We’ve Launched A Brand New Publishing Company: MRC Publishing
We’re excited to announce the launch of MRC Publishing, a dedicated music publishing company created to support songwriters, publishers and rights holders in managing, protecting and maximising their publishing income.
The launch marks an exciting chapter for The Music Royalty Co., building on our existing expertise in royalty management and accountancy and expanding our specialist support across the music industry.
Songwriters supported. Rights protected. Royalties collected.
Built around the promise of songwriters supported, rights protected, royalties collected, MRC Publishing will provide clients with expert support across copyright and rights management, royalty collections and distributions, income tracking, and sync licensing and pitching services.
The new company marks the next chapter for The Music Royalty Co., expanding our specialist music industry services to offer publishing deals alongside our established royalty management and accountancy expertise.
Helping you get more from your catalogue
As publishing income becomes increasingly complex – spanning multiple territories, collection societies and digital platforms, many rights holders face challenges in tracking and collecting the royalties they’re entitled to. MRC Publishing has been created to help simplify that process, giving clients greater visibility, confidence and control over their publishing rights.
As Andy Hegarty, Director of MRC Publishing, explains:
“We’re incredibly excited to be launching MRC Publishing, giving songwriters and publishers comfort that their catalogues are being represented in the best way possible. From our vast experience and knowledge of publishing administration and licensing, our aim is for songwriters to be able to focus on creating great music knowing that their work is being properly registered, tracked, pitched and paid. In our short time operating we have already managed to unlock value for our current roster’s catalogue, and we can’t wait to welcome more songwriters and publishers onboard to join us on this exciting journey.”
Building on our experience
The launch of MRC Publishing brings another specialist service into the MRC family, strengthening our ability to support clients across the financial and rights management side of the music industry.
MRC Publishing builds on that experience, bringing together specialist knowledge across royalties, publishing administration, licensing and music industry finance.
