IMPEL strikes strategic partnership with Blokur
Blokur will support IMPEL in becoming the premier licensing hub for the independent publishing community worldwide
We are happy to announce our partnership with IMPEL, the independent music publishing digital licensing body. The partnership is set to be a significant driver in creating the conditions for IMPEL’s future growth.
In this initial phase of the collaboration, Blokur will provide a copyright hub for IMPEL, using our comprehensive database of rights data and industry-leading matching technology. The hub will consolidate and enrich IMPEL’s data, streamlining its delivery to IMPEL’s licensing and administration partners around the world. This will augment IMPEL’s ability to promote the breadth and quality of its fast-growing repertoire to digital services, and to act quickly in seizing important new licensing opportunities.
The strategic alliance marks the beginning of a long-term relationship and aims to support IMPEL in fulfilling its mission of being the premier licensing hub for the independent publishing community worldwide.
IMPEL CEO Sarah Williams expressed her enthusiasm for the partnership, stating that:
“This deal marks the end of a very comprehensive process for IMPEL to find the right tech provider to support our exciting plans for growth. In Blokur we believe we have found an innovative and responsive partner whose ambitions match our own and I am extremely excited about the potential that this is going to unlock.”
Blokur CEO Phil Barry also expressed his excitement, stating:
“We are delighted to partner with IMPEL and its members to grow the potential of digital music for independent music publishers. By combining the unique repertoire of IMPEL’s publisher members with Blokur’s unrivaled data and matching technologies, we are creating a platform for independent music publishers that will help them seize the full opportunity of the rapidly evolving world of online music.”
This strategic partnership is set to revolutionise the independent music publishing industry, giving independent publishers the tools they need to compete effectively in the digital music landscape. We are excited to see what the future of this partnership will bring to the music industry.
