Professional Studio Consulting Program
Overview
A multi-year consulting engagement elevating boutique and mid-sized studios with acoustics, workflow, and business intelligence services from MONTADECS.
Elevating Boutique Studios Without Losing Soul
Independent studios anchor Seoul’s creative neighbourhoods, but many were trapped between rising client expectations and razor-thin budgets. MONTADECS launched a consulting program that pairs technical expertise with business intelligence, ensuring owners could scale sustainably while preserving their signature vibe.
Every engagement opened with what we call a Narrative Audit—interviews with clients, engineers, and even neighbouring cafés to understand how each space is perceived. From there we drafted a phased upgrade roadmap: acoustic correction, power conditioning, ventilation, ergonomics, and amenities. No two studios received the same solution set.
From Acoustic Models to Revenue Models
Our engineers tackled modal issues with custom treatment, tuned nearfield monitoring, and improved HVAC isolation. In parallel, our business strategists modelled pricing tiers, utilisation targets, and service diversification—introducing mix subscriptions, podcast retainers, or Atmos add-ons tailored to each owner’s strengths.

We closed the loop with training intensives covering client experience, data tracking, and maintenance. A shared analytics hub now benchmarks booking patterns across the collective, letting owners forecast slow seasons and collaborate on overflow. The program continues as a guild-like community where knowledge flows freely and each studio’s identity remains fiercely intact.
By aligning artistic ambition with operational discipline, the consulting program has helped studios secure bigger artist residencies, negotiate fairer label deals, and reinvest profits into next-wave equipment without losing creative integrity.
