Our Services

(A)  ARTIST PAGE: • The company will build a fully functional “artist page  for the owner, on the company web site. This is  for the owners’ search  engine optimization, driving Rite 1’s traffic to the owners’ platforms  and showing  the industry and fans that the owner is represented in the  industry.    

(B)  SOCIAL MEDIA: • The company will provide regular social media sharing  and support from our entire team. In addition,  our social media person  will be providing connections, instruction and cross-marketing  opportunities  throughout our social eco-system. During radio, video or  press releases,  our team will provide constant  organic sharing and marketing for the duration of the release.    

(C)  DISTRIBUTION: • The owner has the choice of music distribution through  our agreements with SONY / ORCHARD or  Ingrooves a label that is owned  by Universal Music Group. The owner has the choice of music.. 

The  owner  may choose to remain with their own independent distribution including  Distrokid, Tunecore or  others, as Rite 1 is a non-exclusive entity.  

Distribution with Rite 1 is for music that has not previously  been released. 

If Rite 1 distribution is used, sales reports will be sent quarterly.

(D)  MARKETING: • Marketing at Rite 1 is considered a team effort. Our goal  is to expand not only the owners’ fan-base,  but the connections  regionally, nationally and internationally. Connections and “who you  know” are  paramount in the music industry. To do this, Rite 1 has many  functions at its disposal. Organic  marketing associated with the  release of a single, video, tour or news story are the springboard to   launch marketing campaigns. These campaigns are planned in advance  usually 4-6 weeks or more. The  duration that they last are discussed  beforehand according to the needs of the owner. In addition to organic  marketing, Rite 1 has connections and partners that specialize in  promotion in all platforms,  from basic ones like FACEBOOK, YOUTUBE,  SOUNDCLOUD and ITUNES, right on up to BILLBOARD  MAGAZINE and the  JUNO’S, GRAMMY’S and more. Each release will be planned meticulously and  to fit  the needs of the owner and the specific genre of the music. 

(E)  BOOKING AGENTS: • Rite 1 has multiple booking agents regionally, nationally 

and internationally to book shows and tours  according to the  needs of the owner. 

A 15-20% commission is the usual rate that the  agents will charge  for shows that 

they book for the owner. The owner  has no obligation to pay commission on shows NOT obtained by Rite 1 or  its affiliates. Tours can be booked through Rite 1 affiliate agents, but  most agents  charge a booking fee or retainer for tours depending on  how many shows and the size and scope of the  shows. 

That is between the  owner and the agent to negotiate directly. 

(F)  RADIO AIRPLAY: • The company will provide up to 3 radio releases per  year, accompanied by a press- release, in-house  video teaser for  Youtube and marketing. Release dates are based upon the owner’s  timetable. The  company will provide interviews on radio stations,  podcasts/blogs, magazines and newspapers  throughout the duration of the  releases. Rite 1 radio partners are also well-engaged to provide social   media help and promotion alongside each release. In addition, Rite 1  has partnerships with digital  promotion companies that will aide in  building the organic “numbers and engagement” on the owners’  social  media platforms including but not limited to Facebook, Youtube,  Soundcloud and Spotify. 

The size  and scope of these releases can also  be expanded according to the owners’ parameters. It is  recommended that  the owner provide Rite 1 with an up-to-date Electronic Press Kit for  promotion  purposes. If the owner needs a press kit created, the Rite  1’s team can recommend free web sites for  this or help create one. 

(G)  MERCH STORE: (Optional) • The owner has the option of using your own  merch store, or one that is created and administrated by  the company.  If the owner wishes to use your own merch store, that link can be  provided to Rite 1 to  help promote it. If the owner wishes to have Rite  1 create and administrate a merch store for you, the  owner is still in  full control of the creative design and price structure, but Rite 1  will retain a 2%  administration commission on all sales from the merch store. Help with design and logos etc, can be  given to the owner if needed. 

(H)  GRANT WRITER: • The company uses several grant writer’s that can be  called upon at any time for advice and  consultation or to write grants.  Depending on the size and scope of the grant, the owner may want to   have the grant writer(s) help or even write the grant. In some cases,  for larger grants an added fee may  be required. Being involved with the  company is already a notch under the owner’s belt, as the company  can  use our vast connections and partners to include in the marketing plan  for the owners’ pitch for  grants.  We are also available to review and contribute to marketing plans which are needed for all  grants. 

(I)  SPONSORSHIP & FUND-RAISING: • The company will work with the owner  to obtain sponsor opportunities, charities, endorsements and  funding  opportunities. The company cannot guarantee specific amounts of  engagement in these areas  and also expects the owner to participate in  this process throughout the agreement. In cases where the  company  attains funding for the owner through sponsors, the company will retain a  20% commission on  such funds, but the company will only receive this  commission on funds in which the company aided in  the process. In cases  where the company attains products or endorsements for the owner, the  owner  will receive the products in full, with no obligation to the  company. 

The owner and company agree to  thank sponsor(s) through social  media 

and when possible newsletters and press. 

(J)  TV & FILM PLACEMENTS: • The company will organically pitch the  owners’ music to music supervisors for commercials, films,  video games  and other forms of media. The owner will retain full control and  ownership of all of their  music and copyright. Once an opportunity is  found by the company, the company will negotiate with the  client on  behalf of the owner to receive the best results for the owner. The owner  is in no way bound to  exclusively use the company to attain licensing  opportunities as it is a non-exclusive licensing and  placement  agreement. The company only receives commission on publishing  opportunities that it brings to the owner. 

The publishing split for  each opportunity is usually between 20-50% depending 

on the  music  supervisor and their agreement. The owner always has the right 

to refuse  or accept each  opportunity as it comes. 

(K)  GRAPHICS: • The company employs a professional graphics team that can  take care of all the owners’ needs for  logos, posters, online graphics,  merch design, resizing etc. The owner can use its own graphics OR the   company graphics team. Small projects are included within this  contract, but larger projects may include  an additional charge depending on the size and scope of the design. 

(L)  CONSULTATION: • The company owner and head of operations Sonya Pruneda  acts as your personal consultant, using her decades of experience and  connections to help further your career in all areas needed. 

(M)  RISEUP TV: • The owner will be given first priority to be included in  the RiseUP TV tours and filming as tours are  announced and before it  goes public. RiseUP TV is a worldwide television show with a growing  audience  and powerful distribution and marketing reach. A separate  agreement and waiver will be presented and  explained in full upon  interest by the owner. These shows are distributed worldwide and pay  royalties  according to television performing rights societies and  streaming revenue. 

(N)  OTHER OPPORTUNITIES: • The company has many opportunities that are  presenting themselves on an on-going basis. Two of  these include  Guitar’s n Stars and the RiseUP concert series to name just two. The  owner will be given  first priority on the ones that are appropriate in  the owners’ genre and location. A separate agreement  will be tabled for  the ones that fit the owner and it will be the owner’s choice which  ones to participate  in. 

(O)  DISCOUNTS: • The owner will be given an exclusive discount code that  

can be used in purchasing goods and services  from the many sponsors and  

small businesses associated with the company. The company is involved  with 

a worldwide group of companies ranging from music equipment, to  travel
