Over the last few years Reverb has consolidated its position as one of the most successful Independent publishers around. Strong A&R, chart activity, an excellent synchronisation rate on a global level and dedicated administration, together with new client business ventures have seen the company evolve from the emergent position it held through the late 90s into a dynamic, modern publishing operation.

The company has enjoyed a regular market share since 2000, with frequent appearances in the Top Ten of Music Week's UK Publishers Chart and top reaches of the album and single charts. Reverb have been awarded 4 BMI Awards and 2 Grammy Certificates for nominated songs, and its catalogue has been licensed consistently and extensively on Films, TV, Ads and Multimedia worldwide since the mid 90s.

Reverb have songwriters and catalogues whose works cover a whole range of genres from mainstream pop, r&b, indie, rock, dance and electronica through chillout and classical crossover to jazz and 70s disco. The catalogue has been recorded by artistes as diverse as Il Divo, Razorlight, Paolo Nutini, Pussycat Dolls, Fionn Regan, Tiesto, Bananarama, Camille Jones vs Fedde Le Grand, Terry Callier, Art Brut, Will Young, Massive Attack, Christina Aguilera, Shayne Ward, Sugababes, Lemar, Roni Size, Anastacia, Robin Thicke, Daniel Bedingfield, Hayley Westenra, Will Smith, Siouxsie Sioux, Clay Aiken, Shakespears Sister, Prodigy, Justin Timberlake, Celine Dion, Jeff Beck, Midge Ure, Usher, Pavarotti and 50 Cent, and it publishes the cream of modern dance music with writer/producers/acts such as Apollo 440, Plump DJs, Justin Robertson and Narcotic Thrust, and classic 70s disco back catalogue from Biddu.

Reverb administers the catalogues of Hydrogen Dukebox, Lifted Publishing and Second Skin, sub-publishes for the UK Barbara Orbison's Still Working Music, legendary French jazz houses Label Bleu & Label Indigo and has joint ventures with FastCrowd Music, BChannel and Big Music. The Reverb group includes Leaf Songs Ltd and Reverb Music UK LLP.

Reverb's successful profile extends to the international arena. Its sub-publisher network is a mix of major corporates and leading independents, cherry-picked not only for their industry standing, but their ability to carry out Reverb's charter, creatively and administratively. Reverb competes at a major level on a global scale while retaining all the advantages of an Independent in the fast evolving world of modern music publishing.

In January 2007 with the merger of Reverb Music and sister company Reverb 2 Music, Annette Barrett was appointed Managing Director.

Reverb founder Ian Wright, a Board Member of both the MPA and MCPS and respected industry figure, died unexpectedly in the summer of 2007.
