Description
Album Release Kit (Pro)
Releasing an album involves far more than finishing the music. Planning timelines, social content, visuals, press, and budgets can quickly become overwhelming, especially when you’re doing it independently.
The Album Release Kit (Pro) is a complete planning system designed to bring every part of your album release together in one place. It helps you organise ideas, track progress, and make informed decisions without the last-minute panic that often comes with releases.
This kit is designed to be practical, flexible, and realistic. You do not need to use every tool at once, and you do not need to follow everything perfectly. Use what’s helpful, skip what isn’t, and adapt it to suit your band, your energy, and your release timeline.

How it works
All tools are delivered as interactive, editable files.
Google Docs and Google Sheets files can be copied and edited in your browser or app. Canva templates open directly into your Canva account once copied. The budget calculator is web-based and accessible via link.
