CMG Worldwide, a global leader in intellectual property management and legacy representation, is the subject of a newly released business spotlight article.
The feature explores the evolving industry of posthumous celebrity representation and the rising importance of intellectual property (IP) in the digital age. Highlighting CMG Worldwide’s pioneering role, the article examines how the company helped build a framework for managing the names, images, and likenesses of cultural icons—from Elvis Presley and James Dean to Albert Einstein and Maya Angelou.
Founded in 1981 by attorney Mark Roesler, CMG Worldwide was instrumental in shaping the Right of Publicity and creating an entirely new business model around deceased celebrity representation. Over the past four decades, CMG has expanded its scope to include influencer talent, AI-driven licensing projects, valuation and litigation services, and global brand partnerships.
“We’re not just preserving legacies—we’re protecting and growing them,” said a representative from CMG Worldwide. “Our work is about honoring identity as intellectual property and helping it find new relevance in today’s world.”
The spotlight article provides readers with an accessible, thoughtful look at how names become brands and how agencies like CMG work behind the scenes to protect and commercialize their value. It also touches on important legal and ethical questions about digital resurrection, the ownership of identity, and the future of fame in an AI-driven world.
With the expansion of CMG's verticals—including the launch of Worldwide XR, CMG Talent, and Roesler Law—the company continues to lead innovation in legacy management, licensing, and entertainment law.
