Crisis hits
recording industry, or perhaps it is only reaching a kind of new
era with new rules. Anyway, in such conditions, seting up projects
and leading them to success is harder and harder. A&R, marketing,
PR, logistics, distribution : any link of this long chain breaking
leads to failure.
MARTINGALE's
role is to act within a full and complete strategy, whatever the
mission : we want to understand the whole chain in order to work
with consistency, and with respect of the artists' identities. We
can provide several different services :
- Marketing
consulting and coordination : managing a whole project
by assisting or replacing a label manager, especially if a large
number of different people and organisations are implied.
- Management
: managing an artist's carrer for every activity or just a specific
project
- Public
Relations : seting up a PR strategy and its tools, keeping
in touch with the right medias.
- In-store
promotion and distribution management : trying to get
the best from a distributor or completing its job by a strong
involvement in stores.
- Other
services : recording / licensing / distribution / partnership
deals seeking, websites and promotional tools, assistance to indie
or DIY projects...
Nevertheless,
we got 2 important rules :
- we will never take a project when our other activities (services
and label) do not leave enough time to involve they way we should
in a project
- inking a contract only if we believe in the project.

The hard and true story of the Impala and the four lions
European justice
decision to deny authorization given by Brussels for Sony and
BMG to merge was announced during summer. It was a surprise for
me. And for them too. But I do not really believe this new major
company will split again into 2 smaller ones. Perhaps Sony-BMG
will have to enter negotiation with EU and perhaps sell out something
(a label ? publishing dept ?). But first real consequence was
then to stop growing trends leading Warner and EMI to make offers
and offers to buy each others. European association of indie labels
IMPALA can fairly be seen as main originator of this decision
: now they claim it as a victory. I have to say I am not sure
I agree with them.
