What we pitch for

Sync placement for film, television, advertising, trailers and games, and performance syncs for dance and theater. We pitch to music supervisors we work with, against real briefs.

Once something lands we handle the clearance and the paperwork. Master and publishing together, or master alone if your publishing sits elsewhere.

It starts with us listening to the record and telling you where we think it fits and where it does not. We pass on briefs the music is not right for. A catalog that gets pitched at everything stops getting opened.

How this starts

You write to us

Tell us about the record and send a private link. That’s the whole ask — no forms with forty checkboxes.

We listen and we talk

A real conversation about the release and whether we’re the right people for it. Sometimes the honest answer is no.

We scope it to the record

A plan built around what this release actually needs. No packages, no tiers, no minimum spend.

Most people find us through someone we’ve worked with.

If that’s you, we’d like to hear the record. If it isn’t, write anyway and tell us what you’re making — we read everything that comes in.
