Lickd signs catalogue deal with Warner Chappell

Lickd has agreed a new partnership with Warner Chappell Music

The collaboration will give YouTube creators access to the publisher’s full music catalogue, expanding the number of commercial tracks that can be used in their videos. 

Through the Lickd music licensing platform, users will be able to add pre-cleared songs from WCM’s music catalogue to their YouTube content. It means that content creators have more opportunities to generate revenue and increase audience engagement and retention. 

Paul Sampson, CEO of Lickd, said: “As we continue to commit to make it easier for YouTubers and other online creators to licence commercial music for use in their videos, we also are dedicated to ensuring that Lickd holds the widest, most versatile, and popular selection of tracks available. Signing the latest deal with Warner Chappell Music gives creators more access to great artists but also gives those artists greater exposure to fans. We’re very excited about the opportunities this partnership presents for all parties.”
