Including Signals, PreRelease Submissions, Curator Interactions, and Partner Platform Protections
Songtools is a music promotion and advertising internet-accessible platform (the “Platform”) that allows Client to fund and activate playlist promotion and display ads that are algorithmically generated based on Client’s distributed or uploaded digital assets without having to interact with a third party vendor or salesperson (“self-serve”). The Platform utilizes proprietary technology to bid on and deliver media on www.playlister.club, www.songtools.io and related apps and services, through Partner-branded or white-labeled experiences, and/or across third party advertising platforms, including but not limited to: (i) social media platforms (Songtools, Instagram, SnapChat, YouTube, TikTok and Google, among others); and (ii) commercial Demand-Side-Platforms or DSPs (each a “Channel” and collectively, the “Channels”) on the Client’s behalf (the “Service”).
The Platform utilizes proprietary technology to deliver media and promotional workflows across www.songtools.io, www.playlister.club, affiliated applications, embedded partner services, social media platforms, digital advertising platforms, playlist curator systems, and commercial demand-side platforms (“Channels”).
