Playlisting & Publishing
At HUM, we offer a playlisting service rather than a streaming service. We focus on triggering the Spotify algorithm to ensure long term success on the platform. We do this by ensuring your song’s metadata is filled in before release, and by securing playlist placements for your track on 100% organic playlists. We also have contacts at Apple Music, Deezer and Amazon Music, and have successfully secured editorial placements on these DSPs for our artists.
A member of our Playlisting Team will be on hand to assist with all aspects of your release. Communication is a priority for us, and our team are available to talk via email or video call at any time during your campaign.

Social Media & Content Marketing Management
Social Media accounts are online social networking platforms and apps, which allow users to create, watch and share content. Drawing on different content types, these platforms lend themselves to the creation of music, comedy, lifestyle and sports led videos, with a focus and impetus on creating viral and trend-based content. They have rapidly become the fastest growing online/digital networking platforms, with many influencers, content creators and consumers gravitating towards these apps.
With a significant feature and element of social media, and the content posted on the platforms being music centered, these platforms can be used to help promote artists’ new music. Teaming up with the rapidly expanding network of influencers utilizing these apps, social media can be a fundamental method to distribute and promote music directly to audiences – in a new and innovative manner – while increasing engagement with the music, and inspiring the promotion of unique and organic user generated content.
