Scout for bookings, labels and press

Finding who to contact is the slow part of getting booked, signed, placed or covered. The scout does that part. You still send every message yourself.

Run a brief

1. Open Leads and press Find opportunities.
2. Say which artist, what you're after, where (a country, city or region) and when.
3. Add any constraints in your own words: capacity, fee floor, genres to lean on, who not to contact.
4. A few minutes later, a Suggested column appears on your board.

Review the suggestions

Each suggestion is one company: a venue, festival, agency, studio, label, music supervisor, magazine or brand. Open it to see why it fits, how you're already connected through people on Aden, the contact details it found published, and a drafted first message with your press kit link. Each draft has a score out of 100 with what to fix.

• Add lead turns it into a lead in New, with the draft on its timeline and a next step to send it. You set the date.
• Skip keeps it from coming back for this brief.

Switch on Every week and the brief runs again by itself until you switch it off.

Find creators

Pick Creators under "Looking for" (or type "find creators" in ⌘K) to find TikTok, Instagram and YouTube creators who could use your track in a video. The scout favours accounts whose videos reach more people than their follower count. Each draft asks them to use one track and offers no money.

Follow the roadmap

Open Roadmap for the order to work in: warm introductions first, then targets that open several doors, then direct pitches. Steps have a date and an owner, and tick themselves when a lead is emailed or moves on. Change anything by hand, or in words: "Nova can't play weekdays".
