LOOTERS – Marketing & Media for Loud, Heavy, and Unapologetic Music
Founded in Toronto in 2006, LOOTERS began as a boutique agency fueled by a deep passion for hard music. With a laser focus on just a few artists, we poured everything we had into helping them succeed—and they did.
As the years progressed, so did our vision. We recognized a major gap in the Canadian music industry: heavy genres like metal, punk, and hard rock weren’t getting the media attention or marketing support they deserved. So, we stepped in to change that.
Word spread quickly. Managers and labels saw the results we were delivering and reached out. Our reputation for dedication, creativity, and performance made LOOTERS the go-to team for artists ready to break through. We expanded rapidly—creating unique, results-driven campaigns and providing a much-needed voice for heavy music in the Canadian market.
With the rise of digital platforms and social media, we adapted fast, helping artists build powerful online presences, grow loyal fanbases, and drive engagement across all channels.
Today, LOOTERS is a full-service music marketing and media company offering specialized support in:
-

We’ve helped our clients exceed expectations in record sales, press coverage, and long-term brand growth. What began as a passion project has become a powerful engine driving success for artists across genres.
Post-2020, the industry has changed—and so have we. We continue to innovate and find bold, imaginative ways to connect artists with audiences in an evolving digital landscape. We educate, empower, and support our clients in crafting their strongest story and building real, lasting connections with fans.
