Sony/ATV has re-upped its global pub pact with U.K. songwriter Ben Ash, known professionally as Two Inch Punch. Ash has written with Sam Smith, Rag'N'Bone Man and Jessie Ware, among others, and the new agreement covers his entire catalog, including future works. Pubco U.K. Managing Director and President Worldwide Creative Guy Moot commemorated the Punch pact by organizing an intramural fight club, about which, of course, we are forbidden to speak. Seen punching above their weight are (l-r): PMR's Ben Parmar and Daniel Parmar, Moot, Ash, SATV Head of A&R U.K. David Ventura, SATV Song Plugger Alice Vaughan and SATV U.K. General Counsel/VP Legal & Business Affairs Tim Major.
