What We Do
Four ways your video gets seen.
Music Video Distribution
Broadcast-ready mastering, closed captioning, and digital delivery to over 500 outlets — national TV, OTT, retail pools, and DJ/VJ networks.
Music Video Promotion
4-week and 8-week campaigns with weekly pitching to programmers, bi-monthly tracking reports, and direct relationships with the people who choose what airs.
Music Video Submissions
Single-network submissions when a full campaign isn't the right fit. Broadcast formatting, captioning, and delivery to the Viacom acquisitions meeting — $199 MTV/BET, $300 National Shows.
Music Video Publicity
Press release blasts to industry contacts, e-blasts to bloggers and curators, professional artist one-sheets, and social-media marketing to engage your channels.
The Network
Real screens. Real audiences. Real airplay.
Most artists upload to YouTube and hope. Rive Video distributes to the places people are actually watching. Below is the network — broadcast television, streaming TV, retail venues, and DJ/VJ pools.
