Imagem was founded in 2008 by Dutch firm ABP, one of the world's largest pension funds, in conjunction with Dutch independent publisher/media company CP Masters BV. It began by acquiring music publishing rights in a number of catalogues sold by Universal Music Publishing Group, such as Rondor, Zomba, BBC and 19 Music. This was followed by acquiring the world's leading classical music publishing company Boosey & Hawkes, and Rodgers & Hammerstein (containing the rights to stage and film musicals including The Sound of Music), and representing hundreds of works by writers including Irving Berlin.
Highlights from Imagem's catalogue include Phil Collins, Genesis, The Temper Trap, Vampire Weekend, M.I.A., and Daft Punk.
