Sync Licensing for Brands, Film and TV

Original music and curated tracks, licensed across the UK, Europe and US.

Sync licensing for brands that refuse to sound ordinary. Film. TV. Advertising. Digital campaigns. We connect the right music with the right moment.

With direct relationships with music supervisors, creative directors and agency producers across Europe and the US, we don’t just pitch music. We understand briefs, we read rooms, and we know what works before you do.

Our catalogue spans cinematic orchestral, modern electronic, indie, world music and everything in between. Every track is composed and produced in-house or sourced from a handpicked roster of independent artists and composers. No filler, no generic stock music, just carefully curated recordings ready for sync licensing across any format or territory.

Music licensing for film and TV by Synchromusic

How it works

You send us your brief. We send you a curated shortlist, not a library search, not an algorithm. A human selection, made by people who have spent years understanding what makes music work in a commercial context.

Whether you need a single track for a social campaign or a full music supervision package for a broadcast series, we tailor our approach to your project. We handle licensing, clearance, stems delivery and adaptation to your timeline and budget. You focus on the creative.

Every sync licence is structured around your specific usage, territory, duration, platform and media type. No hidden fees, no complicated buyout structures. Just clear, transparent terms designed to make the process as simple as the music sounds.

The Sync Licensing Process

Every sync licensing project follows a clear process designed to get you the right music as quickly as possible.

Step one: you send us your brief. This can be as detailed or as open as you like. We need to understand the project, the tone, the audience, and any practical constraints such as budget, territory, and timeline.

Step two: we review your brief internally and pull a curated shortlist from our catalogue. This is not an automated search. Our team listens, discusses, and selects tracks that genuinely fit your project. You typically receive between five and fifteen options within 48 hours.

Step three: you review the shortlist and share feedback. If something is close but not quite right, we refine the selection. If you need alternative versions, stems, or edits, we can provide those quickly.

Step four: once you confirm your chosen track, we handle all licensing paperwork. We prepare a licence agreement tailored to your specific usage, covering territory, duration, media type, and exclusivity if required. No hidden fees, no complicated legal language.

Step five: we deliver the final assets. This includes the master audio file, stems if requested, and any alternative edits. We remain available throughout your campaign for additional support or future projects.

The entire process is built around speed, transparency, and creative partnership. Whether you need music for a global TV campaign or a single social media post, the approach stays the same.

How Sync Licensing Pricing Works

Sync licensing fees vary depending on several factors. Understanding these factors helps you plan your budget and ensures there are no surprises.

Territory is one of the biggest variables. A licence for the United Kingdom only costs less than a pan-European licence, which costs less than a global buyout. We can structure deals for single markets or worldwide usage depending on your campaign.

Media type also affects pricing. A licence for online and social media typically costs less than broadcast television. A cinema campaign or a major brand film sits at the higher end. We tailor every licence to the specific platforms you need.

Duration matters too. A licence for three months costs less than a licence for one year, which costs less than a perpetual licence. If your campaign timeline is uncertain, we can discuss options such as extensions or renewals.

Exclusivity is an optional factor. Most sync licences are non-exclusive, meaning the same track could appear elsewhere. If you need exclusivity for your sector or territory, this is possible but affects the fee.

Finally, the track itself plays a role. Catalogue tracks from independent artists are typically more accessible than tracks with major label involvement or well-known performers.

We provide clear quotes upfront with no hidden costs. Once you receive your shortlist, we include indicative pricing so you can make informed decisions before committing.

What we cover

Our sync licensing catalogue spans every genre and format you might need. Cinematic orchestral for automotive and luxury brands, contemporary electronic and indie for digital campaigns, world music and acoustic for lifestyle and travel, and everything in between.

Every track in our catalogue is either composed in-house or sourced from a handpicked roster of independent artists and composers we work with directly. This means we can offer flexible licensing terms, quick turnaround on clearances, and stems or alternative versions on request.

We cover all usage types: broadcast advertising, online video, social media campaigns, film and TV, branded content, retail and in-store, events and experiential. Whether you need a one-territory licence or a full global buyout, we structure the deal around your project.

Working across borders

With bases in London, Los Angeles and Rome, we have direct relationships with music supervisors, creative directors and agency producers across the UK, Europe and the US. We understand how briefs work in different markets and we know how to move quickly when deadlines are tight.

If you are a music supervisor looking for something specific, get in touch and we will pull a shortlist within 24 hours. If you are a brand or agency exploring options, browse our selected works to hear what we have placed for clients like Jaguar, LEGO, HBO and Disney+.

Sync licensing for brands vs libraries

Most music libraries offer volume. We offer curation. When you brief us, you get a shortlist of tracks selected by people who have spent years understanding what makes music work in a commercial context. No algorithm, no irrelevant results, just music that fits your project and your brand.

Our sonic identity and custom composition services are also available if you need something built from scratch rather than licensed.

Who we work with

As one of the leading music synchronization agencies in Europe, we work with advertising agencies, production companies, brands and broadcasters across the UK and beyond.

Whether you are a creative director looking for the perfect track, an agency producer under deadline, or a brand building a long-term music strategy, we bring the same level of care and expertise to every brief. See our selected works

Frequently Asked Questions

What is sync licensing?
Sync licensing is the process of licensing music to be synchronised with visual media such as film, television, advertising, video games, and online content. The term sync refers to the synchronisation of audio and visual elements. A sync licence grants permission to use a specific piece of music in a specific project under agreed terms.

How long does it take to get a sync licence?
For catalogue tracks, we can typically deliver a curated shortlist within 48 hours and finalise licensing paperwork within a few days. Urgent requests can often be turned around faster. Bespoke compositions require more time depending on the complexity of the brief.

How much does sync licensing cost?
Costs vary depending on territory, media type, duration, and exclusivity. We provide transparent quotes upfront so you can make informed decisions. Contact us with your brief and we will give you an accurate estimate.

Can I use the music exclusively?
Yes, exclusive licences are available for specific territories, sectors, or time periods. Exclusivity affects pricing but ensures your chosen track will not appear in competing campaigns.

Do you clear all rights?
Yes. We handle all clearances including master rights and publishing rights. You receive a single licence agreement covering everything you need, with no additional approvals required.

Can I request edits or alternative versions?
Absolutely. We can provide shorter edits, alternative mixes, or instrumental versions for most tracks in our catalogue. Let us know what you need and we will arrange it.

What territories do you cover?
We license music worldwide. Whether you need a single-market licence for the UK or a global buyout covering all territories, we structure the deal around your campaign.
