Commission a confirmed one-off service or enquire about an agreed campaign. Editorial submissions and annual self-service publishing remain separate.
One-off listings & campaigns
Two services are available where you would rather Music8 did the publishing work, or where a listing needs to be handled properly and promptly.
- Job listing
- £120 + VAT · HK$1,280One vacancy or appointment on the relevant Music8 platform or platforms, plus one LinkedIn post linking to the vacancy.
- Managed event, course or opportunity
- £150 · HK$1,480Where an organisation commissions Music8 to publish and manage a specific listing.
Taxes apply where relevant. The standard job offer includes one LinkedIn post, not repeated posts or guaranteed audience or reach. Wider editorial or social amplification is separate and selective. The managed-listing rate applies when an organisation asks Music8 to publish and manage a specific item. Free editorial consideration can still apply where an item strengthens a Music8 platform.
Other promotion, sponsorship or editorial campaigns have no standard price advertised here: enquire for an agreed scope and quote.
Editorial submissions and basic presence
Music8 platforms exist to give the sector a reliable picture of who is working, what is happening and what is available. That only works if the basic information is open, so a relevant organisation can hold a Basic LivePage at no charge and useful items can be considered through normal editorial workflows.
Directory is a separate paid profile product. Its Console access lets an organisation maintain its own profile, but does not include direct publishing or jobs, events, courses, summer schools or other transactional listings.
- Basic LivePages for relevant organisations
- Events and opportunities that are useful to the audience of a platform
- Scholarships, bursaries and awards
- Auditions, competitions and young artist programmes
- Other information that makes a Music8 platform more useful
Relevance is judged by whether an item is genuinely useful to the audience of the platform. This is not an exhaustive list of categories.
Partner self-service publishing
Music8 Partners can publish a broad range of relevant news, events, performances, courses, summer schools, opportunities, calls, products and services through normal workflows. Ordinary self-service publishing does not use featured campaign credits.
One organisational partnership and account works across relevant Music8 platforms. Content is distributed where editorial relevance and platform fit support it, not automatically everywhere.
A single managed listing (£150) covers one specific event or opportunity, not a whole festival programme. For one named festival or competition, the Festivals and Competitions Partnership (£480 / HK$4,880 per year, plus applicable taxes) lets your team publish the full annual programme through Console.
What paying does not buy
A paid listing is a publishing service. It is not editorial endorsement, and it does not move anything up an editorial page.
Editorial coverage is decided on the interest and quality of the material. Commercial relationships are recorded separately and do not influence those decisions.
Partnership campaign credits can support agreed featured campaign treatment, but do not buy editorial endorsement or placement within independent editorial coverage.
Rolling outSelf-service submission is being introduced in stages across the platforms. Where it is not yet available, listings are set up with the Music8 team.
Common questions
Do I have to pay to be listed?
No. A Basic LivePage is free for a relevant organisation, and useful editorial submissions may be considered without charge. Payment applies when you commission Music8 to publish and manage a specific job, event, course or opportunity.
What does the managed-listing service include?
Music8 prepares, publishes and manages the listing on the relevant platform or platforms for its lifetime, subject to editorial relevance and platform fit.
Does paying change how the item is treated editorially?
No. A paid listing is a publishing service. It does not buy editorial endorsement or priority editorial treatment.
Will Music8 check my details for me?
Routine factual records are published as supplied, so please keep them accurate. Editorial content such as interviews and features may be edited or reviewed where appropriate.
