If you've ever tried to track down a record or publishing company, you know it is a daunting task. dmg's staff is expert at negotiating the music clearance minefield, and is seriously committed to giving your project top priority.
Those words describe dmg's clearance staff. We leverage our abundant industry contacts, Phonolog subscription, on-line data services and a variety of industry publications to bring you the excellent service for which we're famous.
What keeps our clients coming back, year after year?

Why flat fees? That's dmg's guarantee to you, our client, to finish the projects we start, no matter what it takes to get your project closed on time. We don't nickle and dime you... and we don't give up on a clearance or project.
The hard truth about this business is that sometimes a particularly difficult clearance comes along that takes two weeks, to as much as six months, to get done. At dmg, we've got your back. If you were paying hourly, it could run hundreds of dollars for a single clearance. That's why we go with a flat fee. To save hassle. To save you bucks.
Please feel free to give us a call, or email us, if you need to know more. dmg is confident that we can fill your music clearance needs. We're here to get the job done for you.
