The IAC Strategy Partner Program is built exclusively for independent music managers and A&R representatives who are ready to give their artists world-class services — and build a real recurring revenue stream in the process. This is not a referral program. This is a partnership.
As an IAC Strategy Partner you earn revenue on every service your artists access. The more your roster grows — the more you earn every single month.
Independent managers work harder than anyone in this industry. IAC gives you the tools, team, and distribution power to match your ambition.
Start with the Partner Plan and scale as your roster grows. The more artists you bring — the less you pay per artist. Volume discounts, annual savings, and referral credits built right in.
The perfect entry point for independent managers ready to provide professional-grade services and start building a recurring revenue stream.
Your $399/mo Partner Plan includes 3 artists. As your roster grows beyond 3, add artists at a progressively lower per-artist rate. The more artists you manage through IAC, the less each one costs.
From application to your first artist portal — we move fast. Most partners are fully active within 48 hours of signing.
Still have questions? Schedule a discovery call and we'll walk you through everything in detail.

Stay active on any IAC membership plan and career milestones unlock automatically at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months. Every reward is a real career tool — not a discount coupon.

Every reward below is a real career service delivered by the IAC team. Nothing is a gimmick. Each one is chosen because it moves the needle at the specific stage of your career where you'll be when you hit that milestone.
