Issue Date: May 2024
Those responsible for managing the process of distributing the music and merchandise associated with an artist or act apply the skills and knowledge outlined in this unit. The unit may apply to artists, musical publishers, digital distributors/aggregators in association with independent labels, as well as those who work in record companies. The market for physical products, such as CDs, is contracting as consumers turn to online stores to purchase music in more flexible ways. Therefore digital distribution of music is becoming the dominant distribution mode.
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to manage the distribution of music in both physical and digital formats, as well as products associated with the music.
