We are SickSet Media. A company which understands that effective music marketing is a crucial yet often overlooked component in a band or artist's development. We know from our own personal experiences that without it, even the most talented bands and artists can struggle to reach their potential audience. This is where we excel. We specialise in well-connected PR campaigns and data-driven digital marketing strategies tailored to help bands and artists achieve their breakthrough. The journey to becoming a successful band or artist involves more elements than you might think – from media attention and streaming numbers to online hype, gaining fans, and sales.

meet our founder

Our founder, Daniel Hodson, brings a wealth of experience to SickSet Media. With over a decade of touring, multiple record label signings, and performances at some of the UK’s most established festivals, Daniel quickly recognised a pattern of challenges faced by both emerging and established rock and metal artists. In 2022, after extensive experience in fronting high-profile digital marketing campaigns across various industries and collaborations with major media outlets, Daniel founded SickSet Media.

He envisioned a multifaceted, honest, and transparent PR and marketing agency dedicated to the rock and metal music industry. This is why at SickSet Media, we are dedicated to guiding artists through the complex world of the music industry. We understand that each band and artist is unique, and we tailor our strategies to meet their specific needs and goals. Our commitment to helping bands and artists achieve visibility and success, stems from a sincere understanding of the passion that drives the hard work that goes into any band or artist.
