La Clique Production

What La Clique Production does

La Clique Production is a privately held French performing arts production and artist management company founded in 2014 by Arnaud Amat, headquartered in Marseille at the CMCI (Centre de Musique et de Chant). The company operates four internal divisions: La Clique Prod (show production and general management), La Clique etc...! (artist management and distribution), La Clique Label (phonographic production and music publishing), and La Clique Bis (administrative support, logistics, and training). It manages a roster of 11+ artists spanning Afro Pop, Electro Folk, Blues, World Music, Jazz, Raï, Arabic Classical, and Mediterranean genres, with a particular focus on cross-cultural and cross-genre collaboration.

The company's revenue model is built on professional services rather than product sales. Primary revenue streams include tour and booking fees from international artist touring, regie and programming services for festivals and cultural venues, formation and coaching services for industry professionals, and licensing/royalty revenue from the La Clique Label division. Customer segments are diverse: independent musicians and bands (primary), festivals and cultural venues (primary), and municipalities and associations (secondary). Pricing is custom-quoted engagement-based rather than standardized. The company maintains distribution partnerships with major global labels (Sony Music, Universal Music, ECM Records, Harmonia Mundi) and prestige cultural institutions (CNSM Paris, Musée du Quai Branly, OSM Montreal, Radio France, Shakespeare's Globe).

La Clique Production's go-to-market approach is event-driven and relationship-based, leveraging memberships in CNM, SMA, Féelin, Zone Franche, EBU, and PAM (Prodiss), regular press coverage in French and international outlets (Le Monde, Télérama, Rock&Folk, Songlines), and a presence at major European festivals including Jazz à Vienne, Colours of Ostrava, and Shakespeare's Globe London. The company holds French entertainment industry operator licenses (2-1032829 / 3-1032830) and has accumulated 8+ industry awards including Songlines' Top of the World and Printemps de Bourges official selection. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; based on a 9-employee headcount and service-based B2B model, the company likely operates at a small-scale professional services level.
