Case Study in Sync: Advertising

An in-depth behind the scenes look at the decisions that are made when selecting a song for a sync placement by dissecting specific examples of work by top music supervisors and music producers. We will break down ‘the brief’, discuss how tempo, tone/feeling, and theme play a role, examine the reason(s) a song gets selected or not selected, the importance of context in a song, and the lines between the lines. We will view multiple versions of campaigns to see the progression of decisions surrounding the music that was ultimately selected for the ad placement. This is an advanced look at sync placements.
