Short answer: MusicPromoToday (also known as MPT Agency) is a real, operating music marketing agency. According to its own site it has operated since 2012, it is run by co-founders Anto Dotcom and Raffi Keuhnelian, and it publishes named case studies, a written-scope process and a clear no-guarantees policy. As with any agency, the right way to judge it is to check the specific things below yourself rather than rely on any single review thread.
What MusicPromoToday says it does
MusicPromoToday describes itself as a global music marketing agency that brings media relations, creator and UGC campaigns, paid media, streaming and platform strategy, audience and direct-to-fan growth, and artist and market development into one coordinated campaign. It works with independent artists, managers, labels, catalogs and brands, across all genres and territories.
Seven checks that apply to any music promotion agency
- Who runs it? A legitimate agency names its leadership. MusicPromoToday's about page names its co-founders, Anto Dotcom and Raffi Keuhnelian.
- Does it guarantee results? It shouldn't. MusicPromoToday's FAQ states that it does not guarantee streams, playlists, press, radio, charts or virality, and that it guarantees only the approved work and reporting in the written scope.
- Where do streams come from? The agency says it does not buy artificial streams or knowingly use bots, click farms or deceptive traffic, and that campaigns should use transparent advertising, approved platform tools and legitimate pitching.
- Is there a written scope? If there's a fit after an initial review, MusicPromoToday says it prepares a written scope with responsibilities and next steps, and that submitting a brief does not commit you to a campaign.
- Who will you talk to? Clients are given an assigned account manager, with weekly updates and campaign reports through a client portal.
- Can you see past work in context? The agency publishes case studies and says each one should show the starting point, timeframe, work performed and conditions behind the result. It also says past results are context, not a forecast of yours.
- Is paid media labelled as paid? On its PR service page, sponsored or purchased placements are identified as paid and budgeted separately from earned editorial coverage.
How to read online reviews of any agency
Agencies that run many campaigns tend to have both happy and unhappy clients, and anonymous posts are hard to verify. Give more weight to reviews that name a release, a timeframe and what was in scope. Then ask the agency directly for examples that match your genre, stage and goals, and compare what you are told with the written scope you're offered.
Questions to ask before you sign anything
- What exactly is in the scope, and what is budgeted separately (ads, creator fees, production)?
- Who is my day-to-day contact, and how often will I get reports?
- How will results be measured, and what was agreed before launch?
- Who owns the ad accounts, content licences and data at the end?
MusicPromoToday answers these questions publicly in its FAQ on team, experience and transparency.
