WHY STEAM?
  • We are here when you need us and we take care of you personally, walk you through the entire onboarding process and help solving any appearing problem during our partnership

  • Most publishers partner with sub-publishers abroad. In such cases, we lower our commission to provide rates that are nearly equivalent to the original source rates
  • We frequently review collection societies to identify and address duplicate entries and conflicting registrations, ensuring any inconsistencies are resolved

  • Become part of a global songwriter network and write/compose to multiple leads from Asia or Europe every week
  • Our own sync team pitches your music to fitting projects worldwide

OUR TERMS
  • Worldwide publishing administration
  • 70/30 split, in your favor on all income (Mechanical, Performance & Sync)
  • Three year exclusive deal / Auto-renewal of agreement on a yearly basis
  • Schedule deals on a song-by song basis (non-catalog)
  • Social media platform collections including YouTube, TikTok, Instagram & Facebook
Our Publishing Administration agreement term is three years, due to the length of time involved in worldwide collections. We often won't see revenue from certain territories until 12-18 months at a minimum, so we use that time to audit all of your registrations - fixing writer split errors, merging duplicates etc. - to ensure we're collecting everything that's owned to you.
