Testimonials


  • "Platform One marketing was beneficial to our growth as a new act. Through our agreement, they were able to secure several strong reviews, interviews and features in various publications, both print and online, ranging from college radio to Billboard.com." - Blip Blip Bleep

  • "Platform One IS our radio promotion department. Outstanding work, great energy, focus and vision are helping us to break our first band." - Mark Mazzetti Exec VP R&M Artist Records/National Product

  • "Platform One Entertainment was kind enough to ask us to be part of the performance at House of Blues. We happily agreed, as it's helping Chicago area school children through two great non-profits (Common's own The Common Ground Foundation and the National Foundation for Teaching Entrepreneurship). Education reform for Chicago's kids is a very easy charity to get behind, and being able to do that by playing a show with one of Chicago's best known and most successful homegrown artists is really exciting for us. Sometimes as an artist, it's easy to get wrapped up in your own self-created world. Being able to use our art to assist other organizations in creating positive change is an incredible experience in itself." - OFFICE

  • "I just want to say I am honored to be a part of such a wonderful event. Platform One Entertainment, NFTE & The Common Ground Foundation are organizations committed to helping and assisting the young people in our society. Thus, I am committed right along side of them in their efforts to do so. Thank you for allowing me to share my gifts with you. Love is life." - REESE

  • "We've worked with many different music marketers, promoters, and publicists. They all talked a good game, but never delivered. There were always excuses about how hard it is to promote an unsigned, upcoming band. Well, Platform One doesn't seem to have that problem! Only Platform One has brought us results! It's this simple ... Platform One walks the walk--they don't just talk the talk." - Pensive

  • "Platform One was the stepping stone I needed to help further my do-it-yourself career. They work completely for the artist and give everything they can to make sure that the artist is happy with all that they offer.” - Kate Myers

  • "The staff at Platform One are dependable, reliable, will give you professional looking products and have the contacts to get it to the right people." - Bad Veronika

  • "It's refreshing to work with a company like Platform One...they give us the attention that we would expect from major label marketing department." - Years Around the Sun

  • "Jeff Sodikoff and the Platform One team did a wonderful job as our label's digital marketing arm, expanding the online buzz for my artist in the blogosphere, lifestyle sites, and tastemaker social networking platforms. They are passionate, leave no stone unturned, and would be a strong asset for any record label or artist, on the extensive components of marketing, development, or as a general consultant." - David Blutenthal, manager of Todd Carey

  • "Platform One is one of the best decisions I've made for my career. They increased my digital presence from just Myspace to truly cyberspace. Platform One has a professional staff that works hard for the artists they represent. Platform One is the best, simply the best." - Reese

  • "Platform One is an awesome company to work with! The people are cool, and you really feel like they're officially on your team. Being completely indie, getting doors opened can be difficult. The Platform One team we're able to open up doors that would have been impossible for us to open ourselves. Our debut video, Shake Your Fantasy, received 100x more attention then it would have received with our own self promotion." - Mimi & Teft

  • "We have been very impressed by the support and professionalism of the Platform One team. Their ability to reach the outer edges of the digital world have been nothing short of amazing. They have provided an invaluable link to an entirely new fan base and they have generated a new level of interest in our music. Thank you so much P-1." - Ken Krei, Third Ward Records, manager of the Good Luck Joes
