Rights Management

For Artists, Master Owners, Songwriters, Publishers, Performers, Producers, Engineers and Mixers

A catalogue is a unique fingerprint.

A rights holder’s distinct catalogue is comprised of their role in each song and recording, their entitlements, partnerships and agreements. Each facet has the potential to generate varying levels of revenue.

Artists, Featured Artists, Performers, Master Owners, Labels Songwriters, Publishers Producers, Engineers and Mixers

From hundreds of
agencies in dozens
of countries.

Each agency collects only some sources of income. Each require registration, monitoring, tracking and auditing. Each have distinct policies, legislation and requirements. Tax withholdings must be eliminated or minimized.

Royalties are generated from dozens of sources.

Music is constantly consumed in new ways, pushing Rights Management boundaries. As consumption diversifies, the rights landscape becomes increasingly convoluted and complex to navigate.

Dedicated Rights Management

Creates a gapless collection Infrastructure.

Specialized expertise and mastery of the changing market.

Increases revenue.

Earnings are maximized by monitoring catalogue, leading an international registration strategy, removing hidden commissions, securing lowest exchange rates.

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.
Credits: Challenging and Repairing.
Defense: Dispute resolution and advocacy

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?
