Unlock the power of music for your brand

The Simple, Legal & Affordable Way for Brands to License Mainstream Music for Short-Form Video

The Impact

Almost every content creator on the planet is already leveraging mainstream music to engage with their audience…

…so why should you be stuck with just stock music?

68% of TikTok users have better brand recall when they use music they like

96% more likely to be remembered if using music aligned with your customers identity

91% of top trending tracks on short-form social are mainstream, copyrighted tracks

The Solution

Social platforms can’t grant you the rights to use mainstream music legally, and many brands have fallen prey to lawsuits. So how do you get it?

You have 3 options:

  • Publish and hope for the best (prepare for the worst)
  • Stick to the same bland stock music your competition use

Or…

  • Let us easily and quickly secure the rights for you
