Working with Planetary has been awesome! Their weekly reports are super detailed and make it easy to track how the promo is doing. They have been super supportive and great and explaining the data we get every week! This has been super helpful as a first timer! I will personally be back!

Worked with Planetary on our first full length album on a US/CAN radio campaign. The album did well, charted all over North American stations and we got to make some in roads for interviews and live sessions. The weekly reports were very helpful as well.

I just finished an 8 week campaign with The Planetary Group. The entire team was professional, competent and friendly to work with. The campaign was very effective in getting my music very significant airplay with medium rotation on multiple station and even as high as a top 10 rotation.
