We're working to transform the music industry for the better.
We believe business can be a force for good, put people and planet before profit, and strive to create positive change. We're one of the few B Corp music companies in the world, a certification which means we're held to the highest environmental and worker welfare standards. Equality, inclusion and wellbeing sit at the heart of everything we do.
Our approach is defined by a people-first philosophy with relationships built on a culture of mutual trust and respect. Our partners and artists become part of our community, with many based on the canal in Haggerston, East London – at our Bankstock offices or our studios and co-working space The Halley.

MEET OUR PEOPLE
MISSION & PEOPLE
OUR VALUES
Culture means everything at AEI, and our core values are central to how we work together and recruit new talent. We actively look for people who not only align with our outlook, but can also help us develop further.
1. We are rebels with a cause
Doing things differently is our DNA. Not because we are especially contrarian, but because we believe that real industry change can only occur by adopting different ways of thinking – and in many cases approaching things with a beginner’s mind.
2. We seek actions over words
We are intensely action-oriented. All progress comes from taking that first step.
3. We “love what we do” for a living
We spend so much of our lives working. It's why we not only enjoy our work, but bring the best version of ourselves to work every day.
4. We’re in it for the long haul
25 years as an independent company has taught us patience. We’re equally excited about the next 25 years and will never sacrifice long-term value for short-term gain.
5. We play the guide, not the hero.
We are humble and modest in our outlook. Success comes through service to others.
6. Positive impact, locally & globally
As a certified B Corporation, we try to ensure that our efforts are having a positive impact in our local communities, as well as on a global level.
