📅 Tomorrow at 6PM CET!

Join Vladimir Philippov, CEO of Broma 16, and a panel of leading voices in the music industry for a LinkedIn Live hosted by the The Association For Electronic Music.

We’ll be tackling one of the most critical questions in the music business: Why do so many royalties never make it to their rightful owners?

🌍 At Broma 16, we handle over 12 million music works and are constantly evolving new practices — including Gap Licensing — to uncover missing royalties, especially from overlooked regions and untapped income streams.

🎵 Whether you're a rights holder, a creator, or working within the music licensing ecosystem — don't miss the opportunity to learn how your royalties can be better tracked, claimed, and collected.

🎧 Snapchat signs music licensing deals — what does it mean for rightsholders?

Snapchat just made a big move, signing new licensing agreements with music publishers through the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA). This is another step toward making sure music used on social platforms is licensed — and artists get paid.

At Broma 16, we welcome this shift: every new deal like this helps close the gaps in global royalty collection — especially for short-form video, where usage often slips through the cracks. The message is clear: social platforms know music has value. It’s time rightsholders made the most of it.

👉If you're wondering whether your music is being properly tracked and monetized — let's talk.

Snapchat owner Snap Inc. has finalized a broad number of music publisher licensing agreements, with the NMPA structuring the pact.

🌴 Next week Broma 16 will be at International Music Summit – IMS Ibiza 2025, where the electronic music industry comes together to connect, learn and get inspired for what's next.

We’re especially excited for the sessions hosted by our friends at Association For Electronic Music — looking forward to take part!

💬 If you’re attending, feel free to get in touch – let’s talk rights, royalties and how we might collaborate.

See you on the island, under the Ibiza sun 🌞

📣 YouTube is stepping up its game for Shorts creators – new editing tools are coming, including a proper timeline editor, auto music sync, and even AI image stickers. It’s a big move to compete with TikTok and Reels.

At Broma 16, we see this as a win for artists and rights holders. More tools = more creative freedom and more opportunities for music to shine in a variety of formats. But it also means rights tracking needs to keep up — and that’s where we come in.

It’s going to be a fun few weeks for new video-editing tools launched by big platforms. YouTube Shorts is getting some improvements.
