IMS Partners With WMG

• Internet Media Services (IMS), a subsidiary of Sony Pictures Television Entertainment and Warner Music Group (WMG) have entered a strategic partnership to create and promote new advertising opportunities in emerging markets across the globe.

IMS will manage the advertising inventory for WMG’s YouTube channels in Russia, Poland, Spain, Portugal, and all of Latin America, with the exception of Brazil. These channels, featuring content from WMG’s vast roster of global artists, present previously untapped potential for new advertising clients.

We are delighted to partner with Warner Music, and appreciate the confidence that they’ve placed in IMS to grow operations in these fast-growing regions.”

Alfonso Perez Soto, SVP, Global Business Development/Chief Commercial Officer, Emerging Markets, WMG, commented, “With music traveling faster and farther than ever before, emerging markets present a real opportunity to connect artists, fans, and brands. IMS is a leader in developing unique marketing strategies and we’re pleased to partner with them as we ramp up our global advertising offerings.”
