Dear member of the VEVO VIP pre-launch mailing list,

You haven’t heard from us in awhile, but we’ve been hard at work building the new home for music videos online. We can’t wait to tell you about our launch plans later this year, but first, an update on our progress:

Today we’re announcing an investment from the Abu Dhabi Media Company, who now join Sony Music Entertainment and Universal Music Group as founding shareholders in VEVO. It’s an honor to bring in such a solid investment partner, and we’re confident ADMC has the vision and experience to help guide us through the many opportunities that lay ahead of us. As our President & CEO Rio Caraeff said in the release this morning, “It’s a credit to the music community, and to the global opportunity that VEVO represents, that we have been able to attract such a solid investment partner with the vision and track record of Abu Dhabi Media Company.”

This is the first of several announcements leading up to the launch of VEVO.com and VEVO on YouTube before the end of this year.

We want to create a better experience around music videos on the web than anything you’ve seen before – a true music video revolution. You can help us by letting us know what you think:
VEVO on Twitter
VEVO on Facebook

All the best,
Team VEVO
