An alternative to the traditional model
Mockingbird Lab combines commissioned music production, central management and professional playback as an alternative to the traditional model of using commercial music.
Commissioned production, automated schedules and central management provide better control over music programming and operating costs.
With the appropriate rights and usage arrangements in place, this approach may enable significant savings, including the reduction or absence of certain fees payable to collective management organisations.We prepare a specific proposal and a comparison of total costs for your business based on the number of locations, production scope and terms of use.
