About us
Philosophy
KARAKTER is an artist management company based in Berlin and London. Its philosophy is to work honestly and openly with our artists. We have a holistic approach to management, working with artists and producers with strong individual characters and finding the right path to represent them in the most appropriate way – whether that should be on a consultancy basis or full management basis.
As team-players, Karakter Worldwide also expects our artists and business partners to be team-players too. Good working relationships are a crucial foundation for a successful venture. Great music alone is not enough, because so many other things influence whether a career will be successful or not. We take a long-term view with our clients, building relationships and effective strategies to maximize our artists’ potential for a long and healthy career.
Over the last ten years, Karakter artists have released many successful albums; were nominated for, or won, awards (Tony Awards, BBC Folk Awards, Grammy, Echo, Choice Music Prize, Meteor Awards, Deutscher Musikautorenpreis, Preis fuer Popkultur, Amadeus Awards among others); their music was chosen for movies, Netflix & television series and advertising campaigns; they’ve collaborated with respected film directors and created a Broadway musical; and played thousands of live shows and festivals worldwide.
Team
Karakter Management was established by three co-founders: Peter Putz, Liz Riches, and Maximilian Schenkel. Each brought extensive experience from different entertainment sectors.
The company was created in 2005 when the founders decided to combine their expertise. They had previously worked in publishing, labels, music television, film, publicity, lecturing about the music business at European and US universities and colleges, live booking and design.
In a time where this industry concentrates more and more on quantity and conveyor-belt short term success, we believe in focusing on the quality of our artists and of our own work.
The founding team has expanded to include additional staff members who align with their values and work approach. The company also provides consultation services and maintains strategic partnerships with various labels, publishers, distributors, and live promoters.
