HIP Video Promo

WELCOME TO THE HOME OF HIP VIDEO PROMO!

With over 12 years of experience promoting over 1500 videos by the best independent artists and bands on the planet, HIP Video Promo has become the country's leader in music video promotion. Music video promotion, now more than ever, continues to be an integral part of any successful marketing campaign for both independent up and comers as well as established artists. With radio opportunities perpetually dwindling, video offers a unique service to the consumer in a format that is in higher demand than ever. Let's face it! Given the choice to just hear new music, or hear new music with a visual component, studies show 90% of music lovers prefer the latter. Having HIP as your video promotion team leaves you the time to attend to the bigger picture of the overall marketing campaign, and assures you the video will be presented in a professional way and arrive to all the appropriate destinations in a timely fashion. We encourage you to check out our client list, and there you can see we are not a promo company that just takes on any client no matter what the video looks like. Unlike others that do what we do, we are extremely selective about the videos we promote and are constantly searching for compelling artists and well shot videos to get in on the ground floor with. Like I've always told my staff, if it is not a video we would program on our own video show if we had one, it's not a video that we have any business promoting!

• Make your music video an integral part of your successful music marketing campaign.  At HIP Video Promo, music video promotion is the only thing we do! My staff and I are your guides through the treacherous terrain of music video promotion, and are here to make it as easy as possible for you to achieve maximum exposure for your video. We have extensive experience, with hundreds of success stories of championing the poor, huddled independent music masses yearning to be seen and heard. Our constant goal is to supply our programmers with the videos their viewers really want to see. HIP has helped dozens of major and independent labels, as well as hundreds of independent bands and artists secure exposure on national channels (MTV, Much Music, etc.), video on-demand portals (Music Choice, Havoc TV, etc.), regional & multi-market outlets (JBTV, California Music Channel, etc.), retail pool/content providers (Promo Only, DMX, etc.), as well as high profile blogs and websites, including premiere and feature opportunities..

• We have built the most impressive client roster in the industry. HIP Video Promo has serviced videos by such epic talents as Pearl Jam, Johnny Cash, Motley Crue, Maroon 5, Elvis Costello, The B-52s and "Weird Al" Yankovic, as well being on the ground floor with artists like The Lumineers, Doomtree, Five Finger Death Punch, Death Cab For Cutie, The Gaslight Anthem, Paramore, K'Naan, Sharon Jones and The Dap-Kings and of Montreal. We work extensively with numerous major labels (Sony, Universal, etc.) and labels with major distribution (Lost Highway, Tommy Boy), but we also specialize in helping smaller labels like Merge, Polyvinyl, Sub Pop, FatCat, Kirtland Records, Secretly Canadian and Side One Dummy get the word out about their artists and videos.

• Streamline the promotion process to deliver your campaign on-time and hassle free. Having HIP as your video promotion team leaves you the time to attend to the bigger picture of your overall marketing campaign, and assures you the video will be presented in a professional way and arrive to all the appropriate destinations in a timely fashion. We don't neglect the personal touch, either. We maintain very friendly relations with all the important point people at the national outlets (MTV, VH1, FUSE, Much Music, Music Choice, The Cool TV, Havoc TV etc.), but never take for granted the many video programmers and programming opportunities in all the little corners of the music video community, including numerous secondary and tertiary markets throughout the country. Each year, Andy Gesner, owner of HIP Video Promo, makes a cross-country pilgrimage (the annual HIP Video Promo tour) in March to visit our cherished programmers all over the USA. With this kind of personal attention you can be assured that your video won't be falling through any cracks within the music video programming community.

Size doesn't matter to us. New or up-and-coming bands and artists get the same HIP combination of unmatched expertise, unique experience and untrammeled enthusiasm as the superstars.
