From your point of view, what is the biggest challenge facing independent music publishers?

Independent music publishers often struggle with the volume of datasets related to catalogue and sales information, which can overwhelm their resources and hinder effective management. Implementing robust data-driven solutions can help streamline this process, ensuring accurate tracking and timely insights that help drive better decision-making and revenue optimisation.

What is the biggest opportunity?

The biggest opportunity for independent music publishers lies in analysing, identifying and capitalising on untapped income streams. By leveraging advanced analytics and exploring new platforms and licensing avenues, publishers can discover hidden revenue potential and enhance profitability beyond traditional streams.
