The Europe in Synch Podcast is back with a new season and starts with Lisa Humann, Senior Director Creative Synch & Music Supervision at BMG Rights Management, based in Berlin. You can listen to it now right here or wherever you stream your podcasts!
We hear how BMG’s integrated global system, which combines the roles of both publishers and labels, has created a more efficient and responsive sync team. Lisa shares insights into BMG’s impressive catalogue of over three million songs and how a global collaborative network enhances music placement opportunities.
We explore the evolving landscape of TV music sync and the transformative impact of streaming services on the German market. From budgeting and hiring composers to negotiating licenses and contracts, Lisa walks us through the creative and logistical aspects of her role. We also take a closer look at groundbreaking music placements in local German productions like Netflix’s “Dark,” understanding how innovative music concepts can elevate storytelling and set new industry trends.
We recorded this conversation at the BMG offices in Berlin on 14.06.2024. We hope you enjoy the episode and thank you for listening.
