A press kit that greets the writer by name
A press kit a writer can work from: the story, the photos, the credits and the files. It greets the outlet you sent it to by name, with a line about why this record is for them.
An EPK is the page a blog, a radio host or a curator opens when they consider your song. Get Heard builds it from the release itself: the story, the photos, the credits, the lyrics and the files, with a player at the top. When it is sent with a pitch, the page greets that outlet by name and says why this record is for them.
Written once, read by everyone
The bio, the story angles, the credits and the photos come from the release you already set up. Change a date or a photo there and the press kit is republished. No document to email around, no version that is out of date.
Personal for each outlet
A pitch carries a link that is the press kit with that outlet's name on it and a line about why the song fits what they cover. The writer sees a page made for them, and you see whether they opened it.
The files, without the hunt
The master audio, the cover art in every size and the press photos are one click each, in the press kit rather than in a shared folder. The page is kept out of search engines, so it stays for the people you sent it to.
Compared with the competition
Sonicbids sells the press kit as a membership, and most artists end up mailing a PDF anyway. Neither knows who opened it, and both say the same thing to a radio host and to a metal blog.
| Sonicbids | A PDF in a Drive folder | Get Heard | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Keeping it current | A profile you go back and edit, on their site. | press-kit-FINAL-v7.pdf, while v6 sits in a writer's inbox. | Republished from the release itself. One edit, and every link to it is current. |
| For the writer | The same profile for everyone, on Sonicbids' address. | The same attachment for everyone. | Greets the outlet by name, with a line on why this record is for them, at your own address. |
| Knowing it was read | A membership, then a fee per submission, and no word on who read it. | Never. | Opens per outlet, beside the pitch's opens and replies. |
Works with Outlet outreach
It finds the blogs, playlists and creators who cover music like yours, writes each pitch in your voice, and sends it from your own email.
One hub, one subscription, and your week back
Three steps, once per release. After that it runs on its own.
Set up the release
Drop in the song and the cover. The pages, the clips and the kits are built from them.
Connect your accounts
Your socials, your mailbox and your domain, once. They stay connected for every release after this one.
Start the campaign
Pick the outlets and arm the runway. It renders, posts, pitches and mails on the days it should.
Common questions
Can journalists download the audio?
Yes, the master and the artwork are downloadable from the press kit. That is why the page is kept out of search engines: it is sent to people, not found by them.
Which languages does it come in?
The press kit is rendered in the outlet's language where the release has one, and the fan-facing words switch with the reader's browser. Your own text stays as you wrote it.
