The process for licensing commercial music into Film / TV / Advertising / Games (etc) has always been 100% manual (and famously complex).

 

Due to the recent – and ongoing - seismic changes in media, entertainment & content creation, this 100% manual licensing process is no longer entirely fit for purpose - and as a result, artists & songwriters are losing out.

 

Thankfully, there are now a number of platforms working to simplify the music licensing process – for the benefit of all artists, songwriters, labels & publishers.

 

In this Stack, music industry & sync veteran Tom Stingemore gives you an introduction to some of the leading companies that you need to know about, if you’re looking for ways to improve the outlook your sync business.
