Struggling to get a response from our team? We’re not pay for play, but we are a volunteer team – so we’re limited in what we are able to publish every week, and what we’re able to reply to.
Here’s a few things to keep in mind when pitching to the AU:
- Though we do publish some news, we are not a news site. We are not racing to be first on a story. So, if you send us a press release, we will see if there’s a way we can angle it accordingly, and chances are it may not end up in the cycle you expect. So a tour announced today may pop up in a feature in a month.
- We are always looking for exclusive content and unique angles; particularly ones where we can cross verticals – like music and travel! Look at the sort of content we do and see how you can pitch specifically for our audience.
- You can’t buy reviews, but why not consider premiering a song with us? You will guarantee placement into our Discovery playlist! Please just make sure to give at least 7 days notice, as we have a lot of demand for premieres and at busy times can be booked out weeks in advance. As of January 2021, we generally premiere no more than two releases a week.
- If all else fails, we do offer limited paid opportunities. Reach out to [email protected] to discuss.
