When you hire a marketing firm, PR agency, or even if you are pitching to playlists, they will need a ton of info on you and your project. The goal being "target marketing." So the more info you provide, the higher the success rate will be for your marketing campaign. Since we run targeted ads ourselves for our roster, we know the questions to ask, and like an interview, knowing the questions beforehand always helps. 😉
