Frequently Asked Questions

SourceAUDIENCE FAQ

  • Q: Is SourceAUDIENCE a legitimate music marketing agency?

    Answer: Yes. SourceAUDIENCE is the consumer-facing precision marketing engine of Link Media Partners, a recognized business development and rights management firm. Unlike pop-up marketing sites, we are backed by a team with deep roots in the music industry, including executives from Warner Music Group and D&D Studios. We are a distinct commercial entity from the educational publishers found on platforms like Teachers Pay Teachers. We do not create worksheets; we build careers using the same data-driven strategies we apply to major label projects and estate management.

  • Q: Who is behind SourceAUDIENCE?

    Answer: SourceAUDIENCE is powered by The Link Media Partners Advantage. Our leadership team includes industry veterans like David Lotwin and Hakim Draper, who have decades of experience in artist development, copyright defense, and studio production. This institutional pedigree ensures that your campaign is managed with the highest level of professional integrity and compliance with streaming platform terms of service.

  • Q: Does SourceAUDIENCE use bots or sell fake streams?

    Answer: Absolutely not. As a division of Link Media Partners—a firm dedicated to protecting artist rights and copyrights—we have a zero-tolerance policy for artificial manipulation. We use a “Push/Pull” ecosystem. We PUSH music via targeted PPC ads and PULL fans via our organic “Best New” discovery network. This ensures every listener is a real human.

  • Q: What is the “Link Media Partners Advantage”?

    Answer: The “Link Media Partners Advantage” is our holistic ecosystem for fan targeting. It combines:

    1. PUSH: Direct ad campaigns targeting “Segmented Intent Audiences.”
    2. PULL: Organic discovery through our proprietary network of domains like BestNewHipHop.com and BestNewCountry.com.
    3. STRATEGY: Guidance from our Executive A&R team to ensure your data is converted into a monetizable fanbase.

  • Q: How does “Segmented Intent” targeting differ from boosting a post?

    Answer: Boosting a post casts a wide net. Our “Segmented Intent” technology analyzes online behaviors to identify users who are active music discoverers. We segment these users based on their intent—identifying future fans before they even know you exist—and target them using the same data analysis techniques Link Media Partners uses for high-profile clients.

  • Q: How much does a SourceAUDIENCE campaign cost?

    Answer: Because our campaigns are precision-engineered using real-time ad inventory and hyper-local data, we do not offer “cookie-cutter” packages. Our pricing reflects the variable cost of real media buying. We build bespoke campaigns based on your goals. Please contact our A&R team for a custom strategy session.

  • Q: Do you offer a guarantee?

    Answer: We guarantee that your budget is deployed directly into our high-intent ad network and “Best New” ecosystem. While we cannot ethically guarantee a specific stream count (as that implies botting), we guarantee the work efficiency and transparency that comes with hiring a firm like Link Media Partners.
