Outperforms the status quo.
Dedicated rights management is a single-minded effort by global specialists, with only one focus.
We’re not a tech company fronting as a music rights manager and relying on automation. We’re not overworked managers, business manager, or lawyers, irregularly registering the basics.
We’re dedicated rights managers.


We’re forensic specialists, trackers, hunters, aggressive advocates
SMG actively monitors every reporting market for airplay, streams, consumption behavior and new media, in search of performance hot spots. By understanding global data, we target and attack core revenues.
Follow through: Persistent representation.
Counter Reciprocal: Not depending on local CMOs.

An engine for global rights ambitions.
We build individual, global rights platforms for each of our clients based on individual needs and strategy.
Registration, collection and reporting is always in our clients’ name, not ours. For globally minded rights holders, SMG provides total transparency, absolute autonomy, and complete control.


Rights Intelligence. Designed for teams.
The SMG Rights Management portal was built to answer the questions our clients have. Where are payments coming from? What is the nature of those values? Who is currently working on accounts within SMG, and what are they doing?
