Project Management

As the music industry evolves, management companies are taking on more and more tasks for their artists. With that, the need to be agile and on the ball is greater than ever.

Managers and artists are creative visionaries who are always looking for the next big move. They should not have to be bogged down by the minutiae of day-to-day operations or chase teams to ensure plans are executed.

Positive Subversion is a GM, an assistant, and rolodex all rolled into one. With great communication skills and a solution-based outlook, we have the necessary knowhow to build and run a team of professionals and drive successful international campaigns.

How We Work

Our goal is to help artists retain control over their creative output by offering support in the day-to-day management of campaigns and projects, making it possible for you to focus on the bigger picture while we take care of the details and empowering you to make the right decisions to achieve success.

We connect the dots between all aspects of an artist’s career, whether it be keeping DSPs up to date on all developments to launching new product lines, creating a full representation of your artist’s revenue streams, gathering assets for campaigns to stock management.
Wherever you need support, you will have our resources at your fingertips.
