UK and US indie label bodies to collaborate
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 19 June 2009
The trade bodies that represent the indie label community in the UK and US – AIM and A2IM respectively – have announced a new collaboration which will allow members of one association to access members-only online resources published by the other, the idea being it gives the UK labels access to valuable information about the US market, and vice versa.
Confirming the collab, AIM boss Alison Wenham told CMU: “Knowledge is power in business, and having access to market information and relevant industry contacts is vital. This collaboration between AIM and A2IM will allow members of both to increase their knowledge, contacts and understanding of the market across the pond”.
Rich Bengloff of A2IM, meanwhile, said this: “Generic member education is one of A2IM’s highest priorities to ensure our members operate their companies using the best possible economic plan. The music market is truly a world market and that fact must remain a music label’s focus. We all must remain engaged with all of our international friends and continue to work together, as we will at the World Independent Network think tank in New York City later this month”.
Both groups say they are looking for other opportunities for collaboration, both with each other, and with other indie label trade bodies affiliated to the World Independent Network.
