how this list is made.
every fact was read from the firm's own website, not from a database or another list. each firm's page links the exact page each fact came from, so you can check it in one click.
the table is ordered by things a reader can verify: the year the firm says it was founded, the number of names on its roster page, or the alphabet. there are no scores and no stars, because nobody here has tested these firms and the publisher is one of their competitors.
every source page is opened again each week. a page that has moved or gone is re-read before the date at the top of this page moves.

questions.
how do I choose a music PR firm?
check four things on the firm's own site before you write to it. does it show its roster, and do the names look like you. does it say what a campaign includes. does it print a price or a minimum term. and what, exactly, does it promise. the table on this page answers the first and the third for every firm on it.
which is the best music PR firm?
this page does not pick one, and it is published by a firm that competes with all of them. it gives you the facts a firm's own site states, in an order you choose. the right firm is the one whose roster looks like your music and whose terms you can read before you sign.
how much do music PR firms charge?
of the 79 firms here, 6 print a figure on its site. the rest quote on request. the cost guide collects every price we found published, with its source. Studio Raine's own price is $500 to $2,500 a month with a 3-month minimum.
how were these firms chosen?
they are the firms that came up for music PR searches and the firms that work jazz, read one site at a time. a firm is listed when its site is live, music PR is its stated business and it shows a roster or a client page. more are added as they are read.
what does "not stated" mean?
the firm's own site does not say it. we do not fill a blank from another source, so a founding year a firm never states stays blank even where it is well known.
I run one of these firms. how do I correct something?
email johnraine@studioraine.art with the line and the page on your site that says otherwise. it is fixed the day we read it. a firm cannot pay to be listed, moved or removed.
every published price is in the cost guide. what a firm can and cannot promise is in the guarantee guide.
