Highly Recommended!
I am sharing the work-space with Bryan Farrish Radio Promotion team.
They have made a very cool and energetic office environment, they are dedicated to their work making phone calls through out the day and working in this office made me understand how big and important radio promotion is.
I am always looking for a chance to talk to these guys and benefit from their promotional ideas for my own business and also enjoy their sense of humor.

I got results.
"Bryan Farrish Promotion got me radio airplay and national charting for my album that I couldn't have gotten any other way. They delivered, and June was very professional, and a pleasure to work with."

Can't speak highly enough...
As a songwriter and recording artist promoting and marketing my music has been my biggest challenge. I turned to Bryan Farrish Radio Promotion for my last three albums with each receiving increased attention and airplay. For the first time as a completely independent artist my song made #99 in the Top 200 FMQB Adult Contemporary plays and #10 in radio station adds through their team's efforts. And my campaign is only midway!
My treatment as a client has been personalized to match my best song to the best market. I have also received helpful editiing tips in making my songs more attractive to radio station music directors. I asked for help in getting my music to other resources such as film makers and through their networking was offered an opportunity for one of my songs to be featured in the independent film, "Fifth Form."
I can't speak highly enough of the level of Brian Farrish team's personal and professional attention, giving their utmost to my success as a recording artist and keeping me informed of every opportunity. I trust their integrity and knowledge.

Did exactly what they promised
I liked the pitch--explaining what they do and not making any extravagant promises--and signed up for a campaign I could afford. The folks at Bryan Farrish did exactly what they said they'd do: quickly identified 75 or 80 stations that played music in my genre and were receptive to indie material and called all of them every week for eight weeks. Half a dozen stations ended up spinning my song, which everyone tells me is doing great in today's market. Everyone there was friendly, helpful, and enthusiastic about my song and my album. I'd recommend them to anyone!

Internship
The people with whom I worked they were very professional and they love so much their work. I learned a lot with that, the passion for your work and they always showed great optimism and great professionalism. The environment was always good to work, and I was impressed how big is the radio and the importance of radio in Music Business. The quantity of radios around the USA and Canada, the different types, and how they work.
I can say that I did and learned about data entry, searching music and radio reference sites, pack and send mailings to radio and search for info on prospective clients. I assisted updating the radio, artist, interview and syndications database by seeking out additional information and entering it.

Unhappy Customer
Are you thinking about promoting your record to secondary radio, such as the FMQB AC, HOT AC or CHR charts? We hired Mr. Farrish's company to do that in 2011 and have demanded a refund of the amount we paid.
The good news was, Farrish got the record to #23 on the FMQB AC chart. The bad news was, I concluded there was no airplay actually going on on any of the stations on my spin reports. I have evidence I believe will hold up in court that at least 40% of the spins reported in fact never happened, and probably a lot more. I concluded these fake spins were to simply game chart position. My evidence consists of, I actually booked travel and flew to the listening areas of 3 of the stations reporting "heavy rotation" on the spin reports to actually listen to the stations, and heard zero spins. When I insisted Mr. Farrish provide me with a radio station I could travel to and actually hear my record, he came up with excuses, which I took to mean "no, there are no radio stations actually playing your record." After further research of the reporting stations on the spin reports, I found at least 10 stations reporting "heavy rotation" were not the correct format. My record was Dance-pop, but most of these off-format stations were country, gospel, or other non-AC or CHR station, who never were going to play a dance-pop record in a million years, so those spin numbers were false. I didn't care about chart position, I wanted airplay.
I have received letter from Mr. Farrish's attorney threatening a lawsuit, claiming defamation regarding .com, and am currently consulting with my attorney on a response. The letter is very emphatic in pointing out the promotion agreement does not guarantee airplay. But it then goes on to claim defamation because I claim there was no airplay. You can't have it both ways, Bryan.

Radio campaign for Deeper Still
After a long fight with cancer my wife Karen Sibilia passed away in 2011. In her last year she recorded a CD, "Deeper Still". The title song is a standout and I knew my wife left me a treasure I had to share. After months of attempting to promote it myself I was about to hang it up. Tony Cummings of crossrhythms.co.uk put it on his list of the 1001 greatest songs recorded by a Christian artist, that along with other favorable reviews, Encouraged me. So I contracted Bryan Farrish to do a radio campaign for me, and I am happy I did. Promoting a new artist who is not around to help the campaign has some drawbacks, so although I expected everyone who gave it a listen would play it, I knew that was not going to be the case. Kendra and the team at Bryan Farrish got some good results, and now a few weeks after the campaign has ended I am still getting spins. Thank you guys.
Your friend, Stephen Sibilia

This Company Seems BOGUS
I am a NonCommercial + College radio promoter with a ton of experience in this field, and have dealt with hundreds of stations in my years and have seen a great number of my projects achieve extremely high success rates. This company, Bryan Farrish, was brought to my attention through one of my radio stations with which I have a close relationship. In all of my years of being in this business, I have NEVER heard of this company.
I am concerned about this, and would like to make artists that may have been contacted by this company aware of that fact that if stations on the panel have never heard of this company, and the promotion community has never heard of this company-- it is highly suspect that they have the established relationships necessary to run any sort of effective radio marketing campaign. Not to mention the super cheesy, outdated website, and slew of postings by supposed clients that have only posted this singular review EVER on this site. Furthermore.. the odd use of quotation marks around words in these reviews are frequent in a number of the postings below, which leads me to believe that these have been falsified, and most likely by the same idiot person.
As a LEGITIMATE radio promoter, who has now worked with two very well-established independent music marketing companies, and having dealt frequently with projects for ALL of the major labels, in addition to a countless number of independent labels + self-released artists..... PLEASE BE WARNED. That this company looks EXTREMELY suspicious to me. Please proceed with caution.

Very Appreciative
Dear, wonderful people at " Bryan Farrish Promotions " And I do mean wonderful;... An organization can most often be judged by the fruit that it bears and the personnel it employs to represent itself. Scripture states that only a good tree can produce good fruit, so Mr. Bryan Farrish, ( You Must Be A Worthy Tree ) that "God" speaks of.
My correspondence with "Mike Davis" "Julie" and "Trevor" has been nothing short of total satisfaction . I've had the good pleasure to speak with "Mike " on several different occasions and "Julie" at least once.
I have found you all to be sincere,warm hearted,honest and commited. Whenever I called, you all would answer,and when emailed,you all responded. Let me now say what is in my heart right now upon continually hearing from this" outstanding establishment " even after I fell on difficult circumstances. Not many organizations would care but you all truly do.When I got "Julies' " email
I welled up with joy as this was exemplary of the exorbitant nature of the company as a whole.Our God is loving,compassionate,merciful and charitable. Mr. Farrish, you and your enchanting staff, I commend you for exhibiting those same attributes that pertain to our "Lord", especially at this time of the year. So in closing I say that I will never forget the love shone me and will always consider you all first and foremost in all my future ventures as top notch business associates and most of all friends!!! Please feel free to share this with your entire staff and whomever else you deem necessary. May God bless everyone there this season and throughout the coming year and your families." To God be the glory" yours truly;

Not a competitor...
Hmm... not sure what the problem is, except for obvious competitors of theirs posting fake bad reviews (like the one by "Jack M" a few posts below mine, on 11/21/2011). I was a client of theirs a while ago and was happy with results. They contacted me a few days ago and asked me to write a review, because my campaign was apparently one that that is sold very rarely... the $6000 one... which is what the other reviewer is complaining of. The catch is, I was the last one to buy that campaign, and it was 2 years ago. Plus, if I were not happy, I would not say "the stations were not contacted". I would do what I did, and that is to call the stations and and ask the program directors if they ever got contacted about my music. The program directers that I did talk to said yes. Not every week, but they did get calls. Some said they got emails too. And these, by the way, were ones that did not play my music, which is why I called them. When I asked them why they didn't play it, most said because they want billboard charting first. I guess I probably talked to about ten of them, but man it took weeks and lots of tries just to get that many. At first I talked to a lot of music directors and receptionists, and then I asked my contact at farrish why they did not know about me, and I was told that they dont' pitch to those people because those people can't do what we want. So after focusing on program directors only, I was satisfied. Anyway what I did get was many playlists with me on it (next to major artists), and many emails directly from stations saying they were playing me. If I were unhappy like "Jack M" posted on 11/21/2011, I would not wait over two years to complain. And my contact at farrish said that they never even had a music client name Jack, ever.

I’ve been blessed with the privilege to speak with Kendra of Bryan Farrish Promotions on several occasions and found her to be a very helpful , knowledgeable and extremely professional person in the field of promotions. All the information she furnished was top quality advice and enlightenment for every question I asked; I found her to be exceptionally easy to converse with which was very important to me as a performer, she demonstrated a full understanding of all my inquiries.
I’ve been Blessed to be in the music industry for quite a while now and I found her to be not just involved as a business connection but a genuine promoter that actually cares for the clients careers; as she demonstrated by keeping up with several concerts of mine and encouraged my progress with regular updates and emails. I would highly recommend Ms. Kendra to any up and coming or even a highly established musician that needed professional guidance, promotions and or just a word of encouragement.

I had the pleasure of dealing with Kendra, in regards to one of my recording artist. I got a response no later than the following business day, with a full action plan. Lot of people in the industry... talkers. Kendra is the real deal and Bryan Farrish Radio promotion, do exactly what they say. That's what I call great service!

Mike Davis, from Bryan Farrish Radio Promotion, is a true professional. And super kind too. He guided our band One Nation Under A Groove in a perfect way, and helped us through the radiowaves to our success. Our album "Guardian Angel" is "on air" on a lot of radiostations all over the world, and we can't thank Mike Davis enough.
Love and peace

I have been in the music business for over 20 years. I've dealt with club owners, booking agents, radio stations and the like. My experience has been similar attempting to make deals with all of them. They were only interested in you if you had a huge following. As far as I was concerned if I already had a huge following I wouldn't need them.
Enter Bryan Fairish Promotions. They found me on the web via my website. These are real people, they listened to my music and made a determination on their own that I was good and made me an offer. This type of mindset is so unusual for me in my long experience in this business. They really "walk the talk". When they say they're going to promote they really do it. They're honest, communicative, and very caring. This blew my mind because of what I had been thru. They're really unique in a very mercenary type business.
Thanks Bryan Farrish Promotions you really helped me get my music career off the ground.

I used Brian Farrish RP to help promote my first album. I found them to be very professional, and they did exactly what they said they would do and at the price first quoted. Kendra was great, very proactive and easy to work with. Ended up with a decent amount of airplay and even a nice radio interview.

Recently I had the opportunity to work with a young lady and sales associate named Kendra with Bryan Farrish Radio Promotion. The experience was very informative and pleasant.
Kendra made sure all my questions were answered and was very helpful in making sure I knew all the options that were at my available with her company.
She also had been very diligent in follow up making sure I had been helped to the best of her ability. But not one bit pushy so to speak.
Kendra definitely was concerned for my welfare.
