IQ Music
Who? What? How?
IQ Music is a dedicated music rights holding and publishing company operating within the UK music industry. As professional rights holders, we are focused on building and maintaining diverse music portfolios. We aim to maximise the commercial potential of music’s intellectual property (IP) through our industry partnerships.
At our very heart, we are music collectors, but with an added business plan. We work with songwriters, composers, and artists who want their music to have a longer life than just past the initial release. Some tracks deserve to be a soundtrack to a BBC drama. Others might be perfect for that next Netflix series everyone’s about to be talking about.
We’re not the people pitching your music to supervisors, that’s handled elsewhere. We’re the ones who represent it, cultivate it, nurture it, and make sure it’s ready when opportunity knocks.
We’re caretakers of some of the most iconic music ever released.
Our Music Lives Everywhere.
At our core is a music publishing company. IQ Music represents music portfolios that span multiple genres and territories. Our approach to portfolio management is to emphasise a long-term asset development plan and strategic IP positioning within a highly competitive marketplace.
Walk down any high street and you’ll probably hear something from our catalogue. Not because we’re massive, but because we’ve spent years understanding what works, and more importantly, where and when. Our music has ended up in some pretty cool places.
The kind of shows your mum watches on Saturday/Sunday nights. Those streaming series you binge at 2am. Even the occasional Hollywood production that somehow found its way to our little corner of the UK music world.
Expert Music Asset Administration.
IQ Music ensures all holdings are properly registered, protected, and positioned for optimal commercial opportunities through all the correct industry channels.
Why Music Supervisors Know Us
It’s simple, we make their lives easier. When they need something specific, they know our catalogue actually contains what we say it does. No nasty surprises, no rights issues that pop up at the last minute. Just good music, properly sorted.
We have cultivated long-standing relationships throughout the global music industry, including partnerships with major broadcasters, streaming platforms, and media companies. Word of mouth still matters; it carries your reputation, ours has enabled effective placements and licensing of our multiple music portfolios.
We’ve been doing this long enough to know that relationships matter more than databases. The best placements happen when you understand not just what someone needs, but why they need it.
The Boring (But Important) Stuff:
Yes, we handle all the tedious bits too. Rights clearances, territorial issues, that paperwork that makes everyone’s eyes glaze over. But here’s the thing, we actually enjoy it. Someone has to, and it turns out we’re quite good at it as well.
Our catalogues are properly organised, legally bulletproof, and ready for whatever the modern music industry throws at them. Whether that’s a streaming platform in Slovakia or a production company in South Korea. We, have got it covered.
Still here? You’ve done well. As a well established music rights holder, IQ Music brings decades of collective experience in music portfolio management and asset administration. Our understanding of the UK and global publishing ecosystems, has enabled us to create the perfect environment to strategically make decisions, for the optimal exploitation of IP assets.
