Music marketing consultancy Remote Control - who specialise in promoting independent labels from overseas to UK music fans - has announced a partnership with Pinnacle distribution which will offer independents and unsigned artists a wide ranging facility to help them get their releases to market - incorporating both marketing and distribution.
Announcing the new partnership Remote Control's Pat Carr told CMU: "Since we were established three years ago, we have been able to expand the label management and marketing side of the business but we were repeatedly being asked by independent labels about distribution as many wanted an umbrella company who could handle everything, like the majors, but which was able to offer the day to day attention to detail and time that a smaller operator could give. The new deal with Pinnacle will allow independents the perfect platform to germinate and nurture new and upcoming talent."
Susan Rush from Pinnacle added: "It's an ideal arrangement for us. Remote Control's experience and management of a label's marketing and distribution is very attractive to us because it's not always possible for labels to give sufficient focus to the UK market. Remote Control knows how the UK market works and that will help us and the label enormously."
