About Us

Fourth Pillar’s first-hand knowledge of the industry means they can quickly understand the communications challenges facing any music business. This experience and the team’s expertise in corporate and financial PR offer a unique service to music companies.

Alex Jacob VP of international communications, Warner Music Group

The last number of years have been pivotal for Cutting Edge Group as we have been restructuring the business for future growth. We have undertaken major transactions, including a $500 million refinancing, and have entered into a high value, complex JV with Warner Bros. Discovery. The communication of these deals, and others, has required detailed expertise across capital markets and the copyright asset class, together with careful management of multiple stakeholders and the media. Fourth Pillar were with us every step of the way, providing invaluable advice and guidance during the process as well as access to top tier global media. The results, including high profile coverage in the FT, WSJ and elsewhere, were first class and have had a discernible impact on our strategic growth.

Fourth Pillar was an invaluable partner in the launch of our global report on the impact of AI on creators and the creative industries. Their industry knowledge is second to none and their ability to navigate the media landscape delivered outstanding results, including a top-tier story in the Financial Times featuring our President, Björn Ulvaeus. A safe and trusted partner, Fourth Pillar knows the music industry inside out and I would not hesitate to recommend them.

Working with Fourth Pillar has been a highly professional and positive experience. The team is smart, proactive and genuinely great to collaborate with. Their global reach is impressive, and despite the time differences involved in working with Luminate’s team across the US, they’re always available and on top of everything. I’d highly recommend them to anyone looking for a PR team that really understands the industry and delivers great coverage.

Fourth Pillar had an immediate impact when we engaged the team to support with the financial communications for Round Hill Music Royalty Fund. The uniqueness of their skillset, combining a deep understanding of the complexities of the music industry and the investor landscape, mean they were equipped to immediately reset and reestablish the RHMRF investment narrative.

Fourth Pillar brings a diverse skill set and a real expertise that makes its support an asset to music companies seeking to raise their profile, expand their industry network or shape their narrative for internal and external audiences.

Peter Leathem OBE CEO, PPL

The Fourth Pillar team really took the time to understand our strategy, messaging and narrative, working to position us as the leading clinical experts for performers across music, film, TV and theatre and laying the foundations for our fundraising drive in our 40th year. Their work secured a national feature in The Times, extensive trade press coverage and impactful thought leadership pieces that landed our key messages effectively. Their introductions to new partners and stakeholders broadened our network and expanded our reach in ways we could not have achieved alone.

Claire Cordeaux CEO, BAPAM

The team has brought a much needed fresh perspective to our communications and how we present our investment case, which has been informed by the team’s keen insight into both the investor community and dynamics of the music industry.
