Gardiner Named SVP, Concord Music Publishing
• Concord Music Publishing announced the appointment of Adam Gardiner as Senior Vice President, International Sync.
Gardiner (pictured) joins Concord following a decade with Universal Music’s creative division, Globe, where he worked his way up from team assistant to Head of Film & TV. In his new role at Concord, Gardiner will be responsible for all music publishing sync activity outside the US, with the UK, Germany and Australia sync teams reporting directly to him, as well as coordinating all of CMP’s third-party sync activity.
Gardiner is based in London and reports to John Minch, President International Publishing at Concord, who said, “It goes without saying that music publishing sync success is of enormous strategic importance to Concord, and we look forward to building on the great success of the sync team. This is a key appointment, and we are delighted to have Adam with us.”
Gardiner commented, “Concord has an incredible roster of frontline writers and a catalogue that’s packed full of iconic songs. I’ve always been extremely passionate about working closely with songwriters and here I’ll get the chance to do it with some of the best. TV and Film markets are booming across the world and there are now more opportunities than ever for sync teams to create genuinely exciting opportunities for their writers and songs alongside the obvious rewards on offer from advertising. I want the Concord sync team to be market leaders in that space and be a collaborative and creative partner to film makers of every kind.” [Photo by Louise Haywood-Schiefer, courtesy of Concord Music Publishing]
