Ghostly International, the ambient music label, has taken advantage of its growth opportunities this year through a number of partnerships with other creative-based firms.
The Ann Arbor-based firm, it calls the
Tech Brewery home, has hired one full-time employee and another part-timer over the last year. It currently has a staff of 11 employees across the company’s five divisions and in other cities, such as New York City and Los Angeles.
Driving the growth for the firm has been partnerships on a variety of projects. For instance, Ghostly International teamed up with
Warby Parker to create a Ghostly International brand of sunglasses. You can check out a video about the partnership
here.
Ghostly International is also partnering with
Honeyslug Games to create the soundtrack for the
Hohokum video game for PlayStation. The team at Honeyslug Games approached Ghostly International with a music playlist in mind for the video game and it turned out to be all Ghostly International songs.
"We will have an entire soundtrack for that surrounding the release," says Jeremy Peters, director of creative licensing & business affairs for Ghostly Songs, a division of
Ghostly International. "They have been awesome to work with."
Ghostly International is also still releasing electronic music. It is release the new album for
