OUR
SERVICES
Our services
Management
of Master Rights
The sound recording copyright owners receive rights known as Neighboring Rights. These
rights are collected via different collecting societies throughout the world. Altafonte works
with the collecting societies in each country to process the collection of royalties for
producers who seek this service.
Management of
Publishing Rights
Altafonte’s publishing department manages the publishing catalogues of our clients in
the territories of Spain and Latin America. Altafonte’s work and monitoring will increase
the amount of royalties collected for the original publisher, but will also be essential to the
protection of musical works, all the while maintaining Altafonte’s business philosophy:
service, transparency and working together.
Synchronization
Licenses
For the use of a musical work, the permission of the producer and the publisher or author is
required. Here at Altafonte we take charge of the commercial work related to sync licenses,
including presenting the content provided to us by producers and artists to different music
users in mediums such as advertising, film, television, radio, audiovisual platforms, etc.

HOW
WE WORK
How we work
Management &
Payment of Royalties
Providing our creators and artists detailed information with transparency and clarity is a
necessity for all record labels and professional producers. In understanding this need, as
well as the complex processes involved, we have implemented an online system that grants
personalized access to each artist to their sales and content usage data. Altafonte pays you
monthly the revenue generated by your music.
Payments & Finances
Artists and record labels have access to an online control panel where we provide detailed
and up-to-date information on content usage and revenue provided by the platforms we
work with. As soon as the platforms report the download, streaming, video, etc. data, we
process and organize the information into comprehensive, rigorously detailed monthly
revenue statements.
Continuous Learning
In conjunction with digital stores and platforms, we are constantly testing, analyzing and
innovating in all areas – from the technological to the strategic to commercial. This allows
us to constantly have a finger on the pulse of the digital market, in order to best inform our
clients/partners via the E-Commerce conferences we periodically organize in our territories,
as well as via other mediums of communication (social networks, newsletters, etc.).

As a technology company that develops its own online management systems, we
offer advanced, reliable technical solutions and sales reports, all with a structured
but user-friendly interface.

with the record labels, producers and artists we work with, and offer close, personalized
service that considers and addresses the needs of each individual. We’re a responsible,

Marketing
& Promotion
We work intensively to offer digital marketing services through the platforms in which we
market audiovisual content: specific commercial actions, features and promotions in the
leading digital platforms, banners, publicity campaigns, audience growth on social networks
and the many more possibilities the digital world offers.
Altafonte Back Office
The record labels and artists that work with Altafonte have at their disposal a personalized
online control panel with which they can monitor everything that happens with their content in
real time: platforms where their contents are available, revenue per platform and country,
or the exact number of plays per album, song, artist or record label.
We are the leading independent digital distributor in Iberia and Latin America, with
agreements and alliances with prominent music labels and producers, distributors,
management agencies, communication offices, as well as big concert and festival promoters
and collecting societies. We are also members of the leading international associations such
