After being acquired by SESAC Music Group in March of this year, New York-based content management, analytics, delivery and distribution tech provider AudioSalad has teamed up with Redeye Worldwide, a North Carolina-based distribution and music services company.
Under their partnership, AudioSalad will help enhance Redeye’s global digital delivery and technical services by leveraging AudioSalad’s digital delivery and analytics services, while integrating Redeye’s proprietary platforms.
Redeye’s clients include the likes of Beggars Group, Domino Records, New West Records, and Yep Roc Records, among others.
With offices located in major cities such as London, Berlin, Toronto, and Sydney, Redeye provides international distribution, marketing, and label service needs for its clients.
In late 2019, Redeye bought Sweden-based music distribution company Border Music, further expanding its presence.
“We are absolutely thrilled that Redeye has entrusted AudioSalad to be a core component of their digital operations. Redeye has rightfully earned a strong reputation within the independent sector as a preeminent global music company and as their digital distribution arm continues to grow, this partnership will bolster their value proposition and technical aptitude,” said AudioSalad’s Head of Business Development, Patrick Ferrell.
