“My Cyber PR campaign is awesome.I think so highly of this whole company. They have done everything that they’ve promised. They don’t half-a** anything; they do 100% of what they say they will do.”

“I don’t want to think about what my career would be like without Ariel Publicity. All I know is that since I’ve been working with Ariel, my live audience has tripled. I attribute that increase to the efforts of Ariel Publicity…this is the best thing I’ve done with my music.”

High personal touch and niche marketing are critical in today’s music business, and Cyber PR campaigns can cater to any niche or genre with a personal feel.

Cyber PR campaigns bypass newspapers, TV, and radio to focus entirely on Internet-based media. This is where today's music is experienced, discussed, and purchased.

  • Ariel Publicity creates all of these

social networks for you and teaches you how to effectively use them!

Cyber PR Artist – Sara Haze

“On a daily basis, Ariel Publicity keeps me alive on the net. I could have never located so many of these outlets on my own; if I had, I could have never individually reached out to all of them. Even if I knew all of these people in the media personally, the draining outreach process would have completely broken me down.”

“Right before starting with Ariel, my visa from France was quickly running out. My lawyer told me it was possible for an artist to get a visa for “outstanding performance” in music, but that with my current level of publicity, I had no chance of even applying.

To earn the “Extraordinary Ability Visa," you have to prove to a judge that you are one-of-a-kind, and show documentation attesting to your success.

When I brought all the publicity that I had received from my Cyber PR campaign to the judge, he was thoroughly impressed, and I won my case. I was awarded a visa to stay in the United States.”

- Josephine (Acoustic, Pop)
