Power Your Publishing Company: Inside Elizabeth Music Group’s Publishing Joint Venture Program
Independent record labels and management companies often sit on valuable catalogs without a working publishing division to collect the income those songs generate. Building one from scratch takes money, systems, industry relationships and years of learning. Elizabeth Music Group’s Publishing Joint Venture Program offers a faster route: a fully operational publishing arm, without building the infrastructure alone.
A Publishing Division, Ready to Run
Through the program, which the company calls “Power Your Publishing Company,” Elizabeth Music Group works with labels and entertainment companies to turn them into working publishing businesses. The partner company keeps its brand and its creative relationships. Elizabeth Music Group Publishing supplies the systems, staff, expertise and day-to-day operations behind it.
The partnership covers four main areas.
1. Publishing Registration
Global song registration, metadata management, split verification and collection society registrations. This groundwork decides whether a catalog collects everything it has earned or loses money through missing data.
2. Royalty Collection
Elizabeth Music Group Publishing collects publishing income on the partner’s behalf and pays out monthly, not quarterly like most other companies. For a label or management firm, that means steadier cash flow and faster payments to its own writers.
3. Sync Licensing
Partners’ songs are pitched for film, TV, advertising, video games and other sync opportunities. Elizabeth Music Group has worked on sync campaigns linked to Netflix (Hitmakers and A Different World are two examples), GQ, Sour Patch Kids, VISA, Morphe Cosmetics, the NFL, ESPN, Six Flags and the BET Awards, and joint venture partners benefit from that network and sync licensing opportunities Elizabeth Music Group Publishing provides.
4. Infrastructure
Partners also get education, mentorship, systems and communication support. The aim is for a label to understand publishing, not just outsource it.
Who the Program Is For
The Joint Venture Program is designed for:
- Independent record labels
- Management firms
- Entertainment companies
- Producer collectives
- Media brands building catalogs
- Distribution companies
Many of these businesses already have the talent and the songs. What they lack is the publishing back office, and that is what this program provides.
Why It Matters
Publishing is one of the most valuable long-term assets in music, yet many independent companies leave it untouched because it seems too complex. Founder TheZachMichael started Elizabeth Music Group after years of seeing how unclear publishing deals left musicians confused about their own earnings. The Joint Venture program brings that same education-first approach to companies. Partners get a working system and learn how their publishing income actually works with a dedicated staff that cares.
With a global catalog, a roster that reaches the US, UK, Africa, Latin America, and other countries, and a team experienced in publishing royalty collection, Elizabeth Music Group Publishing gives partners a strong platform to grow from.
Build It Together
For labels and entertainment companies ready to turn their catalogs into a real publishing business, the Publishing Joint Venture Program offers a proven partner and a faster path to results.
