wE HELP ARTISTS STAND OUT
Growth STRATEGIES BUILT BY ARTISTS, FOR ARTISTS
Standout Agency was launched by artists who are actively creating and touring at a professional level. We know it because we live it.
ABOUT US
WE DON’T JUST DO MUSIC, WE LIVE MUSIC
artist owned & operated
We aren’t just reselling hot tips that we picked up from a guru on YouTube; we are teaching you strategies that we’ve learned through years of trying and failing until we figured out how to succeed. We are artists at heart, and our understanding of what YOU are trying to do, and WHAT IT MEANS to you is paramount in our approach.
AFFORDABLE, REAL RESULTS
Our team has over 30 years of combined experience. We have toured across the US, Asia, the UK, and Europe; have played some of the biggest festivals in the world… but more importantly, we’ve also played house shows to 3 people. We understand that artists don’t have a lot of money, so we’ve designed our services to deliver real, impactful results at an affordable rate.
not about the fluff
Our main focus is growing a strong foundation to a long-term fanbase. We skip the vanity metrics, and focus on building a real, engaged fan base that streams your songs, buys tickets to your shows, pre-orders your merch, and supports your musical endeavors for years to come.

FOCUSED GROWTH WHERE IT COUNTS
WE NEVER USE ANY FORM OF ARTIFICIAL STREAMING OR BOTS TO INFLUENCE OUR CAMPAIGNS.
THE STANDOUT PROMISE
CLEAR PRICING, real results
This is our promise to you.
We will never sell you on services that you don’t need.
If there is no forward movement after a campaign, we’ll refund 100% of your money.
Our pricing is designed with artists in mind.
Sometimes as an artist it seems like everyone but the musician is getting paid.
You have to pay for your gear, the producer, songwriter, engineers, designer, videographer, etc. etc. etc. etc.
Again, WE ARE ARTISTS… so, hey, we get it.
We’ve designed our pricing to support your growth, and we make these promises so you know this investment has a return.
FAQ
answers to your questions
-
All campaigns are purchased here on our website, which processes payments through Squarespace Payments.
-
You do, but your ad spend is included in what we charge for the service.
The base agency fee for each service is listed on the service page. The “options” or “variants” you select will add ad spend to the agency fee.
-
We run all ads through our agency ad accounts on Meta and Google. You will not have access to edit or change anything on the campaigns. We will show you how things are set up in our video reports.
Since we run the ads on our accounts, Meta & Google charge us for the ad spend, which is why we include ad spend on our invoices.
-
Not for you! PayPal and Stripe charge us processing fees, but we take those out of our agency fee to make sure your ad spend remains intact.
-
Spotify Growth is a minimum of three months.
YouTube Growth depends on your overall objective. If you’re just wanting a boost on views, it can be a one-time process. If you’re wanting consistent month-to-month growth, it’s also three months.
Tour Marketing depends on the length and complexity of the tour.
-
No song is ever old to a new listener.
It’s never too late to market your music.
If you have a new release upcoming, we actually prefer to get started a month or two ahead of time on whatever is already out so that we can build things up for the new release.
-
At this time, the three services listed on this website are all we offer.

FPMG Distribution: Boutique, label-level music distribution for up-and-coming artists of any genre.
