About Me

Isaac Promotions is New Zealand's premier Independent music promotions and marketing company.


It was formed in 2002 in response to a need within the NZ market for a comprehensive music focused company to service both labels and individual projects. The company's focus has always been to find suitable outlets for all ranges and styles of music and to help create and forge successful partnerships for its clients in the NZ market. Isaac has its roots in alternative music but over the past two years has grown to encompass full mainstream and commercially minded acts into its roster. The company has media and radio relationships that are second to none in both the commercial and alternative media spheres and has an excellent and well trusted reputation within the industry for delivering quality products that are well thought out and well followed through. Isaac services its extremely varied roster with commitment and passion to both to the music and its makers.
Since its inception in 2002 Isaac has evolved to become more than just a music marketing and promotions company. Due to the isolation and unique size of the NZ music market many international music companies either struggle to effectively enter the market or fail to enter the NZ market at all. As a result Isaac has become a first point of contact for many international companies seeking to get their catalogues and artists comprehensive coverage in NZ. In the past Isaac has paired international labels with NZ distributors, developed business plans for the territory, helped seek out touring agents for bands and drawn up countless overall strategy plans for companies seeking to overcome the barriers to entry in the NZ market. As a result Isaac has active working relationships with Universal Music NZ, EMI NZ, Sony/BMG NZ, Warner Music NZ and over half a dozen locally based NZ independent distribution companies, all of which are actively seeking to bolster their catalogues with quality international catalogues and projects.
Some of Isaacs current and past clients include Roadrunner Records (Nickleback, Slipknot), Speak n Spell Music (The Dears, Four Tet), Etch n Sketch Records (Midlake, The Walkmen) Rubber Records (Twilight Singers), Dew Process (Tilly & The Wall, Dungen, Tokyo Police Club), Inertia Recordings ( Ben Lee, Pop Levi, Taylor Hawkins) and many locally based labels and artsists including Dirty Records , Dawnraid Entertainment , Tardus Music (Fur Patrol, Minuit, Cassette, Die! Die! Die!, One Million Dollars), Capital Recordings (The Fanatics, Definite & Bling), Uprising (Concord Dawn, State of Mind), Akrite (Fast Crew), Global Routes, King Music and many others.
Isaac Promotions has had over 15 Gold and Platinum releases under its belt since its creation in 2002.
