At the dawn of 2020 — when our story begins — artists and their teams were in the dark when it came to finding reliable, good writing for their promotional needs. Journalists did the work from the shadows to avoid apparent conflict of interest, which led to a lot of uncertainty: Who actually does this work? What will they charge? Will I get it on time? Will it even be any good?
We wanted to fix that and wave our hands about it in full daylight: "Here! We do this! Us!" Our solution? Bring those journalists into an agency framework — creating set prices, processes, style guides, and a Rolodex of writers to ensure awesome results every time.
This project was born and raised at Third Bridge Creative. Before going independent, our team racked up some amazing numbers:
1,393 press releases written
722 original bios crafted
105 clients served
As we built trust with our clients, they came to us with additional needs, including multilingual bios, full-website copy, awards speeches, CEO communications, and ridiculously fun design projects. In the summer of 2024, Daylight Services was founded as a dedicated home for this work.

Daylight Services was founded by Chris Martins, who got his start in music journalism — he made magazines (FILTER), ran newsrooms (SPIN), profiled pop stars (Billboard), and blogged from the belly of more than one rave cruise. He'd later nurture his taste for content strategy, client relations, and team management into an obsession as Editorial Director at Third Bridge Creative. There, Chris designed and executed projects for the agency's roster of household names (e.g. Amazon, Apple, Netflix, Spotify, YouTube). When he launched Daylight Services, he brought all of that with him, not to mention the friends (see below) he made along the way.
The Daylight Services family of contributors includes well-known names and behind-the-scenes wizards whose credits stretch across book jackets, ad campaigns, streaming apps, podcasts, albums, movies, and pretty much all the blogs and magazines (the good ones). They are experts in music, film/TV, sports, food/bev, style, and more. They are writers, editors, designers, strategists, and fans. Oh, and they are real people.

Nope! All of the writing we produce is 100% original and A.I.-free.
Some *light* listening
Daylight Services loves music. Maybe you do, too? Here’s a playlist gathering up songs from some of the artists we’ve been working with, either directly or via their teams.
