With a team of marketing project managers and top-notch publicists, Clandestine can help with every aspect of marketing for your music project, from planning a perfect rollout to securing media reviews. Our marketing project managers work directly with our label and artist clients, from the planning stage all the way to street date, to facilitate everything from asset management to social media to digital advertising. For publicity, we employ a team of experimental media publicity specialists to build the perfect PR plan with strategic press targeting and messaging to get the best possible editorial results.

With our centralized Cincinnati warehouse, direct-to-fan expertise, extensive direct-to-store network, and partnerships with regional distributors and digital service providers around the world we can help you scale the distribution of your release output from servicing a rabid fanbase to placements in specialty indie stores to product placements in chain stores and store alliances like AIMS and CIMS. Our digital partners have direct access to pitch Spotify, Apple Music and the other DSPs and hold gold-standard service status for the fastest product updates.  We can help you build a distribution plan that works for you and expands the exposure of your products.

Clandestine can help with all your manufacturing needs, from vinyl to cassettes to t-shirts and posters. With decades of experience in custom manufacturing for bands and labels, we can easily facilitate every detail of your project. We maintain a network of vinyl and CD pressing plants, cassette duplication companies, and screen and large format print shops around the globe. Bring us a project ready to go, or work with our design team to bring your ideas to life, and we can take your music from the mixing board to the turntable with expert ease.

Operating out of a ten thousand-square-foot warehouse space in Cincinnati, Ohio, we specialize in physical album warehousing, pick-and-pack, direct-to-fan, and large-volume order fulfillment. If you are an artist or label owner who is just tired or has boxes of unsold records sitting in your basement, or you just want to stop having to make trips to the post, we can help. We can handle order fulfillment for any e-commerce platform you can think of, and with our cloud-based inventory system, we can sync your stock levels across all platforms so you never oversell.

Our experienced label and marketing project managers know how to take a project from finished master to manufacturing submission to marketing launch and street date. With a time-tested cloud-based project management system, we lock in each project with best-practice lead times for distro, pressing, PR, playlist pitching, social media planning, and more. Like having a professional project manager / personal assistant on hand, our project managers have hundreds of album rollouts under their belts and can handle any bottleneck to get your release out smoothly and effectively.

With decades of experience placing music in movies, TV shows, commercials, and video games, our Sync Licensing team can use their expertise to give your music the best possible exposure. Utilizing our extensive network of music supervisors, film producers, and network contacts, we push to get our clients' music heard and considered for every placement brief possible. Our carefully curated catalog is painstakingly ingested and tagged, and we pride ourselves on the highest standards of master and publishing rights management and use clearances.

Too many artists and labels struggle to manage, let alone understand, the intricacies of publishing, performance, and master rights administration. From simply helping artists register with a performance rights organization for the first time to setting up a holistic program of master, publishing, and neighboring rights registration and royalty collections, we seek to help educate our clients and get them set up to collect the most royalties possible.

Many artists and labels start out DIY, but that can only take you so far. Eventually, every artist and label needs a long-term business plan and a team to help them realize their goals. From cash flow forecasting to career planning and resource management we consult with each client about their goals and frictions and can just offer advice or function as your management team. For labels, we can do everything from running your business for you to helping you develop better artist contracts or developing an optimal direct-to-fan and distro strategy. For artists we can help you build a career plan and execute it while making sure you are getting the best deals possible along the way.
