Music Management for Artists Who Have Outgrown Going It Alone
IQ Artist Management works with musicians who have already built something worth protecting. The services we offer cover the full range of what a working artist really needs: career planning, publishing and royalty collection, sync licensing, live and touring support, advanced music marketing, and brand partnerships. One relationship, no handoffs to juniors, and no being passed around between departments.
We free your mind to create. The business side of being an artist can be a distraction from your career, however, it is your career. Contracts that tie you in for years, royalties that never quite add up, tour logistics handled badly, sync deals that end up going nowhere. Getting this wrong costs money and time. Most management companies handle a portion of the work. IQ handles all of it.
What Our Services Cover
Why Artists Choose IQ
The most direct answer is this: you deal with one person throughout, and that person is responsible for every part of the work. No juniors handling your day-to-day. No account managers who were not in the room when the strategy was set. The manager pitching your music for sync is the same person who negotiated your contract, planned your tour, and knows what you have coming up next.
Most management companies specialise by genre or by a narrow set of services. IQ does not restrict the roster by genre, and the services we offer run from catalogue rights and publishing through IQ Music to live, sync, marketing, and brand work. That breadth matters when opportunities cross between areas, which they do more often than people expect. Sync is a good example of where that breadth pays off. Getting music placed with the BBC, ITV, or Netflix takes working relationships with specific commissioning editors and music supervisors. That is what active management across every part of an artist’s work actually makes possible.
How the Relationship Works
There is no standard onboarding template. Every artist who works with IQ starts with a proper conversation about where they are, what they need, and what the next two or three years should look like. From that, a clear picture emerges of what management actually needs to be doing. Not a generic list of services, but a specific set of priorities for that artist at that point in their career.
The ongoing relationship is direct. If something needs answering, you get an answer from the person best placed to give it. Specialist areas, social media, research, and technical work, are handled by trusted people with genuine expertise in those areas. You will know who they are and what they do. No being passed to someone you have never heard from before and told they are dealing with it now.
