Brian Lambert Appointed new EVP of Universal Music Publishing

Universal Music Publishing Congratulates Brian Lambert who was recently appointed by Even Lamberg (CEO ) to the position of Executive Vice President of Film and TV Music. Brian Lambert is well known to be one of the most prominent creative leaders in the Film and TV industry and has worked for major company's such BMG/Zomba Music/Jive records as their Vice president of Advertising, Film and Television.
In Lambert's new position, he will have a new set of departments reporting to him such as the, U.S. Film and TV creative department, Licensing, and Clearance department. Prior to being promoted to VP, Lambert oversaw Universal Music Publishing's entire synchronization department in U.S. Film and Television. In addition, with his 20 years of overall experience in publishing, Lambert has also generated revenue with his creative placements of commercials and other streams of income using the Universal vast catalog. My personal opinion about Publishing is that this business remains to be one of the most lucrative businesses in the entire industry. Especially now with all of the increased forms of media and technology, we find it easier to have our music placed and generate income. Some of the old ways of income include, records, music sheet paper, radio and film. Now, we have new forms such as, Internet radio, satellite radio, commercials, digital downloads and ringtones. As new VP in any publishing company, one must consider taking all of these new forms of media into consideration and use them effectively. With Lambert's experience, I have no doubt he will do this effectively. However, one thing that Lambert must keep on top of is his legal department and ensures that Universal’s catalog and is protected in all the forms of media to avoid infringement and possible lawsuit in regards to their music catalog.
