Creators’ needs today: how Sacem is adapting to new modes of creation

Ep. 181: This is the second episode in a two-part series about the evolution of CMOs – recorded as collective management organisations undergo their most significant transformation in decades. In this episode, Sacem’s Director of International, Caroline Champarnaud chats with Julien Dumon , its Director of Digital. They explain how the global infrastructure only works if it ultimately serves creators –whose needs are evolving just as fast as the systems built to support them. They go on to explain how Sacem is redefining its services, tools and philosophy to support modern creators – from digital-native artists to global collaborators – while maintaining fairness, transparency and trust. ⁠ SACEM : Society of Authors, Composers and Publishers of Music⁠ ========= Series recap: In the first episode in the series, ⁠⁠David El Sayegh, Deputy CEO of Sacem⁠⁠ , discussed how the organisation is defining the future of copyright. In the second episode, ⁠we were joined by Julien Lefebvre ⁠ , the Head of Innovation and Sacem Lab, to talk about its startup partnerships, and the strategic decision to open up certain proprietary technologies to all creators.
