Example Reports

Report on Playlists Sent to a Specific Company

Use Case: Show all playlists sent to Bank Name

  • This report displays all playlists, tracks, and artists pitched to the specific bank client we added to the tag filter.
Pro tip: Add the yellow "Client" banner while saving playlists that are about to be delivered. This shows your team that the playlist has been sent, and provides a very useful report filter.

  • These reports are especially useful when pitching to many different people or departments at a single company (Netflix, NBC, Fox, Disney, etc.)
  • In this scenario, we've provided a few different searches for a bank.
  • All the playlists are tagged with the bank’s name (indicated by the yellow tag)
  • Note that only three client lists were shared with the bank:
