How we work together

What Music8 does

  • Agree story planning with your team
  • Interview and write the included features or case studies
  • Provide publishing support within the agreed scope
  • Schedule and distribute agreed priority campaigns
  • Provide reporting and planning/reviews at your plan’s cadence

What you supply

  • Provide a named contact
  • Supply timely, accurate source material, approved images and the necessary permissions
  • Arrange interview access
  • Complete factual checks and approvals as agreed
  • Handle your own routine posting where publishing is self-service

Subscriptions, managed services & bespoke collaborations

Subscriptions

Subscriptions provide profile access, tools or self-service publishing. With Music8 Partner, your authorised team posts its own routine content; Music8 provides the publishing framework and partner support.

Managed services

Managed services mean Music8 carries out agreed work: story planning, interviews and writing, publishing support, priority campaign coordination and reporting within your programme’s scope and allowances.

Bespoke collaborations

Bespoke collaborations may include regional hubs, sector development, onboarding networks and international introductions or representation. Contributions, responsibilities, intended outcomes and scope are agreed separately; these activities are not automatically included in standard annual packages.

One relationship covers the relevant Music8 platforms, selected by editorial relevance and platform fit; no separate subscription is needed for each platform. Directory covers one principal platform.

Reciprocal arrangements may be agreed individually around defined contributions and outcomes.

For a label or artist organisation

A label or artist organisation might prioritise artist and catalogue visibility, interviews and stories, education resources and activity, and industry connections. Together we choose services that follow those objectives: self-service posting, included managed features or agreed priority campaigns. Relationship development is scoped individually.

Basic LivePage — free

A basic organisational presence, subject to relevance

Basic LivePage — free

Music8 aims to provide useful and comprehensive information about the sector, so a Basic LivePage is free for relevant organisations, including education providers, arts bodies and specialist businesses working across music and the performing arts.

A Basic LivePage provides a concise organisational record. It does not include Console users, self-service publishing entitlements, campaign credits, managed support or Partner designation.

  • Organisation name, logo and short description
  • Website, location and relevant categories
  • Presence on one or more relevant Music8 platforms
  • Links to relevant published content

Relevance applies: listings are for organisations genuinely active in music and the performing arts, and all entries are checked before publication. Paid products add managed publishing services, enhanced presence, management tools, websites or self-service publishing.

Directory

An affordable, owned and editable organisational presence

Directory — £240 / HK$2,480 per year

Directory sits between a free Basic LivePage and Music8 Partner. It gives one organisation an enhanced editable profile on one principal Music8 platform, with Console access to keep that profile current.

Included

  • One organisation on one principal Music8 platform
  • Enhanced editable organisational profile and LivePage
  • Logo, images and a fuller description
  • Organisational, contact and website information
  • Relevant categories
  • Music8 Console access to maintain the profile

Not included

  • Content publishing, including news
  • Commissioned editorial features
  • Jobs, events, courses, summer schools or other transactional listings
  • Campaign credits or featured or Partner treatment
  • Analytics, reporting or managed support
  • Partnership status

Directory is not a cheaper version of Partner. For a summer-school provider, it can cover the organisation profile only; course listings and marketing remain a separate paid listing or subscription proposition.

Prices exclude VAT or local taxes where applicable.

04

Music8 Partner: self-service publishing

Your team publishes; Music8 provides the framework and support

Music8 Partner — £960 / HK$9,800 per year

Music8 Partner is a self-service publishing subscription. Your authorised team maintains the organisation’s presence and posts its own relevant content through Console. One relationship covers the relevant Music8 platforms, without separate subscriptions for each platform; placement follows relevance and editorial fit.

  • Enhanced organisation and LivePage presence with Partner designation
  • One partnership and account across all relevant Music8 platforms, with presence and distribution subject to relevance and editorial fit rather than separate platform subscriptions
  • 2 Music8 Console management users
  • Unlimited relevant self-service publishing through normal workflows of news, events, performances, courses, summer schools, masterclasses and CPD, competitions, auditions, scholarships, opportunities and calls, products and services, and similar eligible content
  • Standard presentation and cross-platform distribution where editorially relevant
  • Standard analytics and reporting
  • Partner support
  • No included commissioned editorial features, featured campaign credits or guaranteed social amplification
  • Jobs and managed or featured campaigns available separately at standard or agreed partner rates

LinkedIn is the principal professional social channel for selected institutional and recruitment amplification, but not every item will be promoted. Future Chinese-language capability is developing and may be available through pilots.

Organising one named festival or competition? The Festivals and Competitions Partnership (£480 / HK$4,880 per year, plus applicable taxes) covers its annual programme. Year-round institutions and portfolios of several festivals use Music8 Partner.

05

For choirs and choral organisations

Choirs can establish a free presence through CHORALLY and, as EveryChoir develops, connect their LivePage with events, recruitment, news and other services.

  • Choir LivePages
  • Event publishing
  • Recruitment and audition listings
  • Choir news and announcements
  • Membership and supporter information
  • Integration with the wider Music8 network

Choir Pro (£199 / HK$1,980 per year) adds choir management tools and an enhanced public presence, licensed to the choir itself.

06

Advertise a job

£120 + VAT / HK$1,280 per job listing

Organisations can advertise a vacancy or appointment to specialist music and performing-arts audiences without taking out an annual partnership.

The standard offer includes one listing on the relevant Music8 platform or platforms and one LinkedIn post linking to the vacancy. It does not include repeated posts or guaranteed audience or reach; selected wider editorial or social amplification is separate and available only where explicitly included in a higher-tier partnership.

  • Vacancies and fixed-term roles
  • Senior and artistic appointments
  • Freelance and project engagements
  • Appointment announcements

Listings are created and managed through Music8 Console, with appropriate moderation before publication. Until self-service purchasing is available, our team can arrange job listings directly.

Events & opportunities

Editorial consideration free · managed listing £150 / HK$1,480

Relevant basic events and opportunities may be included at no charge, because Music8 aims to provide useful and comprehensive sector information. The £150 rate applies where an organisation asks Music8 to publish and manage a specific listing.

  • Concerts and participatory events, including Come & Sing days
  • Conferences, festivals and summer schools
  • Courses, programmes and training
  • Scholarships, bursaries, choral and organ awards
  • Young artist programmes, auditions and competitions
  • Calls for applications and calls for scores

Routine factual records follow normal relevance and moderation workflows. Interviews, features and case studies may be edited or reviewed where appropriate.

Category and solus sponsorship

Selected Music8 hubs, guides and specialist content areas are available for exclusive or lead sponsorship.

  • Summer schools
  • Conferences
  • Examinations and assessment
  • Higher education
  • Choral development
  • Music technology
  • Learning and participation
  • Careers and professional development

A category sponsor gains prominent association with a valuable specialist resource, while Music8 retains editorial independence and continues to provide broad and useful coverage. Availability and pricing are provided on request.

Personal or organisational presence?

Individual Pro covers one named professional, including sole traders and people invoicing through their own limited company. Your personal profile may include a trading name and company link.

A freelance conductor invoicing through their own personal company qualifies for Individual Pro. An agency representing multiple conductors uses an organisation plan for its agency identity.

A separate organisation LivePage, publishing identity or team access requires an organisation plan: Directory (£240/year / HK$2,480/year) for profile maintenance only, or Music8 Partner (£960/year / HK$9,800/year) for self-service publishing. Organisation prices exclude VAT or local taxes where applicable.

Pro Manager remains available to professionals managing multiple authorised profiles; an organisation plan covers the separate organisation identity and its publishing or team access.

Offers for association members

Special rates for members of professional associations and membership organisations are available by arrangement.

If you represent an association or membership organisation, talk to Music8 about an offer for your members.
