Every month, over 65,000 music industry professionals use one or more of our products.

Increasingly, companies have been asking us about advertising to our influential audience. But, we didn't want to do the same old shitty ads you see on other sites. You know, the kind of ads where you have to click a tiny "x" to stop a shitty video playing over the content? Or, where before you can read the article you have to close a shitty pop-up? Or, even after you close the shitty pop-up, there's then 5 companies competing for the prize of shittiest gif ad (which also crashes your browser)?

Yeah, we don't want that. You don't want that.

Instead, over the last year we've been testing a much more minimal, quality-over-quantity approach. One brand at a time. No pop-ups. No flashing ads. No interruptions. Ads that are always labelled as ads. We're focused on helping to promote relevant stuff including (the right) brands, artists, tours, signings, news, and more. i.e. not shitty.

This means our ads aren't for everyone. If your brand needs to interrupt people to get attention then there's plenty of options out there. If you're looking for max impressions and impossibly low CTRs, we recommend Meta. But, if you're looking to get in front of 10's of thousands of professionals in a cool, not shitty, way? Get in touch.

p.s. For our customers this means you won't see a lot of ads - especially on ROSTR (max one ad in the sidebar). On our 100% free platforms like Jobs by ROSTR, Stack, New Industry Friday and ROSTR Insider you may see more ads but never as pop-ups and never more than a couple per page.
