WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING ABOUT MILESTONE


I’ve worked with a lot of publicity companies over the years and Milestone is far and beyond the best. I couldn’t be happier with the coverage, the communication and the attention to detail. They are a significant factor in our overall mission to put great art into the world in the most effective ways possible.
— Tommy Hubbard (Manager for Shaylen, Two Hats Management)

Not only goes after the press ‘big dogs’ but scours for coverage that many others overlook. Milestone understands this is a multiple impression business.
— Gil Gastelum, (Manager, Founder of Cosmica Artists)

Super stoked on all the looks and placements we got over these last few months! Has been so great working with you all. Hope to work with you again soon!
— Whitney Fenimore (artist)

Milestone publicity really cares. They not only arranged amazing press coverage for our Troubadour show, they got our recent song premiered in Rolling Stone Magazine! Incredibly grateful to be working with them!
— Dan Bell, (Manager, Love Ghost)

Mike and the rest of the Milestone crew were a joy to work with on my latest release. They got excellent looks for the album and worked very hard for us.
— Matt Vinson (The Wonderfool / CAAMP)

As an artist, there’s nothing more gratifying than having someone believe in you. From the start of our relationship, Mike made it clear that not only did he enjoy my music, but actually wanted to support me. Milestone did just that, and was able to secure thoughtful interviews and reviews from quality publications. Couldn’t ask for a better publicist!
— Theo Kandel (Artist)

Mike is a crucial member of our team. He consistently goes above and beyond the call of duty and consistently brings great vision, detail, understanding of the artist/project, and execution to our rollouts. The results speak for themselves and we absolutely love working with Milestone.
— Josh Rothstein (Founder, Ice Cream For Dinner)

Mike and the team at Milestone have done an amazing job helping us build our brand and our digital footprint. The opportunities they have secured for us have been super helpful for our growth. We will definitely be using them moving forward for all our PR needs!
— Chris Bragg (Founder/CEO, Ghostwriter Music)

We have been working with Mike and the team at Milestone for about a month now and we have been thoroughly impressed with the passion, commitment and vision that has gone into growing our business. They’re just as eager to grow my business as I am. Communication has been outstanding and we see them as a valuable asset to Songbird City.
— Sarah Moseley (Founder, Songbird City)

Mike has been willing and enthusiastic from the start. He has a unique ability to adapt to any situation and take his skills out of music into other arenas. He always presents a broad number of opportunities despite short timelines. Appreciate you working efficiently and getting us success and results. Thank you, Mike. Look forward to using you on future clients!
— Ingrid Clarke (Velvet Hammer Management Group)

As a writer and music journalist I’ve had the pleasure of working with Mike on a variety of projects over the years. In every case I’ve found him to be one of of the best and most attentive publicists in the industry. Mike’s attention to detail combined with a clear vision of his client’s goals and his friendly demeanor are just a few of the reasons why he’s been so successful. He’s results-oriented, professional, has great communication skills and bridges the gap between artist and journalist in a way that’s second to none. I look forward to continuing our relationship with his new company, Milestone Publicity.
— James Wood (Guitar World)

There are a lot of publicists in the music world, but not that many who are fun to work with, passionate about their projects, and good at what they do. Mike checks all of those boxes which is why he is on the short list of referrals that I’m happy to give to artists. And it’s a very short list.
— Kelly McCartney (Editor, Journalist, Host of Apple Music's "Southern Craft" Radio)

If this were a ‘Yelp’ review, I’d give Milestone Publicity and Mike Gowen 5 Stars. I’ve been fortunate enough to work with Mike at both his old PR firm and now Milestone, and I can say with 100% confidence that Mike continues to achieve quality results. His ability to read the ever changing press landscape has been extremely helpful in achieving our press goals and growing the band’s fanbase. A great communicator, easy to work with, and on top of everything- I can’t say enough good things about my experience with MIke Gowen and Milestone PR.
— Dylan Sklare (artist manager, métier management)

When you hire a publicist, their worth is measured in only one way:  results!  I’ve worked with Mike Gowen for a number of my clients and results are exactly what we get - TV, audio and video premieres, wide-reaching press releases, and special consideration that only a connected, experienced publicist can negotiate and secure. Mike is my ‘go-to’ guy for publicity.  He should be yours too.
— Gina Mendello (Artist Manager, Owner - CPR Entertainment)

When it comes to working with other professionals in the music industry, we look for professionals and companies who possess the same ‘artist first’ centric mentality that we practice at MVK Music Group. Mike and his team at MIlestone are a great example of just that...true professionals who care about the artist and bring a level of enthusiasm and passion to bringing publicity to each artist. When we partnered with Mike to handle the EP release for our country artist Cody Weaver, Mike exceeded our expectations with constant communication and a hard work ethic in landing great publicity in such outlets as American Songwriter and The Boot, among others. If you are looking for a publicist whom you can trust and will get the job done, look no further, Mike is your guy!
— Brian Paul (Co-Owner / Founder of MVK Music Group)

Milestone genuinely cares about getting good music heard and as a new artist stepping into the world of PR Mike is like a lighthouse beacon getting you where you need to go! Our conversations left me energized and excited. Our campaigns built an impressively solid foundation launching my music out of obscurity and into the likes of Billboard Magazine, American Songwriter and onto National Television! Milestone is an absolute gem.
— Callie McCullough (Artist)

Mike Gowen is a champion of others. Aside from doing everything he says he is going to do, his ideas were key in rolling out solid PR for our releases (Rolling Stone ‘top 10 Country Songs,’ single premieres, etc.). It’s not everyday that you find relationships where you feel energized after every conversation. Our career is growing in many ways because of Mike’s passion and belief. When he believes in you, your outlook changes and affects other parts of your career. We can’t thank you enough, Milestone Publicity, for your support from Day One.
— The Dryes (Artist)

Mike at Milestone has been easy to work with and perceptive of how I want to be branded as an artist. Not only has he secured some great press opportunities, but my campaigns are perfectly tailored to achieve my specific goals.
— Ben Sparaco (Artist)

Honestly, I was not fully aware of what a music publicist did. I had an idea of what the job description was, but my knowledge only scratched the surface of the importance of having a music publicist on your team. Mike was gracious enough to share the scope of his work, leave time to consider, and then send a detailed outlook of what he would do along with projected outcomes of the relationship. Mike has gone above and beyond what I expected and has helped us further our career. Not only will we continue to use Milestone Publicity and Mike, but we see it now as an integral part of our success.
— VOTH (Artist)

When it comes to generating publicity and promoting up-and-coming and established artists, Mike Gowen is second to none. After taking an almost 10 year hiatus in my music career, Mike was able to secure quality press for my new record, including a write-up in American Songwriter, a video debut on Ditty TV and online takeovers with The Boot, Nashville Noise and Americana Highways. Mike is a no BS guy who means what he says and says what he means. And, Mike is a joy to work with. To sum up in two words, ‘Mike Delivers.’
— Chad Harvey (Artist)
