Explainers
Pro, Partner and sponsorship
Maintain a profile with Directory, use Pro tools, publish your own content with Music8 Partner, or commission Music8 to carry out an agreed managed programme. Sponsorship and other bespoke collaborations have individually agreed scope and pricing.
Compare profile maintenance and self-service publishing separately from managed partnership support. Individual Pro's UK price includes VAT. Other products exclude VAT or local taxes where applicable. Existing signed agreements remain unchanged.
Directory and Pro: paid products
Directory costs £240/year or HK$2,480/year for one organisation on one principal platform. It provides an enhanced editable profile and Console access to maintain that profile only; it is not a publishing product or partnership tier.
Pro products are bought by a person or by an organisation and give access to management tools, an enhanced public presence and additional services. They renew annually.

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.
Sponsorship and bespoke work
Sponsorship sits outside the annual products. It covers larger custom campaigns, sponsored projects, and support for platform or infrastructure work across Music8.
These are scoped and priced case by case, and are usually discussed through a Strategic Partner. Price on application; bespoke scope determines price.
What none of these buy
No Music8 product buys editorial endorsement. Unlimited self-service publishing does not mean unlimited promotion, and social amplification is selective rather than automatic.
Campaign credits are your annual allowance for agreed priority campaigns, such as promoting a major event, recruitment drive or launch. We agree the treatment, timing and channels in advance. Routine publishing does not use this allowance. Editorial decisions remain with Music8.
Rolling outSome Pro tools and partner benefits are being introduced in stages. We will always tell you what is available now and what is still coming before you commit.
Common questions
Where does Directory fit?
Directory is a paid, profile-only organisational product. It adds an editable LivePage and Console access to maintain it, but not publishing rights, campaign benefits or partnership status.
What is the difference between Pro and Partner?
Pro provides tools and enhanced presence. Music8 Partner provides self-service publishing; managed partnerships mean Music8 carries out agreed editorial, publishing and campaign work. Bespoke collaborations are scoped individually.
Can an organisation hold both?
Yes. A choir might hold Choir Pro for its own management and also be a Partner, though most organisations start with one.
Do I need any of these to be listed?
No. A Basic LivePage is free for relevant organisations. Jobs and managed listings are separate paid services without an annual commitment.
Listings & promotionDoes a Partner relationship affect editorial coverage?
No. Editorial decisions are made separately from commercial relationships.
