Press Offerings
Our publicity department succeeds by utilizing national, regional, and college press contacts, including print, TV, online, and other media outlets. The publicity department’s proficiency stems from the enthusiasm for each individual project. The focus is on achieving maximum exposure to an audience customized for each band.
Like our Radio Department (but unlike our competitors) the Team Clermont publicity department only takes on a handful of projects at any given time so that each project and each client has special hands-on attention. Our strength comes from our desire to help our clients do what they set out to do: sell records.
National Press
National press campaigns are tailored individually for each band according to genre, level and budget. National print outlets include Rolling Stone, Spin, Magnet, Alternative Press, Paste; lifestyle magazines such as Details and NYLON; specialty magazines such as Guitar Player and Modern Drummer; national college publications; national and international zines include, NME (UK), Tape-Op, Skyscraper, Venus, Impose, and Big Takeover.
Tour Press
Tour press is still the best way to get press, no matter what level a band is on. We provide aggressive, thorough tour press targeting the monthly, daily, weekly, bi-weekly, and college publications. Local TV affiliates are targeted when appropriate.
TV and Non-Traditional Media
National TV outlets include Conan O’Brien, Lettermen, Leno, Jimmy Fallon, Carson Daly and more. Obviously, bands must reach a certain level of national exposure before being pitched to talent bookers. Other media outlets include NPR, syndicated radio and newswires, the internet, fanzines, and college newspapers.

Radio Offerings
Our radio department gets results through years of long-term working relationships with over 600 college, public, satellite, online and commercial stations across the U.S. and Canada. Campaigns generally last six or more weeks, and are strategically planned to meet the expectations of every client on every record. Simply put, we get radio airplay.
College & Public Radio
Team Clermont campaigns generally last 6 or more weeks to as many as 500 top-ranked college, public, community, satellite and online radio stations in the United States and Canada. We begin with the prep work in the weeks prior to the add date with calls, personalized and blast emails, sending links to videos and songs, and more. Next, we focus on bringing in the adds during the week of the add date.
We work about half as many records as our competitors, this way, you know you will always be a priority for Team Clermont, and your records will not become part of a laundry list. Our team promotes records to radio through long standing relationships with the stations and provides weekly tracking reports, detailing all pertinent info on the record at each station. Our goal is to get maximum airplay for each record and chart positions which reflect that airplay.
Alternative Specialty Shows
For years Team Clermont has serviced these commercial specialty DJs with astounding success, and our commercial department charts almost every single it works.
When a radio campaign is ready to take the next step from college radio and springboard its way to real commercial radio airplay, Team Clermont gets the doors open and gets the job done. This is a separate service from college radio (and not for every release) with its own rates and review process. Please submit music noted specifically for commercial specialty shows separately.
