About Premierely and why it exists

Hi, Gino here - founder of Premierely. Premierely is a premiere booking system for music curators, and I built it to solve my own problem because I hated the manual steps involved in running a premiere series.

I automated what I could, and it still cost me three to four hours a week.

A form on the site collected the title, the description, the artwork and the audio, then pushed the track up as a private upload, and a booking link let the artist pick the slot. Two saved replies handled the yes and the no, though I still checked the artist's first name by hand every time, because the automatic one was wrong often enough to matter.

The saved replies I answered requests with. The name placeholder at the front is the part I checked by hand.
The old Märked premiere submission form, asking for name, email and label The old booking screen where an artist picked a premiere date from a calendar
The old submission form and the booking screen it handed off to. Two separate tools, stitched together with an email in between.

Everything after that was me. Fixing the title into the format the channel uses, rewriting the permalink so it reads properly in search, cutting the leftover form text out of the description, downloading the audio before the transfer link expired, swapping the file, then adding the track to the premiere playlist. That came to ten to twenty minutes per submission, and across thirty-ish submissions a month it added up to three to four hours every week.

The upload the form left behind. Every red arrow is a step I did by hand, on every premiere.

So I built the booking system I wanted to run my label Märked on.

The artist picks the service and pays on the channel's own booking page, so the details arrive with the request instead of three emails later.

Every request then lands in one queue. One approval schedules the premiere and publishes it to every channel you run. Admin per premiere went from ten to twenty minutes down to under a minute.

One queue, one decision per request. Approve or reject, and the rest runs on its own.

Other channel owners now run their premieres and reposts on it.

What started as Märked's internal tool is the booking system other curators run on, whether they charge for premieres or run them free. I still run Märked on it every week, which is the only reason I trust it with anyone else's channel.
