All Things Considered Group PLC is a progressive, independent, music company operating internationally across multiple commercial areas of the music industry. The Group provides direct artist representation, including management and live booking, as well as merchandising, music promotion, live-streaming, event production and other services.
ATC's integrated model unites multiple direct-to-fan capabilities under one roof, creating diversified revenue streams and positioning ATC to harness and unlock valuable data insights. It offers artists a comprehensive and connected approach to managing and growing their careers, enabled by integration of the Group's services and ATC's deep sector knowledge.
The Group operates across three core segments, positioning it in key growth areas and providing access to key market intelligence and cross-service opportunities. The three segments are:
· Representation - artist management and live agency · Services - marketing, e-commerce, merchandising and digital · Events - live events, festivals and experiential entertainment
Representation - Artist Management and Live Agency Artist Management includes the following businesses: ATC Management (in Europe and the USA), ATC Composers, Raw Power Management and Real Life Management, which provide personal management for talent across various music genres. The Group manages and represents over 130 recording artists, songwriters, composers and performers, providing business guidance and negotiating commercial opportunities on their behalf.
In Live Agency, ROAM represents artists for concert and festival bookings internationally. Clients include internationally recognised artists such as Nick Cave, PJ Harvey, The Lumineers and Fontaines D.C., as well as a growing number of emerging and established acts across a range of music genres.
Services - marketing, e-commerce, merchandising and digital ATC provides ancillary commercial services that support artists' businesses and fan engagement. These include music promotion and marketing (through Circa, a US headquartered marketing agency), merchandising and e-commerce (through Sandbag, a merchandising and e-commerce Company, also providing other direct-to-fan services), and digital content production and live streaming (through Driift, a full service live-stream production and distribution business).
The Services segment enables artists to access services tailored towards specific business functions or opt for a fully integrated approach according to their business needs. ATC is able to offer a broad spectrum of services and therefore bespoke support for each client, which the directors of ATC ("Directors") believe serves as a key commercial differentiator in the industry.
Events - live events, festivals and experiential entertainment ATC operates businesses focussed on live events production, festivals, and experiential entertainment. ATC Experience, Joy Entertainment Group, and LiveX develop and promote concerts, theatrical productions and immersive fan experiences. Experiential entertainment is increasingly popular as audiences seek unique, engaging activities that offer greater engagement than traditional forms of entertainment. Experiential entertainment events, such as the Hamlet Hail to the Thief theatre production, can generate new intellectual property, and by providing integrated services, ATC is positioned to be able to develop new revenue opportunities for its clients.
The three segments of Representation, Services and Events combine to deliver a range of business operations which put the artist at the centre of the artist's ecosystem. With over 900 artists now in ATC's client base across circa 1,200 business engagements, ATC is experiencing an increase in revenues whilst building brand equity and developing new opportunities to collaborate with artists, including opportunities for ATC to co-invest in the creation of new intellectual property (IP) across events and experiences. As artists increase their engagement across ATC's segments, the Directors believe that this offers opportunities to capture and commercialise fan data at scale.
The music industry increasingly focuses on a more direct economic relationship between artist and fan. The Directors believe that by leveraging data that can be gathered across a wide set of artist and fan direct interactions, and then facilitating the direct commercial agreement between them, ATC's Integrated Artist Services model can provide a collaborative approach that keeps artists in control of their data while providing the tools to grow and control their own businesses. Through its ability to roundly service artists businesses, the Directors believe that the Group is positioned to harness and commercialise fan data.
The Group's main country of operation is the UK, with headquarters in London, and offices in the key industry hubs of Los Angeles and New York. The Group has approximately 200 staff across the Group.

DETAILS OF THE APPLICANT'S STRATEGY FOLLOWING ADMISSION INCLUDING, IN THE CASE OF AN INVESTING COMPANY, DETAILS OF ITS INVESTING STRATEGY: |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The Group's focus is on expanding its footprint within the rapidly evolving music industry. The global music industry is a multi-billion-dollar market undergoing significant transformation driven by technological innovations, shifting consumer demands, and, the Directors believe, an increasing recognition that the future of the industry lies with the artist and their ability to engage directly with their fanbases. ATC's integrated model unites multiple direct-to-fan capabilities under one roof creating diversified revenue streams and positioning ATC to harness and unlock valuable data insights, which the Directors believe gives the Group a competitive differentiation.
The Group's growth strategy focuses on expanding its integrated approach to talent management, live booking, live-streaming and artist services while continuing to deepen relationships with artists across multiple service lines.
Through this approach, the Group aims to enable artists to maximise their commercial potential by harnessing and optimising additional sources of fan data, whilst broadening its participation across the music industry's multiple revenue streams.
To deliver its growth strategy, the Group will build artist first ecosystems at scale and continue to employ the following strategies in the respective service areas:
· Talent acquisition and development - the Group will seek to expand and diversify the number of artist businesses the Group works with by identifying potential new clients, including both emerging talent and established talent seeking new representation, while driving the long-term growth of existing clients' businesses.
· Expanding live touring & booking services - the Directors intend to increase the scope and reach of the Group's live booking division.
· Data driven growth and fan engagement - the Group has, via its clients, a digital footprint which the Directors believe can be leveraged to increase artists' fan engagement and drive direct-to-fan revenue. The Group intends to scale through the strategic aggregation and deployment of fan data.
· Diversifying revenue streams - the Group will seek to expand and strengthen revenue generation by broadening its service capabilities through strategic expansion. The Company is exploring opportunities to acquire or develop complementary businesses that align with the Group's strategy. This approach is designed to enhance long-term value, enhance existing client and artist relationships, and build greater operational resilience.
· Co-creation, co-production and new IP generation - the Company aims to seize opportunities for co-creating and co-producing new IP through live events, experiences, and innovative partnerships.
