The Label Philosophy
Cri Du Chat Disques is a town, not made of stones and metal, but made of the thoughts of its listeners. Cri Du Chat Disques therefore is something mystical; it is timeless and keeps up a constant flow. It is a town built by thoughts, where the inhabitants and their positions are indeterminate, as new dimensions are developing constantly and changes are taking place.
ADVANCED MUSIC – Movies and music anywhere, anytime …
The team of ADVANCED MUSIC with offices in Berlin, Frankfurt, and London stands for the successful combination of physical and digital sales of media content of all kinds. At the end of 2017, ADVANCED MUSIC acquired a large number of brands, master rights and film rights so today more than 17,500 music titles and 400 motion pictures are in the ADVANCED MUSIC catalog. In addition, ADVANCED MUSIC markets more than 25,000 image rights.
The team at ADVANCED MUSIC focused on the digital marketing of music from the beginning and was able to gather so much know-how, which is now also being used in the film marketing. The focus is on the worldwide “intermedial marketing”, the coordinated and interlinked marketing of films (festival, cinema, TV placement, non-commercial channels, Blu-Ray, DVD and VoD) or music (live, radio, CD, vinyl, mp3 and streaming). ADVANCED MUSIC also offers concepts and “Special Marketing” products together with third parties and operates its own theatrical distribution.
Our business areas: movies, theatrical distribution, music, pictures.
ADVANCED MUSIC runs established music labels like Intergroove, OFFbeat, Killa Beat, Museum Obscuro, Musica Celestia, Tropic Records, and released tracks and songs from hundreds of artists from the likes of Gui Boratto, Whebba, Vanni, Channel X, Oliver Koletzki. Besides variable marketing and promotion strategies for different bands and artists, each label works on its own under the administration umbrella of ADVANCED MUSIC. Several A&Rs and product managers are responsible for the bands and artists with their releases on the fitting labels, depending on the style of the music.
In the movie department, ADVANCED MUSIC operates successful film labels such and prosecute an own theatrical distribution incl. booking and billing to the cinemas. Starting with the release concept of a movie, including detailed marketing plans via budgeting and coordinating all promotion activities up to checking all possibilities of distribution funding and organizing the delivery process to cinemas, the whole process of releasing a film lies in one hand, and thus guarantees perfectly coordinated timing and the best possible marketing within the many exploitation possibilities that the movie business offers. The main difference between this concept of “intermedial marketing” and the currently applied approaches to commercial exploitation of media is not only the closer linkage between the different marketing possibilities – it rather starts at the very beginning with a special approach to the movie itself, and it ends after a development process with individual strategies, which have no restrictions by predetermined priorities in marketing whatsoever.
Movies and music anywhere, anytime …
