ole/BMG Sign Creative Pact

TORONTO: ole and BMG Rights Management GmbH have signed an exclusive multi-year reciprocal deal, which will see the companies generate creative opportunities for each others' copyrights in their respective territories.

The synergies between the two companies are extensive. Both are committed to being top-tier global, full-service music publishers with a strong focus on creative development and strategic acquisitions.

ole Chairman and CEO, Robert Ott, says of the reciprocal service arrangement, "ole recently reached the threshold of becoming a medium-sized player in global music publishing. Our ascent to the next level will be founded on partnership-oriented thinking. With a very experienced executive and team, BMG has shown that its collaborative and artist-oriented approach is a success, and we look forward to a fruitful relationship. We wanted to work with a company that had a similar focus on service and adding value creatively and have found both in BMG."

BMG Rights Management CEO Hartwig Masuch says, "Having known Robert and his team for a long time, I believe this is a perfect match and will deliver convincing opportunities for ole's and our writers."
