The teams at UCM.ONE GmbH, headquartered in Berlin with additional offices in Hamburg and Mannheim, as well as a representative office in Zurich, UCM.ONE AT GmbH in Vienna, and UCM.ONE Ltd. in London, have stood for many years for the successful combination of marketing all types of physical and digital media content. At the end of 2017, UCM.ONE GmbH acquired a large number of brands, master rights, and film rights from daredo media GmbH in Mannheim, resulting in the UCM.ONE catalog now including, among other things, more than 20,000 music tracks and 2,500 films. In addition, UCM.ONE markets more than 25,000 image rights. The team at UCM.ONE focused on the digital marketing of electronic music from an early stage and was thus able to accumulate a wealth of expertise, which is now also being applied to film marketing. The focus is on global “intermedia” marketing, which aims for coordinated and integrated marketing for films (festivals, theaters, TV placements, non-commercial distributions, Blu-ray, DVD, EST, VoD, and FAST) or music (live performances, radio, CD, vinyl, MP3, and streaming). UCM.ONE also offers concepts and “special marketing” products for collaborations with third parties and operates its own theatrical distribution division.
The abbreviation UCM.ONE stands for “United Content Management.ONE” and is also the web address of the company.

UCM.ONE runs established music labels like Plastic City, Mole Listening Pearls, Noble Demon, UCA Records, Eastchild Records, Noom Records or Harthouse and released tracks and songs from hundreds of artists from the likes of Terry Lee Brown Junior, Der Dritte Raum, Kool & the Gang, Nostrum, Dawn of Solace, Commander Tom, The Timewriter, Alphawezen, Hardfloor, Zornheym, Naomi and Boris Brejcha. Besides variable marketing and promotion strategies for different bands and artists, each label works on its own under the administration umbrella of UCM.ONE. Several A&Rs and Product Managers are responsible for the bands and artists with their releases on the fitting labels, depending on the style of the music.
In the movie department, UCM.ONE operates successful film labels such as Darling Berlin, M-Square Picture, Artkeim², B-Spree Pictures, U1 Films Berlin, Zeitlose Filmkunst and NONFY Documentaries and prosecute an own theatrical distribution incl. booking and billing to the German cinemas. Starting with the release concept of a movie, including detailed marketing plans via budgeting and coordinating all promotion activities up to checking all possibilities of distribution funding and organizing the delivery process to cinemas, the whole process of releasing a film lies in one hand, and thus guarantees perfectly coordinated timing and the best possible marketing within the many exploitation possibilities that the movie business offers. The main difference between this concept of “intermedial marketing” and the currently applied approaches to commercial exploitation of media is not only the closer linkage between the different marketing possibilities – it rather starts at the very beginning with a special approach to the movie itself, and it ends after a development process with individual strategies, which have no restrictions by predetermined priorities in marketing whatsoever.
Since 2024, UCM.ONE has also been offering its digital film distribution services to external partners, affiliated companies and competitors. As an experienced aggregator, we bring films and series to the leading streaming platforms and video-on-demand services worldwide – transparently, reliably and with a clear focus on the optimal exploitation of your content.
