Present in  over 60 countries and owning a portfolio of 50 prestigious labels, UMG  is the global leader in music. It has an annual turnover of nearly 5  billion euros and employs over 7,000 people in the world. This plan will  enable the company to maintain its profitable growth and continue to  play a leading role in the transformation of the music industry.  <!--more-->  <br \/> UMG will accelerate the monetization of music on digital channels,  broaden the reach of its audio and visual content through multiple  partnerships with platforms and strengthen its strategic relationships  with brands and sponsors. It will pursue its industry-leading track  record of talent management and development. UMG will also continue  investing in high-potential markets for music, such as Africa, India and  China.<\/p>\n<p> Key to this strategy is the fact that Lucian Grainge CBE, Chairman and  Chief Executive Officer of UMG, has committed to UMG and the Vivendi  Group for a further five years, until at least 2020. Appointed to his  current position in 2011, Lucian Grainge has held a variety of functions  within the music industry spanning over thirty years. After joining UMG  in 1986 to launch PolyGram Music Publishing UK, Lucian Grainge held the  positions of Chairman of Universal Music UK and Chairman and Chief  Executive Officer of Universal Music Group International. He spearheaded  the international expansion of UMG and the diversification of the  company&#8217;s activities.<\/p>\n<p> UMG is at the heart of Vivendi&#8217;s strategy to refocus the Group on media  and content creation and to be the preferred partner for all creative  talent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"normal\">Source: UMG<br \/>Image Credit: Creative Common License<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vivendi has agreed on a five-year development plan with the senior management of Universal Music&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5435","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5435","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5435"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5435\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5435"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5435"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5435"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
