of an impact on your career as you’d hoped.
Promoters donât seem to be aware of it, fans whoâve shown plenty of interest in the past have not bought or downloaded it… and it’s not being mentioned by any blogs or jazz magazines.
All that time & money making the best possible album and not enough ‘wins’ with the release itself.
Of course, in an ideal world, people would just discover great music organically.
But if you want press coverage for an upcoming release, you need to ASK the right people for it. And, more often than not, you need to follow up again & again.
If you havenât got a jazz publicist doing this for you, and you don’t have the time to do it consistently yourself, the chances getting the press quotes and attention you need and deserve are low.
This done-for-you jazz PR campaign takes care of things by sending effective, personalised pitching emails to a custom-built list of press targets, multiple times.
Translate great music into industry attention.
If you donât have the time to do this yourself, our done-for-you press campaign takes care of things by sending effective, personalised pitching emails to a custom-built list of press targets around the world.
Here’s what we’ll do…
1ď¸âŁ We’ll help you prepare your promo materials for presenting to press contacts.
2ď¸âŁ We’ll make a target list of 50 jazz media contacts based on those who’ve reviewed similar music.
3ď¸âŁ We’ll prepare a press pitching email which introduces your project concisely and effectively.
4ď¸âŁ We’ll send an email to each press target to introduce your project.
5ď¸âŁ For any contacts that don’t reply, we’ll follow up in the following 6-8 weeks.
6ď¸âŁ We’ll send a final report of the campaign, quotes & feedback once all coverage is in.

Testimonials
“Working with Jazzfuel was very helpful, not only for the reviews that my recording received, but for the helpful advice about a variety of related and important facets of promoting my music” – Greg Burk (USA/IT)
“I was totally happy with the professionalism and creativity of my last two campaigns for âRoom of Silenceâ and âMythosâ. Looking forward to working together again for my next release! – Chris Gall (DE)
“I really enjoyed working with Matt, Liam and Uros on my album release. They where really easy to work with and communication was great. For me it was worthwhile and helped to reduce my personal workload for a self release. Would recommend highly.” – Matt Carmichael (UK)
“They spread the word about the project widely, and their three month on-ramp heading toward release day was organized and well-oiled. Looking forward to working together with them again next year.” – Tim Armacost (USA)
“The Jazzfuel PR team were supportive and communicative throughout my entire campaign achieving results I never would’ve imagined possible for my debut release.â – Myra Brownbridge (UK)
