SongPad has teamed up with the Sync Opps Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/thesyncopps) to bring our members exclusive sync opportunities giving you a chance to have your songs featured in TV shows, films, commercials, and more, allowing your music to shine on a global stage. In addition, if your song is selected, you can earn substantial placement fees totalling thousands of dollars.
Mac McIntosh, Founder of Sync Opps Patreon, explains how he'sย developing new music sync opportunities with licensing partners:
๐ฆ๐๐ป๐ฐ ๐ข๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ isย a new ๐บ๐๐๐ถ๐ฐ ๐๐๐ป๐ฐ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ๐บ๐๐ป๐ถ๐๐ on Patreon. We work directly with ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฑ๐๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ (film, series, video, podcast etc), ๐บ๐๐๐ถ๐ฐ ๐๐๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ถ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐, ๐๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ผ ๐ด๐ฎ๐บ๐ฒ ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐น๐ผ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐, ๐ฏ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ๐ and ๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ to develop and deliver multiple placement opportunities to our members each week.ย
Many of the ๐น๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐๐ป๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ we are currently working with are existing clients from my work in music clearance and supervision via my company ๐ ๐๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐น๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ธ.ย
Each week we connect with our clients to find out what ๐ป๐ฒ๐ ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ท๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐ they have in ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐น๐ผ๐ฝ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐ and discuss what music needs they have for those and existing projects.ย
Here are a few areas we focus on to help our clients ๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ณ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐๐ ๐บ๐๐๐ถ๐ฐ for each project and ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐น๐ผ๐ฝ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฏ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ณ๐ that we share with our members.
- Summary or synopsis of the project description.
- Identify any music the producers or music supervisor already have in mind for the project.
- Discuss and suggest any specific genres or styles of music needed.
- Note any specific soundalikes or similar music moments they would like to include.
- What era or time period the project is based on.
- If a certain tempo or format is needed for the music, full songs or instrumentals.
- Discuss the type of rights they would prefer a music owner have in place.
- Offer clearance help for any music that has multiple rights owners as an option.
- Suggest term length options for each music license needed.
- Determine a realistic sync fee for the project based on all the above details.
- Finally set a deadline for music submissions that allows enough time to find the best options and complete any clearance work needed.
We then take all of this information and turn that into a ๐๐๐ป๐ฐ ๐ฏ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ณ ๐ผ๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐๐ป๐ถ๐๐ that we share with our members each week.ย
