Promote your DISCO Catalog to music supervisors

At a certain point, your music business grows to a size where sharing music one playlist at a time needs to be supplemented - especially if you have strong relationships with clients who return regularly, or blanket licensing deals in place. Clients and supervisors need to be able to search your catalog on their own terms, at their own pace, without you having to be in the room every time. A DISCO Catalog solves that problem. Building the Catalog is just the starting point. Getting it in front of the right people - and keeping it there - is where the real work begins. This article covers how to share your Catalog effectively, opt in to music supervisor discovery, and build the habits that keep your music visible and accessible over time.

CONTENTS

Start by making it easy to find

Once your Catalog is live, the goal is simple - make sure the right people know it exists and can get to it instantly.

A few high-value places to put your Catalog link:

your email signature
your website, ideally as a prominent "Search our catalog" button
bulk email campaigns to your contact database
direct invites sent from the Clients section of the Catalog CMS, which pre-authorizes access for close contacts
your DISCO profile contact details, so it appears in the footer of every shared playlist

These are not one-off actions. The best-performing Catalogs stay consistently in front of people - through regular updates, new releases added, and ongoing outreach that gives supervisors a reason to come back.

Keep your Catalog fresh

Supervisors who visit once and find the same content every time have no reason to come back. A few habits that help:

add new releases as they come in
keep metadata and tags current
update artist bios and photos when things change
feature seasonal or timely playlists where relevant
use the Stats section to see what is getting attention and curate accordingly

Stats are available for each Catalog in the Stats section - you can see who is accessing it, which tracks are getting played, and where the interest is coming from. Use that to make better decisions about what to feature.

Opt in to MultiDISCO Search

If you want to extend your reach beyond your existing network, setting your Catalog to Easy Access in the Access and promotion settings puts your tracks into MultiDISCO Search - available inside every verified music supervisor DISCO account around the clock.

Make sure your Catalog description is filled in before opting in. Supervisors can search Catalogs by description inside the Discover Music area - a specific, accurate description about the sounds and strengths of your catalog makes you easier to find when someone is browsing for a new source.

A note on sync placements

Being part of MultiDISCO Search is an advantage over libraries that aren't participating - but it is worth being clear about what that means in practice.

Landing sync placements involves quality music, fast communication, trusted relationships, and consistent presence. Appearing in search results increases the odds of being discovered - it does not guarantee a placement.

Supervisors who find you through MultiDISCO Search still need to like what they hear. They still need to be able to clear it. They still need to be able to reach you quickly when a brief is live.

That means your metadata needs to include contact information and rights details. Your Catalog needs to look professional. And you still need to be doing the relationship work - reaching out, attending events, following up, staying visible - so that when a supervisor sees your music in a search result, there is already some recognition there.

The Catalog opens the door. Everything else determines whether anything comes through it.

Wrap up

Put your Catalog link everywhere, keep the content fresh, and do the relationship work alongside it. The Catalog handles the search infrastructure- you handle the rest.
