    Hi

    I am wondering if anyone on the boards has come across this company : Mercator Marketing Research?

    It's where you register as an agent and attend music gigs where performances must consist of live performances of cover songs. You then submit the artists' playlist and receive €45 for each playlist within one month of submission.

    It says on their website that Mercator Marketing Research is hired by the Irish Music Rights Org to gather data on the songs performed at pubs, hotels etc to ensure these venues are paying the necessary licensing fee.

    I'm dubious because there is only a mobile contact number given and it seems to be too good to be true... and you know what they say - if it sounds too good to be true then it probably isn't!!!

    Has anyone done this work and been paid for it.

    I'd very much appreciate feedback.

    Sounds genuine enough. Wage is fairly piss poor when you have to travel ot a venue, hang around like a goon for a few hours listening to dire covers.

    A quick Google of Mercator Marketing Research shows IMRO as a client along with a list of other high profile companies.

    So I hope is all above board:)
