Some partnerships start in boardrooms.
Ours started in a hardcore/punk band.
Marcel and Nicholas have been friends for three decades playing shows in a band called Oil all across the globe.
Years later, their paths crossed again professionally at Sizzer Amsterdam, where Marcel served as Partner and Strategy Director while Nicholas took the helm as Managing Director. Their shared experience in music and licensing made one thing clear: sync licensing needed fixing.
Add a brilliant tech innovator to the mix, and Ringo was born.
