CCS Rights Management is a Toronto-based, global independent music company specializing in music publishing, rights administration, artist development, creative services, neighbouring rights management, royalty collection, synchronization, and licensing for film, TV, advertising, games and other media.
Celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2021, the company was founded by respected industry veteran Jodie Ferneyhough, who envisioned a creative-centric company that puts artists and songwriters first with individualized creative attention and robust administrative services to maximize income, elevate careers, and protect the value of their rights. The company has grown 100% year-over-year since inception and continues to expand its global reach and presence in the U.S. with new signings of some of the industry’s most sought-after talent. Ferneyhough and the team are also well known for nurturing the careers of artists and songwriters that have won Juno Awards, SOCAN Awards, Country Music Awards, Much Music Video Awards, Grammy Awards, Latin Grammy Awards, among many other accolades.
In today’s music industry environment where conglomerates, private equity, and institutional investors are aggressively acquiring rights to increase market share and shareholder ROI, CCS conversely remains focused on enhancing the value of songs through developing talent, providing effective and gold standard administration, and working with valued partners from around the globe to deliver high quality creative opportunities. It offers a full range of services for its roster of award-winning and up-and-coming songwriters, artists, musicians, producers and labels, as well as world-leading media and production companies, and corporate brands.
