Sacem, renewing deal with IMPEL, strengthens ties with independent publishers
In April 2018, Sacem announced an unprecedented partnership for digital copyright management with IMPEL, the largest licensing network of independent music publishers.
After 2 years of collaboration, with digital use gaining an increasingly central and strategic role, IMPEL has chosen to renew its confidence in Sacem.
Thanks to the quality of Sacem's services and powerful tools like its URights management platform, IMPEL gets transparent access to data via Sacem's tools and can carry out any number of analyses on its repertoires as it tracks performance and ensures fair remuneration.
Sacem could not be more pleased with the renewal of this deal and is extremely proud to contribute to IMPEL's success.
Jean-Noël Tronc, CEO of Sacem, said: "In a crisis situation like the one we're going through, with creators' revenues dropping, it is vital that they can count on solid, trustworthy partners to authorise the use of works and collect digital royalties. We are proud that IMPEL and its independent publishers have chosen to renew this agreement with Sacem. Together, we will continue to do everything we can to bring greater transparency and value to all its members and to defend a dynamic and eclectic musical repertoire.”
Sarah Williams, CEO of IMPEL said : «We have built an excellent relationship with Sacem and are very happy with what has been achieved so far. Both IMPEL and Sacem share an ethos of “how can we do this better?”. As a consequence, we are getting great results with our distributions, and are making continual improvements to the way we do business. We anticipate an extremely positive future»
