Warner Music Group (WMG) has reorganized its global sync operations and promoted Ron Broitman to lead them, bringing its recorded music and publishing teams under a single structure.
Broitman, who has spent nearly 17 years at WMG, will serve as president of global sync, based in Los Angeles.
Leadership and responsibilities
Broitman will report to Warner Music chief operating officer Tom Corson, with additional strategic oversight from Warner Chappell head Guy Moot.
His remit covers sync employees across:
- Atlantic Music Group
- ADA
- Warner Records Group
- Warner Chappell
The division’s responsibilities include sync pitching, marketing, licensing, administration and data analytics.
“Unifying our teams makes us a stronger partner for our clients,” Broitman said.
He said the combined operation would make licensing the company’s global library easier and faster, and thanked Corson and Moot for their support.
Moot said the structure would bring publishing and recorded music closer together, while Warner Chappell’s team would remain embedded in the sync business to maintain its focus on songwriters and creative pitching.
Sync revenue and licensing activity
The change follows other restructuring initiatives at WMG. It also comes as US recorded music sync revenue reached $231.8 million in the first half of 2026.
That represents an 18.2% increase from a year earlier, according to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
The figure may not capture all licensing involving music paired with visual media, including social media agreements.
Elsewhere in the sector, MAIA Universe has secured licensing agreements and a strategic investment from Bjorn Ulvaeus.
Additional copyright infringement lawsuits have also targeted brands accused of using protected music in social videos without authorization.
