ICEX Spain Export and Investment, as part of the Internationalization Plan for Spanish music and within the framework of Sounds from Spain, ICEX is launching this program to strengthen the positioning of music products of Spanish SMEs in the music industry on streaming platforms.
Given the diversity of the Spanish musical offer and the customization required by the marketing strategy for the launching of each musical product, it is considered necessary to develop a tailor-made service for each applicant company.
For the development of this program, it has been necessary to contract a support service for companies to comprehensively address the distribution and advertising process on streaming platforms and other digital media. In this way, ICEX has selected the company La Cúpula Music, a digital distributor of recorded music that offers digital marketing support services.
Applicant companies for the program will be Spanish companies in the music sector, especially Spanish SMEs representing Spanish bands with international potential. To be accepted into the program, applicant companies must submit a new music release (single/s, EP or album) whose international potential is validated by both ICEX and the awarded distributor.
ICEX and the distribution company have established preferential prices for applicant companies interested in participating in the program. The campaign should target international markets and include the following services:
Advertising campaigns on social media platforms and networks should be segmented and targeted to international markets.
Each company may submit to ICEX and the distributor a distribution and campaign budget between 520 and up to 4,000 euros, VAT excluded. The application dates for the program range from April 12 to December 15, 2023.
May be co-financed with European Union funds.
