We are the only female owned A&R research company in the industry developing new reporting and untapped research methods combined with trained human scouts and content creators.
Our A&R reports are highly curated and presented in a unique combination of video and supporting research content. We distribute these updates about our discoveries and developing roster in a variety of methods.
Research to power marketing and growth
Over two years, we have been curating a deep set of the most valuable resources to support development and marketing needs for our Designer Distribution roster. We have a growing source list that includes services and creative support in the “top needs” categories for most creatives.
We develop industry leading research reports capturing interesting, untapped data that no other company is delivering in this space, and utilize it as part of our marketing strategy. Most of our research reports are ongoing and are constantly updated. These are a few of our most useful reports:
100 Cities Micro-Influencers in Music, Lifestyle, and Culture Community
GREATERTHAN ICON Cards: Recognizing Rising Creative Professionals in Music
The Global List of Schools with Music Business, Entrepreneurship, Media and Technology Programs
Trend Tracker + Weekly Soundbite
Ongoing research that shows what is viral, trending, and popular across social media platforms. Main focus categories like viral dances, viral artists, or trending/viral/popular creative concepts, cool products and brands, along with other interest categories including upcoming festivals or industry-related content will help inspire your marketing content to tap into trends capturing audience attention.
We are a community-driven music + culture + creative company exploring big ideas in combining A&R Research, A&R Innovation and discovery, with designer distribution in Web3.
