This is Industry Insider: a weekly 5-minute brief with key news, interviews, advice, smart picks & follows, built for artists and industry folks alike.
WHAT'S INSIDE
☝️ ONE BIG THING
THE MIRACLE GREW LEGS
When we opened the door on the V13 Christmas Miracle, the idea was simple: give away real PR work to artists because the system keeps squeezing them and we’re done watching quietly from the sidelines.
A few weeks in, what hits hardest isn’t the volume, it’s the level. Song after song, story after story, we’re seeing artists and authors who should already have whole teams behind them. It’s a reminder that the problem was never a lack of talent — it’s access, attention, and who gets heard.
This campaign has basically turned into a signal boost for that hidden layer. We’re just grateful we get to be in the inboxes, DMs, and release plans of this many ridiculous humans, helping push their work a bit further out into the world.
And now, on to the rest of the newsletter.
