Online music marketing group SonicBids, from Boston, and digital entertainment leader Gracenote, from San Francisco, came in second and third.
IMEA 2005 patron and jury member Herbert Gronemeyer said in a statement, “There are many people willing to see winds of change take hold in the recording industry. Personally, I welcome the idea of a forum for new companies to present themselves and their ideas, and for this reason I was delighted to accept the invitation to be on the panel at the Popkomm IMEA.” Gronemeyer is a German pop star and director of Gronland Records.
There were over 300 companies from 20 countries included in the Popkomm IMEA 2005 competition. –by CelebrityAccess Staff Writers
