Salary benchmarks
Our take
Mixcloud wants to remove the middleman who can often take away from the creator and fan connection and provide direct support for creators. It operates via an audio streaming platform that prioritises creators who craft a deeper listening experience and build their own fan communities.
Founded in 2009, Mixcloud operates a fair and legal streaming service that ensures artists, songwriters, and rights-holders behind the music receive their fair royalties. The company also offers a direct fan-to-creator channel subscription model that uniquely enables the long-form audio creator to take part in the online revenue mix, amongst other services.
Mixcloud is continually developing the features it offers fans and creators, such as through live streams that promote direct fan payments. It operates on tech that does not lag, allowing for real-time fan viewing. Other features include a tipping option on artists' pages to help solidify Mixcloud's creator-first position.
