CI announces deal with Secretly Canadian
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 16 October 2012
UK-based digital distribution company Consolidated Independent has announced a new deal with Secretly Canadian Distribution, the distribution arm of the rather fine American indie Secretly Canadian. The new alliance will see CI provide digital delivery services for SCD’s catalogue of independent labels and artists.
Confirming the deal, Chris Welz, General Manager of SCD, told CMU: “We’re thrilled to bring our labels a wider range of services via CI – who bring a level of access and ease of use to digital delivery that allows SCD a greater focus on our paramount goal: building our label and artist profiles across all retail platforms”.
Meanwhile CI GM Kieron Faller added: “Having courted Secretly Canadian for some time, we’re very pleased to bring them into the CI client community. CI are the clear market leaders in digital delivery for independents, helping them to compete on a level playing field with the majors. In the wake of the Universal-EMI merger this becomes ever more important. Our service allows indies to deliver to at least the same technical quality and speed as the majors, but without having to maintain the infrastructure and know-how on their own”.
