We provide music clearance and supervision for advertising only.
We are the go-to experts in this highly specialized field for over 30 years.
Rest assured that everything’s cleared and agreements are in place for your project: music publishing, master rights, talent/vocalist’s/estates permissions, all (applicable) union obligations, including SAG-AFTRA and AFofM payroll processing. We also handle all non-music rights clearances: photography, fine art, film clips and copyrighted literary work and film and TV scripts. Regardless of the union status of your production, you are 100% covered.
Drawing from a vast network of indie and major labels, agents and managers, we provide fine-tuned music searches for every kind of advertising project: from international multi-media campaigns to small one-off music uses on your company’s website; to social media and pre-roll ads. We understand that using an artist’s vocal performance in an ad is an implied endorsement of your product, and this issue is taken into consideration before we submit any tracks for your consideration.
