Connecting Artists + Brands — on fair terms

Your audience is an asset. Price it properly.

( Sponsorships · Endorsements · Campaigns · Content )

Brands need culture. Artists have it. We sit in the middle — matching our roster with sponsorships, endorsements and campaign collaborations that fit their identity, then negotiating terms that respect what an engaged audience is actually worth.

01 · Why it works

Good partnerships are matched,
not mass-emailed.

A deal that fits the artist converts for the brand — and a deal that converts for the brand gets renewed. That alignment is the whole craft, and it's where most partnerships fail before they start.

Fit First

We match on audience data and identity, not follower counts — so campaigns feel like culture, not ads, and both sides come back for more.

Audience + identity match

Negotiated Properly

Scope, usage rights, exclusivity and renewals priced by people who do this weekly — so artists never sign away a year of their image for a one-off fee.

Delivered End to End

Briefs, contracts, content production, approvals, posting schedules and reporting — managed by our team so campaigns actually ship on time.

Our position

The right brand deal funds the art. The wrong one becomes the art. We only do the first kind.

Partnerships should buy an artist time, budget and reach — not dictate their output or dilute what made the audience show up. Every deal we bring passes one test first: would the fans respect it?

02 · How it works

From match to renewal,
in four moves.

The same process whether it starts from a brand brief or an artist's audience — and it ends with a report, not a shrug.

01

Match

Brand goals meet artist audience data — demographics, territories, engagement and identity — to find pairings that make sense before money is discussed.

02

Structure

Scope, deliverables, usage rights, exclusivity and fees negotiated and put in writing — clear enough that both sides know exactly what was bought.

03

Deliver

Content produced, approved and shipped on schedule — with our creative team keeping it native to the artist's voice and the brand's brief.

04

Report & renew

Performance reported against the goals set at the start — reach, engagement, conversion — building the case for the next, bigger deal.

03 · What we broker

Every way music
and brands meet.

Six formats we structure regularly — often combined into a single campaign.

Sponsorships

Ongoing brand backing for an artist, a tour, a release cycle or a content series — structured for the long term.

Long-term backing

Endorsements

Product and lifestyle endorsements that fit how the artist already lives — credibility intact, usage rights priced correctly.

Credibility priced in

Branded Content

Short-form video, social series and campaign creative made by our team in the artist's voice — native to the feed it lives on.

Native · Not forced

Music for Campaigns

Original tracks, re-records and licensed catalog for brand campaigns — cleared properly through our publishing team.

Cleared & licensed

Events & Activations

Live performances, launch events and pop-up activations that put the artist and the brand in the same room as the audience.

IRL moments

Launch Collaborations

Partnerships FAQ

Questions artists & brands ask us.

Brand work is matched from our roster, so it starts with being on it — through distribution, label services or management. From there, your audience data and identity go into our matching process, and when a brief fits you, we bring it to you with the terms already vetted.

Send us your brief through the contact page: campaign goals, audience, territories, budget range and timeline. We'll come back with matched artists from the roster, audience data to support the fit, and a proposed structure — usually within a few working days.

It depends on scope: audience size and engagement, deliverables, usage rights, exclusivity and term all move the number. What we guarantee is the structure — every element priced explicitly, so nobody discovers later that a single post quietly included a year of image rights.

No. Matching is opt-in — we bring you deals we think fit, and you decide. Saying no to a mismatch costs you nothing with us; forcing a bad fit would cost the partnership program its credibility, which is worth more than any single fee.

Whatever the contract says — which is exactly why we write it carefully. Usage rights, platforms, territories and duration are defined per deliverable, paid whitelisting is priced separately, and anything outside the agreed scope requires a new agreement.

Yes — often the best deals do. Campaign music, custom tracks and catalog licensing run through our publishing team, so sync fees and backend royalties are handled properly alongside the partnership fee.

Artist or brand — the door is the same. Send us your brief.

Partners on working
with Next.

A few words from the people we work alongside.

Next never made me choose between staying independent and having a real team behind me. My masters are still mine — everything else just got easier.
Mara LuneRecording artist, Cobalt Hour Records
Our sync placement came through their publishing team within a month of signing. That kind of speed usually only happens at the majors.
Priya NandanManager, Nova Isle
Royalty statements used to take weeks to make sense of. With Next, I can see exactly what's owed and where it's coming from, every month.
