Found.ee, the digital marketing and advertising platform acquired by Downtown Music Holdings in 2021, has announced the launch of a brand-new pre-save function for Amazon Music, allowing customers to save music to their library before release date.

Pre-Saving music is a powerful fan engagement tool, which helps boost streaming numbers upon release and builds momentum for creators. It will enable fans to engage with Amazon Music during album launches and pre-release marketing while providing Amazon Music customers a new way to stay connected to their favorite artists.
found.ee powers over 250,000 release page links a quarter, these will now all automatically load Amazon Music each time throughout the entire content marketing cycle. This functionality was previously only available for select DSPs. Through this exclusive launch by found.ee, its users, which include hundreds of labels and artist management companies, as well as Downtown Music Holdings divisions including FUGA, CD Baby, Soundrop, Downtown Music Services, HearNow and Show.co, will now automatically have Amazon Music as on option on landing pages for any album or single prior to launch with the powerful pre-save feature.
‘Downtown believes all creators should have equitable access to the technology and tools that enable rightsholders at any scale to promote their work efficiently and effectively,’ says Jon Bahr, VP of Business Development and Strategy for Downtown, ‘As we continue to expand our focus on music services, we are proud to have developed this offering in collaboration with the Amazon Music engineering teams to make sure an Amazon Music customer that’s a fan is part of the entire marketing campaign cycle.’
The found.ee platform gives artists the ability to connect with their fanbase with full transparency over their own first-party data. found.ee enables users to take complete control over their digital marketing, including tailored interactive banner and video ads, customizable landing pages, remarketing capabilities and more. These all educate and revolutionize the way artists, labels, managers and other industries capture audience plus target and optimize advertising campaigns.
The Amazon Music pre-save launch comes shortly after found.ee’s announcement of its new revolutionary self-service Video Advertising tool for reaching audiences globally on Connected TVs and Premium Content sites. found.ee’s platform supports 7,000 B2B entertainment clients, 400,000 artist users on Downtown properties Show.co and HearNow, and other integrations outside of the Downtown enterprise. These developments further strengthen the positioning of found.ee and the Downtown businesses as market leaders in driving equitable value on behalf of creators.

Our work with Amazon Music on pre-save functionality will drive a remarkable scale of fan engagement.
