Advertising & Trailer Music Supervisor

Advertising and trailer music supervision demands everything film and television require, compressed into 15, 30, or 60 seconds. The music has to work immediately, emotionally, and memorably.

Chris brings the same depth of creative search and the same precision in sync licensing to every advertising campaign, theatrical trailer, and branded content project. His work includes countless advertising campaigns and multiple major film trailers.

• Theatrical and teaser trailer music supervision
• Advertising campaign music selection and clearance
• Branded content and digital campaign music
• Custom music and original composition coordination
• Fast-turnaround clearance for time-sensitive campaigns

A song cleared for a film is not automatically cleared for its trailer or marketing campaign. Those uses are licensed separately, with their own terms, media, and territory, and the rights holders may approve one without the other.

Bringing a music supervisor in early lets those conversations start before the cut is locked, when there is still room to choose a different song if a clearance falls through. For the full picture of how licensing works, see sync licensing and music clearance.
