In 2017 the company received aggressive investment from GoDigital Media Group. This additional capital enabled Cinq Music to grow its rights portfolio through financing catalog acquisitions, advances to artists and to produce new forms of globally appealing music content. The first major acquisition announced was the catalog of Grammy winning rapper, actor, and entrepreneur T.I. which was purchased from Warner Music Group. In 2018 this was followed up with a deal with Janet Jackson and her Rhythm Nation Records.

Investments
Founded in 2008 by GoDigital Media Group as an internal movie and TV digital distribution business unit, GoDigital inc was created initially in 2010 by the merger of Might Entertainment which had an 850 movie library and GoDigital Media Group's digital movie and TV distribution business which had a complete retail supply chain.

For sports fans, type in the athletes name to hear fan reaction in real time. Users can also start their own live “Nedlcasts,” allowing themselves to build an audience by the words being said. There’s also a social media component, allowing nedl users to comment with Nedlcasters.”
About GoDigital
GoDigital Media Group
Twelve years ago, before iTunes, Netflix streaming, and YouTube, GoDigital Media Group Chairman Jason Peterson presupposed a world where consumers would jettison their CD’s and DVD’s in favor of digital entertainment. Six years ago he decided to do something about it, founding GoDigital Media Group (GDMG) as an incubator. Since then GDMG has founded five companies at the intersection of media and technology to help content owners manage, market, and monetize their product in a complex digital world. The companies are GoDigital inc, Cinq Music, AdShare, ContentBridge Systems, VidaPrimo, and most recently Media Aggregators. Several more are in the pipeline.
About GDMG
Transforming and Restoring The Media Business
It is no secret that the media industry is under duress as the result of the digital paradigm shift. Peterson sees four primary problems in the media industry: the Sales Problem, the Distribution Problem, the Marketing Problem, and the Engagement Problem. This translates to efficiently and effectively transacting rights, managing and fulfilling media to the consumer on any device, any network, anywhere in the world, cutting through the white noise of too much choice, and identifying, tracking, and monetizing consumer engagement. “As an industry, if we can solve these paramount problems then we will in all likelihood exceed the best days of physical goods” says Peterson.
Building A World Class Team
Peterson’s goal for each company in the GDMG portfolio is to arrive at the right team delivering the right product for the right market. “When you get alignment of these three items truly special things can happen”. To this end, GDMG has brought on board a world class team that includes the former head of global operations at Paramount, the largest law firm in the world, and a former managing director from Siemens, the German Fortune 50 engineering conglomerate.
