What Atlantic Screen Group does

Atlantic Screen Group (ASG) is a privately held, London-headquartered music publishing, production, and investment company that operates across the full lifecycle of film and television music rights. The group is structured around five divisions: Atlantic Screen Music (ASM), founded in 2011, acquires score copyrights to 30+ film and television productions annually and has accumulated rights to over 250 scores; Multi Media Music is a $200m Film and Television Music Fund (minority-held by ASG) that owns composer catalogs including James Newton Howard and Tyler Bates plus publishing interests of Amblin, Millennium, and STX; Redfive, launched in 2018, is a music supervision practice serving 20+ film and TV productions per year for BBC, Apple TV, Netflix, and theatrical clients; Copyright Administration Services (CAS) administers more than 100,000 tracks on behalf of rights holders including ITV, Fervor Music, Zuffa Music, and The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo; and Nightjar is CAS's specialist synchronization arm placing music in Premier League, The Grand Tour, GAP Canada, and theatrical releases. The company employs 11–50 people and operates from London (Frith Street) and Los Angeles (Pacific Coast Highway).

ASG's revenue model is built on three reinforcing streams: (i) licensing royalties and exploitation income from owned and administered catalogs across film, television, advertising, and sports; (ii) professional services fees from music supervision (Redfive) where it is engaged on a per-production basis; and (iii) managed services revenue from CAS's administration of 100,000+ third-party tracks. Go-to-market is direct B2B enterprise sales through industry relationships rather than a tech-enabled self-serve channel, with the CEO and Creative Director personally anchoring deal flow. The business is asset-heavy and capital-intensive on the acquisition side, evidenced by a January 2026 $30m debt facility from Corrum Capital earmarked for score and catalog purchases.

Strategically, ASG is positioned as a vertically integrated music IP platform for the screen industries: it sources rights, supervises productions, administers publishing, and licenses synchronization in-house. Customer segments span music rights holders, film and television producers, and publishing companies, with named enterprise clients across broadcasting (ITV), film production (Recorded Picture Company), sports media (Zuffa Music), and cultural events (Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo). The company's competitive differentiation rests on industry relationships, accumulated catalog IP, and the breadth of its service stack rather than on proprietary technology or AI.
