Pitchfork Advertising

You know kids these days. Always running around buying things. But what are they buying? Shouldn't they be spending that cash on something important? Like CDs? From your record label? There are millions of people out there at this very second filling their checkbook ledgers with purchases of target-marketed mediocrity. At Pitchfork, we're trying to cure their temporary insanity by pointing them in the direction of something that will stay with them their whole lives. Something they can be proud of. Good music. Indie label music.

Since 1995, Pitchfork has been churning out four record reviews every weekday. But unlike monster-media hype machines, we write about music with artistic integrity. And most of it's coming out on independent record labels. Over the years, we've grown into the web's most popular and prolific site for daily indie-focused record reviews and music news, with over 20,000,000 hits per month, 2,000,000 page views per month, and 30,000 unique user sessions per day. And these numbers grow larger with every passing week.

That's where you come in. Pitchfork offers a comprehensive series of ad packages from subtle and refined to grandiose and commanding. With ad rates ranging from $100-$700/month, Pitchfork can give your releases the kind of exposure they deserve. Whether you're a new label looking to establish a presence, or one of the big boys seeking to remind people when highly anticipated albums are being released, Pitchfork is there-- and we can make it happen.

Please contact Ryan Schreiber if you're interested in receiving a rate sheet and more information. Thanks for your interest and support.
