Case Study: Ministry of Sound
Ministry of Sound is the largest independent label in the UK. They approached us to help them secure the same level of success in international markets, primarily through intelligence on localised digital dynamics including the best local distributors and the social media opportunity in each major market.
“Ministry of Sound have already established a hugely successful digital bundles business here in the UK. We reached out to Music Ally to tap into their expertise on digital music sales and distribution across Continental Europe and beyond, given our global brand positioning as an authority on dance music. Music Ally’s insights into the international digital music industry are second to none, and they were able to supply a wealth of recommendations across each key territory, backed up by comprehensive market data. This research has been invaluable in developing our digital business on an international level”
