MAR, one of 2022’s most prominent rising talents, started off 2023 with 2 huge releases that built on top of her unique brand building campaign with MPT Agency. Debuting her career with the smash hit “Quédate”, MPT Agency provided a 360 campaign that included:
Social media management
A full build up of her music pr assets, featured stories, pr placements
TikTok influencer campaign – more than 250 videos from various influencers
Press & media outreach
Music video campaign – advertising, fan engagement, monetization of channel
Publicity and advertising for her 8 city European Tour
Advertising and OOH across Europe and North America
Following a major successful single debut release with “Quédate“, Mar released 2 more singles: “Calavera” & “Mas Que tu Amiga”. Both became huge hits grossing millions in reach across Spotify, YouTube and many other DSP’s… additionally was featured on a series of Spotify’s coveted Editorial playlists.
From an early age, MAR developed her skills by taking piano and vocal classes, a training that has also allowed her to show her heart and noble feelings through her compositions: “When we are children, we have the quality of absorbing everything like a sponge. In my case, growing up in a musical environment where I was exposed to concerts, rehearsals, recordings, instruments, etc., was the great magnet and the “call” that encouraged me to start writing songs while taking my classes.”
Officially starting her solo career, MAR assures that “a new era begins in my life, a new chapter in which I am transforming and evolving as a soloist for the first time, and I am ready to embrace the future from this new perspective.”
Throughout her campaign MAR sold out 3 performances in some of the world’s top venues:
Teatro del Verme in Milan
The London Palladium
The Wizink Cente in Madrid
Olympia in Paris
The Santiago Martín Sports Pavilion in Tenerife.
Her first single “QUÉDATE” had an overwhelming response, reaching the top of the popularity charts in Mexico and other Spanish-speaking countries, and her official video exceeded 6+ million views on YouTube in just a few weeks.
October 21, 2022, marks the premiere of “CALAVERA” MAR’s second single, a song that impacted the audience and has not left anyone indifferent due to its powerf melody, MAR’s explosive voice, and the fiery rhythm that accompanies it.
To close 2022, MAR surprised her audience by launching “MÁS QUE TU AMIGA” on December 1st, a song that will surely become a favorite during the holidays and this end of the year, because it’s a new version of one of her father’s, Marco Antonio Solís, ‘classics’.

Challenges:
As a young but talented debut artist, one of the challengs with MAR was setting the branding standard for who she was going to be in the media. A convicted artist with a strong mindset, it was important for MPT Agency to maintain a prestein reputation and avoid any type of shock related publicty.
Pairing debut artists with top media is always a challenge, but with our expert copy team that studied and interacted with the artist at a deep and personal level, we were able to create a persona that both brought out MAR’s cultural singing roots as well as her firey modern attitude.
Working with a very short time frame and a fast paced publicity sprint across European markets was also an interesting challenge. In 30 days our team managed to maximizing her coverage across billboards and classic media throughout Europe. Using both the classic pitch and a piggy back media approach MAR was featured on some of the highest traffic areas around the globe including the Hollywood Strip, Les Champs Elisee, and Time square.
Fan Engagement:
With regular weekly meetings with her team, MPT Agency built an interview walkthrough with MAR so that her narrative, answers, and exceptional charm was present thorughout her public appearances.
Our social media team took an in depth analysis at her audiences to form a tribal following around her personality and existing engagements in her native Mexico.
Utilizing Instagram and TikTok as her main outreach socials, MAR’s fanbase is now at nearly 242k followers with a verified Instagram tag (a 30K+ growth since beginning of campaign).
Impact:
As a natural born talent, MAR’s work with MPT Agency solidified her entry into the music market both in the US and abroad. With a combined viewership of 15 million across platforms, MAR has today crossed the monetization threshold for both YouTube and Spotify, and maintains over 90,000+ listeners per month. With over 75% of artists who fail to launch properly this was a testament to MPT’s abilities to offer musicians a unique launching pad for their careers.
Being a debut star when she entered and today selling out international shows, MAR’s campaign demonstrated that the key to a successful campaign is not long stretches of time, but rather meticulously planned campaigns that are concentrated in effort, and wide in their reach.
Both her songs and her style will develop throughout 2023 and incorporate a variety of novel artists.

Kelly Monrow
By MusicPromoToday
Campaign Overview:
Kelly Monrow, was no stranger to the spotlight when she joined the MPT Roster. With roles in both films and hit TV productions like Lucifer, Kelly had just penetrated the music market when she signed up to our Rise to Fame Campaign. A full suite of social media, press and streaming services to get her new album Scars on Venus to hit a new milestone in the US Country-Rock industry.
Running from the Fall of 2022 to Q1 of 2023 the campaign consisted of launching the albums in a single burst as the singles for the tracks had been released a few months prior. Kelly had a name in hollywood but was new to music media scene. MPT Agency had the pleasure of launching an album with powerful message of female empowerment, and the inspiring narrative of overcomming adversity despite all odds.
The Title track “Mama Said” went on to hit over 1 million views, and earn Kelly Monrow a top 30 seat in the US Country Charts as well as a top 40 position in the Pop Category.
MPT Agency provided a 360 campaign that included:
Social media engagement & growth campaign
A full build up of her music pr assets
Spotify campaign with editorial submission sprint
YouTube monetization campaign
Media outreach
Radio Outreach
TopTier Press coverage
Music video campaign
Full Suite of Digital Advertising
During the Covid lockdowns, Kelly Dowdle decided to pursue her long-lost passion of becoming a singer, so she created the moniker Kelly Monrow and started writing her first tracks. The Americana is a true performer and a genuine songwriter keen on sharing her perspective by telling passionate, sometimes personal stories that both inspire others and help her heal as a person. As a creative, Kelly thinks it’s important to keep a fire burning at all times whether it’s film, singing, songwriting, and/or photography. Picking one lane as an artist is not Kelly’s philosophy.
Scars of Venus was released on October 10, 2022. The 12-track record, a flawless fusion of Americana and 90’s alternative Pop-Rock sounds take you on a journey of personal emancipation from one’s own introspective chains. This new 90’s sound is best displayed in the songs “Down Your Spine” and “Pain Turns to Love”. From the fist-pumping, powerhouse track “The Woman”, to the dark pop reflective song “Wounds”, Kelly Monrow bares her soul and claims her throne in this latest LP. While “Go For Gold” is an exciting percussive inspirational anthem with a healthy dose of EDM, Radio-ready pop tracks like “Ain’t Mine”, “Jagged Heart”, and “Wake Up” mix novelty of country-rock and that wholesome familiarity.

Challenges:
In the highly competitive scene of country-rock it was difficult for a new artist to steal the heart of america, with so much controversy throughout 2022 flooding the media with clickbait. The key was to focus on Kelly’s message to the world, and it was this that was able to break through the noise.
Our objective was to create a powerful America Niche of fans to focus her fanbase on the North American continent all while maximising the reach of her music. With the average American city costing 2.5x times the cost per click, it was integral for MPT Agency to put forward engaging videos and stories to propel Kelly’s visibility. Locating nich rock and country fans in both Portugal and Brazil, MPT leveraged the wave of listeners from emerging markets to multiply the visibility of Kelly’s search algorithm in North America.
As the album was released in a single dose, MPT Agency segmented the songs into niche pockets of listeners for each state by state. Where one was being pushed in Texas, others were being put onto Georgia radio stations, while the video would be trending in New York. Using this type of rotative advertising and crowd building MPT Agency cleared nearly 500k views per month for the entire catalogue. Compiling over 20,000 watch hours on Youtube alone.
Fan Engagement:
With fans ranging from 18 – 44 and focusing on a female audience, Kelly’s music has received thousands of strong and inspiring comments from people who both resonated with her personality and story.
The top hit “Mama Said” has grown to well over 3.5 Million views and a quick look at the comment section will demonstrate how this powerful song will stand the test of time as one of this decade’s most important empowerment narratives.
Impact:
Kelly’s Rise to fame campaign managed to break the glass ceiling for a young talented artist that has an illustrious career ahead. Appearing on the cover of Bridge magazine and a full spread in Billboard magazine, Kelly Monrow’s music is well on its way to being a household name, and may very well be a nominee for the upcoming Country Music awards and other stable awards in the industry.
By founding these solid pillars for her digital presence, Kelly has expanded outside of her Country-Rock niche and has now begun a collaboration project with a variety of HipHop artists both in the US and France.
Her latest single, Rise-up features former G-unit rapper Young Buck in a strong and emotional rap-rock crossover. A testament to MPT Agency’s capacity beyond the digital media landscape, Kelly Monrow’s career has reached a new milestone as both a monetizable brand and a powerful voice in the Rock n Roll scene.
