    An absolute embarrassment, from start to finish. Very poorly written press releases. No clear campaign strategy, leading to a scattershot approach that basically amounted to spamming their list of media outlets. As they don't seem to have any relationships at the outlets they pitch to, their results were humorously unimpressive - podcasts with no followers, web sites with no readers, blogs with no followers. For $4,000, you'd do better to buy a used car and drive around promoting your business yourself. Definitely not recommended. Stay away from this company.

    Their business model is to make money from the desperate artist and give them little hope so they keep on coming back but ultimately leave them in the same position. I did more for myself in 1 month what they did for me in 6 months. If you want your career to go anywhere please don't put your dreams in the hands of these thieves.

    Please, if you are reading this avoid this "pr" company. It should be noted, I honestly gave them every chance to make my situation right before writing this review. Unfortunately, after their CMO Patrick emailed me quote: "That is not acceptable to me as an outcome and I'm grateful that you shared it with me so that I can do something about it to take action", he has since ghosted and has failed to return all subsequent emails over multiple months. Quite honestly, I got more out of a $50 submit hub campaign than a 3 month $3000 pr campaign with Effective Immediately (aka Gramophone). They failed to produce any results. Zero. Not even one crummy spotify placement. I am in a niche sub genre, know my music is an acquired taste, and didn't go into this campaign expecting unrealistic results. However, There was no apparent effort to learn about the movers and shakers in my genre and do any real leg work. It really seemed like they just use submit hub themselves and up charge indie artists 60 times what it's worth. In fact, most of the feedback from their searches was from a lot of the same people I have submitted to on submit hub with the same 1-2 sentence reviews. I don't understand how a pr company performs so badly. During the course of my campaign, I was able to secure a few hundred playlist placements, land multiple blog reviews, and build my own network of radio broadcasters myself. Without any previous experience in promo. I hired these guys because I was inexperienced. Just fumbling in the dark I acheived better results. My hope is that they are just terrible at promotion as I want to believe that their business model is not just set up to scam unsuspecting, naive indie artists. At the end of the day, I blame myself for not researching this company more. I have learned an expensive and valuable lesson. My only hope by writing this review is that I save another musician out there from making the same mistake I did. Avoid Effective Immediately at all costs.
