01
ADMINISTRATION
Kick The Flame provides a top notch administration service. We handle the registration of works and rights and the collecting of royalties worldwide. We monitor usages and report with above-average frequency. We supervise the payments of collecting societies and reclaim inconsistent distributions. In short: We make sure that the right owners are paid fully and in time. Kick The Flame is not administered by third entities, unlike so many other independent publishers, hence we are able to commit full manpower directly to the publishing service. We rely on a healthy combination of modern administration tools (some from our own development) and personal know-how, gained in years of experience and networking among our peers. Modern tools still have to be handled with highly skilled craftmanship. This is what we stand for.

SYNCHRONISATION / LICENSING
Kick The Flame is perhaps the only publisher of this size that has its own sales force for sync licenses. Our excellent ratio of manpower to catalogue size enables us to actually know all the music we represent. We maintain a diligently curated and annotated catalogue handled by a team of experts in media music and music supervision. We work with licensees from all fields of media production, including TV broadcasters and music editors of radio stations. Our licensees appreciate our perfectly fitting pitches for their high quality and fast delivery. In addition to our own distribution, we team up with a diversity of international agencies to cover the markets efficiently. We’ve also teamed up with IT experts and universities with whom we are currently developing a pioneering distribution tool that will further complement the license marketing with new approaches to quickly nail the perfect fit in the near future.
