Kollector, music industry

Midemlab, an international pitching competition of innovative startups working in the music industry, as listed its 30 finalists and KOLLECTOR is being nominated in the "Marketing And Social Engagement" category. We will pitch and demonstrate at Midem (january 2013) how Kollector can help everyone in the music industry.
What we do ? We're trackings down radio broadcasts in REALTIME and WORLDWIDE.

For all those involved in releasing music, information is power. You gotta know where, when and by whom your records are being played.

This intel is already not easy to access on a national basis and we can help there. But if you want to get accesss to that information on an international basis, you are up for a big challenge. But we can help there too: we're listening to thousands of radios worldwide and we add radios stations on a weekly basis.

There are many useful and business savvy things you can do with this information:

Now, at last, you can:

Estimate your royalties: you can have an overall view on the finances that will come down from radio broadcasts.
Follow up on your promo campaigns: no more...

Kollector, music industry

Let me tell you some about Kollector : it was actually started by two rights owners wanted to have a clearer picture of what their catalog was doing abroad.
Basically, for a very low price affordable to all in the music community, Kollector offers an incredible service: a worldwide realtime radiobroadcast tracking application meaning it scans the radios on the planet and detect when your songs are being played.
It can tell you, with real factual data, where (country, name of the radio) and when (date and hour) a song was played on radios.

These very valuable datas enable you to have access to:
- Realtime worldwide statistics giving you a precise and accurate view of your radio broadcasts.
- First hand transparent factual data to help you and your publisher/your collecting society to forecast airplay royalties.
- Time saving application optimizing the management of your audio works.
- Data you can share with your partners to overview in realtime and nationally/internationally your promo campaigns .
- Comparative watch to ensure new territories and markets.

One amazing plus is that Kollector opens up cultural diversity for...

Kollector, music history, radios

"Dancing Queen", a disco hit dating back from august 1976 from superstar swedish band Abba, is still rising high on the radios playlists. We introduced the song in Kollector and let a few days pass, just to see how a 35 years old back catalogue song would do. And surprise, surprise, there's still life in the old dog ;)

In the last month, "Dancing Queen" has enjoyed no less than 1200 radio airplays and it still hold on very well on radios as its been favored especially in (by order of airplays received) Germany (158 trackings), United Kingdom (154 trackings) followed closely by France, Canada and The Netherlands. To give an idea of the performance, Swedish House Mafia's "Save The World" has enjoyed"only" 4 times more airplays during the same period, which shows how resilient and still royalties wise important "Dancing Queen" is !

Kollector can help all in the music community. You betcha it can!

Kollector, radios

As you may know, Kollector can track songs all over the world, in realtime, and in all transparency. And in fact, Kollector gets even more interesting when it's about to gather international datas on your airplays: realtime numbers of your airplay is very, very hard to get and very expensive (that is if you DON'T use Kollector as Kollector is very reasonably priced and available to ALL in the music community), and international numbers are night on impossible. Not with Kollector...

Diego Torres, huge argentinian star, has his latest hit-song "Color Esperanza" (his video has enjoyed more than 4 million views on Youtube...) appearing on quite a few different countries, from Spain to Mexico, Chile or Argentina on the Kollector dashboard. Kollector can even tell you that, at the time I write this report, the latest radio to play the song was Kiss Fm, in Malaga (Spain), at 21:55 local time. And the most dedicated radio to play Diego Torres's tune was Cadena Dial Andalucia Este, in Spain too. With Kollector, you know how many times the song was played, where, when and how it fares out in the weeks since it's been in the system...

How is that for gathering factual...

Kollector

We have installed a live demo of Kollector : you can simply log in and watch in realtime the latest radiobroadcasts of about 20 songs we are tracking with Kollector.

We uploaded Move Like Jagger on the 6th and it has since then enjoyed 1880 radio trackings and that song was played 686 times in the latest 24 hours alone! It was played 234 times in Germany alone and, mind you, 16 times in Brazil and South Africa.

That's a lot of good promo to follow up on, tours to put together and royalties to track down indeed. And they may even want to know what other songs from the album would work by uploading that record in Kollector and have a global view on what's been playing most by the radios and in which countries. They may even decide to push up some more promo in some countries if they see the song bubbles up but doesn't quite make it yet...

I can write for sure what were the last songs (we follow) played:

1 09-09-2011 @ 7:59:51 Ya! Fm , La Radio Impactante Mexico Maroon 5 - Move Like Jagger
2 09-09-2011 @ 7:58:26 Radio Top 40 Germany Maroon 5 - Move Like Jagger
3 09-09-2011 @ 7:57:55 CIHT Hot...
