About Feed Media Group
Feed Media Group (FMG) is dedicated to innovation in music licensing and distribution with one goal in mind: help businesses of all shapes and sizes create amazing user experiences with music. Building great experiences with music at the core has traditionally been challenging, as each use case requires different licenses, pricing is opaque and even when rights are secured, streaming, tracking, and paying rights holders can be difficult. We’re working with the industry to experiment with new solutions that serve everyone. We don’t see this as a zero sum game - rights holders, businesses, and consumers can all win.
Music drives tangible results for businesses, and we’re obsessed with understanding that impact.
We believe that music creates authentic connections, and we have proof that those connections aren’t just emotional. Music drives tangible results for businesses, and we’re obsessed with understanding that impact. Our platform for digital media solutions is built with the end user in mind. We make customers happy and that makes brands happy.
Our latest addition to the platform is Adaptr.com. Adaptr is a first-of-its-kind platform giving developers a place where they can easily and safely innovate with hit commercial music.
