Nan Wilson

Nan Wilson started MAM in 2000 with a vision to bring together the primary facets of music royalty collection. Years of advertising experience with agencies, media buying and music production had revealed new, more efficient methods for collecting music royalties not yet pursued within the industry.

As an Assistant Buyer at Independent Media, Nan gained an in-depth knowledge of media planning and how broadcast traffic (both network and non-network) interrelate to the collection process.

At Jeff Layton Music, Nan was an Executive Producer overseeing the day-to-day operation of the music production process. From this experience she became committed to the idea of a composer having a successful business as well as a creative endeavor.

As a Music Business Manager at Grey Advertising Nan was intricately involved in all areas of music business affairs. Most importantly she gained a compassion for the stressful environment of ad agencies, which now helps her quickly navigate inevitable issues that slow the publishing process down.

Unique in the industry thanks to her particular combination of advertising experience, Nan and her team are able to offer MAM clients a big picture view with a surgical and a la carte approach to the publishing and collection process.
