Exploring the challenges the music industry faces in leveraging historic catalogue music.
Research & development
We are committed to a process of proactive R&D which seeks to explore and address the challenges the music industry faces in leveraging historic catalogue music.
Through bespoke projects, our client work and collaborations with our partners and friends in music, we aim to set standards for how iconic artists engage, grow and monetise their audiences.
Our clients benefit directly from these projects and our ethos to ask questions and push our industry forward.
Get involved
We are building a network of music industry professionals who work in, with and around catalogue music and iconic artists in order to help guide and inform our innovation work.
If you would like to discuss what we are doing, what you do or anything else, please do get in touch. We’d love to hear from you.
