The mediapeers exchange is a secure, easy to use system that will generate more revenues for our clients and the cost benefit in using this platform is vast.”

“Fintage is the de facto standard for representing rights owners in the audiovisual industry. This achievement shapes our aspiration as a trusted service provider serving the entire market,” adds co-founder Moritz Viehweger. mediapeers has already taken several steps towards achieving this goal.
