Had very good experience with Spotify playlist I purchased the 1 month and it came with a two week campaign also… I was happy with this but was still skeptical about playlisting I got 7k streams on distro kid that I was paid for so far using this service it’s a start to something that could be utilize by all independent artists to gain leverage on every platform when knowing your audience I never write reviews because I’m the one that hired the company for my service but this has to be said to help denovo out as I believe in this company now and want to spread the word for other independent artist to jump on there services asap to grow it won’t be a fast process but working with them you’ll stream toward the right direction.

Denovo keeps trying to delete this, but we have talked with other artists on our "fans also like" who also admit that they have also been scammed by Elliot and James. We actually didnt use any other playlisting services other than DeNovo. Their reply is a lie. We've done further homework to confirm that Elliott and James are running a scam with playlists with bot listeners from Buffalo and Dallas. This has had a negative impact on our "artists also like". Most of them are rappers with less than 1000 monthly listeners and all are tied to the same playlist "curators" as Denovo claims to you. (We are actually an indie country act) We said that we promised to write a thorough honest review. If they'd have owned up to this and refunded us 50%, we would have included that in this review. Alas, they did not, and are using snakey language to cover their own shady tracks. The guys are clear cut liars and are preying on new artists, and coming up with not so clever replies to shift the blame somewhere else. These are BAD people and you should not do business with them, Paid $350 to be playlisted on irrelevant genre playlists full of bots from Buffalo and Dallas (do your own googling about this topic). This is the very thing we were hoping to avoid by getting involved with this company. There is a truth in their tagline about "Data Driven" marketing. If the data counts as bots in data centers feeding a Spotify page bad data, these are your guys!! There's so many points on our Spotify artist page that show how we were duped. The more digging we did, the more we realized that not only had we wasted money, we had actively paid someone to feed our account fake streams. The consultation call is more or less a predatory sales pitch. Afterwards, we addressed the data that we found and Elliot replied to us basically saying that since Spotify is paying royalties, they weren't technically "fake" streams. They also tried to take credit for us getting into Release Radar/Discover Weekly, which had happened 2-3 weeks prior to us even hearing about DeNovo Agency. Also, there's a reason that one half of this duo is a lawyer. If you so much as call this data out, James will email you in such a way that covers them legally. He emailed us saying he didn't appreciate us trying to extort him.... (We were asking for 50% of our money back) There are accounts on reddit with similar experiences with this company to verify. Do your own research. Run FB/IG/TikTok ads. Do not pay people to playlist your music. Ever.

We are deeply concerned and disappointed to read your review. At De Novo Agency, we take such feedback seriously and are committed to addressing your concerns transparently and professionally. Firstly, we want to categorically deny any involvement in fraudulent activities or the use of bots. Our playlist pitching service is designed to connect artists with real audiences, and we strictly adhere to ethical practices in all our operations. The allegations of using bot listeners from specific locations are unfounded and not reflective of our business practices. Regarding the playlists and genre relevance, we strive to match artists with playlists that best suit their music style. However, we understand that not every campaign meets expectations, and we're open to feedback to improve our services. The consultation calls we offer are intended to be informative and helpful, not predatory. We regret if it came across differently to you. Our goal is always to provide value and assist artists in making informed decisions about their music promotion strategies. As for the claims about Spotify's Release Radar/Discover Weekly, we only share information based on the data available to us. If there was a misunderstanding or miscommunication regarding the timing of these placements, we apologize for any confusion caused. Regarding your request for a refund, our policy is to evaluate each case on its merits. We believe in fair resolution and are open to discussing your specific situation further. However, we must clarify that requesting a refund under the threat of a negative review can be construed as extortion, which is why we approached the situation with caution. We are saddened to hear that your experience with De Novo Agency did not meet your expectations. We invite you to contact us directly to discuss this matter further. Our aim is to resolve any issues amicably and professionally, ensuring that all our clients feel heard and valued. Sincerely, De Novo Agency Team
