SERVICES PROVIDED TOWARD MUSIC BUSINESS AND RECORDING INDUSTRY



CLICK HERE TO CHECK OUR PROMOTION PROJECTS


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.
