In the fast-evolving music industry, particularly within Africa’s vibrant and diverse music scene, standing out requires more than just talent. It demands strategic marketing and effective promotion.
UR-PR, a subsidiary of Unorthodox Media Limited, has emerged as a leader in this space, setting the standard for music marketing across the continent. Here’s an in-depth look at how UR-PR’s top services are transforming the music marketing landscape and helping artists achieve their goals.
UR-PR offers a range of services designed to address the unique challenges faced by independent musicians, record labels, and publicists. By combining industry expertise with a deep understanding of the African music market, UR-PR delivers results that make a significant impact.
1. Public Relations for Afrobeats and African Musicians
UR-PR’s public relations services are tailored to meet the specific needs of African musicians, with a focus on genres like Afrobeats. The agency excels in:
- Media Outreach: UR-PR has established relationships with top music blogs, entertainment news outlets, and influential media platforms across Africa. This network allows the agency to secure valuable press placements that enhance an artist’s visibility and reputation.
- Strategic Messaging: Crafting compelling press releases and media pitches that resonate with both local and international audiences is crucial. UR-PR ensures that each campaign effectively communicates the artist’s brand and message.
2. Press Placement Services
Effective press placements are key to gaining exposure and building a strong public profile. UR-PR’s press placement services include:
- Targeted Campaigns: Artists and publicists can choose between a Press Placement objective, a Social Media Promotion objective, or both. This flexibility allows for campaigns that align with specific promotional goals.
- Curator and Platform Selection: UR-PR offers a range of curators and media platforms. Clients select those that best match their genre and target audience, ensuring that press coverage reaches the right people.
- Rapid Results: Once a campaign is launched, UR-PR delivers results quickly, often within days, allowing artists to see the impact of their press placements in real-time.

3. Social Media Promotion
In today’s digital age, social media is a powerful tool for music marketing. UR-PR ensures that the promotional assets provided by clients are posted on the social media pages of top African music blogs and platforms. We focus on securing placements to maximize the reach and visibility of your content across key social media channels.
“We wanted to create a solution that would make life easier for publicists and labels while ensuring they can deliver top-tier results for their clients,” explains Godwin Mitchual, Godwin Mitchual, co-founder of UR-PR’s parent company, Unorthodox Media. “Our platform provides everything they need to manage campaigns efficiently, all in one place.”

UR-PR’s approach to music marketing is holistic, combining multiple services to create a cohesive strategy. This includes:
- Integrated Campaigns: Combining PR, press placements, and social media promotions into a unified campaign that amplifies the artist’s presence across various channels.
- Regional Focus: Tailoring strategies to specific markets such as Lagos, Accra, and Johannesburg. UR-PR understands the nuances of each region and adapts its approach accordingly.
- Results-Driven: With a focus on delivering measurable results, UR-PR provides detailed reports and insights into the performance of each campaign, helping artists understand the impact of their marketing efforts.
Why UR-PR Stands Out
UR-PR’s commitment to excellence and its deep understanding of the African music market set it apart from other music marketing agencies. The agency’s ability to offer customized services that address the unique needs of African artists ensures that clients receive the most effective support for their careers.
As the African music industry continues to grow and evolve, effective marketing and promotion are essential for success. UR-PR is at the forefront of this movement, setting the standard for music marketing with its comprehensive and tailored services. Whether through public relations, press placements, social media promotion, or integrated marketing strategies, UR-PR helps artists navigate the complexities of the music industry and achieve their goals.
This platform is a breakthrough for African musicians,” says Philip Edusei, co-founder of UR-PR. “We created it to empower artists with the tools they need to take control of their promotion and connect with new audiences, free from the typical obstacles.
If you’re an independent musician or a music professional looking to elevate your brand and reach new audiences, UR-PR offers the expertise and strategic support you need. Explore UR-PR’s services today and discover how the right marketing strategies can propel your music career to new heights.
