In an era when foreign publishers, record labels, ad agencies and burgeoning new media companies are increasingly open to collaborating with US Publishers, there has never been a better time for US songs and songwriters in the global marketplace. Unfortunately, most US Publishers are completely ignoring these opportunities.


Recognizing the ever-growing opportunities for our songs and the need for thorough copyright administration specific to each territory, Spirit collaborates with a network of leading independent publishers across the globe. Each Spirit affiliate has been hand-picked and represents companies that are both top-notch administrators and active copyright promoters. As opposed to the passive relationships most publishers maintain, Spirit works hand-in-hand with our foreign affiliates to insure quick and accurate royalty collection and maintains one of the most active international creative hubs in the business. Our songwriters and producers are often found in London, Munich, Stockholm or Tokyo collaborating with the regions' top artists while our executives are regularly invited to speak at conferences such as the UK's In the City, Germany's Popkomm and Norway's By:Larm.

Please find below a sampling of our recent global achievements:

  • In the United Kingdom, the company has licensed songs into such films as Lock Stock And Two Smoking Barrels and Trainspotting, placed music in campaigns for McDonalds and Nestle (which included the release of a premium single) scored a top hit by Javine (Innocent/Virgin) and cuts with Joss Stone (EMI) and VS (Virgin) and 365 (Innocent). Recent collaborations have led to cuts on forthcoming albums by the likes of Craig David (Warner), Estelle (V2) and Sef (East/West).


  • In Germany, we've scored a chart-topping single for the FIFA World Cup "Goleo" Soundtrack and landed back-to-back hit singles with SonyBMG's Raptile. Our writer/producers have collaborated with Subword artists including Kool Savas, Curse and Melbeatz and Capitol/EMI's Afrob and Sammy Deluxe. Spirit songs have been licensed in adverts for popular snack chips and beer.


  • In France, Spirit represented the composer of the acclaimed film Triplets Of Belleville, secured tracks in ad campaigns for a major department store chain and arranged the hit collaboration, "Sientelo" between Lumidee and Speedy (Virgin)


  • In Canada we've had songs placed in a number of local film productions as well as several ad campaigns for Mars Bars, Molson Beer and The Ontario Tourism Board. Working with artists such as Jack Soul and Andrea Lewis our songwriters have been bestowed with several SOCAN Awards - the highest honor a songwriter can receive in Canada.
