Welcome
Absolute Marketing & Distribution is a leading provider of tailor-made sales, marketing and business management solutions for independent record labels, single-artist labels and brand-owned music labels.Established in 1998 as Europe's first 'one-stop' label management specialist, London-based Absolute provides everything it takes to run a successful independent record label - from label administration ... to television advertising.
Absolute's unique business model has proved to be the ideal solution for both established artists and developing artists in today's 'long-tail' music market in which artists can accumulate great success across a much broader sales base.
Absolute's impressive client list has included artists such as Melanie C, Dame Shirley Bassey, Herbie Hancock, Marillion, McFly, Emmy The Great, Jay Sean, The Editors, Darren Hayes, Hall & Oates, Boy George, Imogen Heap, Cascada, Master Shortie, Ocean Colour Scene, Ali Campbell, Beverly Knight and many others.
So it's not surprising that Absolute is bucking the music industry trend by achieving significant year-on-year growth while many major companies are struggling to sustain sales and market share.
Absolute can also help non-music brands to release music on their own label - either as a strategic marketing tool or a brand extension. It manages the complete record label framework, so that the brand is not distracted from its core business.
Brands like Specsavers, Pipex Broadband and Halifax (part of the Halifax Bank of Scotland Group) have already enjoyed UK chart success through Absolute.
Whether a music release is on an independent label, a single-artist label or a brand-owned label, Absolute proactively manages all of the key elements required to get the product into the physical and digital marketplace.
Absolute has consistently shown it can achieve this in the same professional and timely manner as any of the major record companies.
But there is one important difference.
When labels are managed by Absolute, ownership of the music copyright always remains in the hands of the label or the artist - so artists always remain in total control of their creativity ... and their own destiny.
