ISABEL MANNING
SENIOR ACCOUNT MANAGER

I started at Footprint in 2016 as a Music Rights Coordinator, but soon progressed within the licensing team to become an Account Manager and then a Senior Account Manager in April 2023.  As a Senior Account Manager, I am responsible for handling multiple collecting society licence negotiations for our clients, with a particular focus on video on demand licensing across Europe, working closely with our key clients, NBC Universal, SkyShowtime and BritBox. In addition, I handle the licensing for many of our smaller broadcasters and streaming services with collecting societies in the UK and globally, including North America, India, and the Philippines.

In May 2023, I completed the Post-Graduate Diploma in Law from BPP University, gaining a Distinction. This follows my undergraduate degree in Music from Royal Holloway, University of London. I’m passionate about music and have an extensive performance background as a violinist and pianist, both with orchestras and on individual projects, and have always been keen to pursue a career in the music sector in some capacity.

Outside of work, I can be found visiting country parks or enjoying creative activities, such as painting. I also love to try new things (regardless of whether the outcome is successful!), and my other hobbies include Spirit (which is a mixture of yoga, pilates and meditation), performing music and listening to live music at concerts.
