“MUSIC IN ADVERTISING”
PRESENTED BY THE CALIFORNIA COPYRIGHT CONFERENCE
Music in advertising, no longer the domain of jingles and “selling out,” has rocketed into a strong revenue stream and creative way to break new artists. And the ever-changing media landscape has created new and more venues in which advertising can get views. But with change comes some uncertainty…
- How should licensors be charging fees in this new, multimedia world?
- Is an internet spot equal in clout to one on network TV?
- What about ads on streaming services?
- Should a “skippable” ad be licensed for the same fee as one that’s not?
Our panel of advertising music supervisors and licensors will discuss these issues and more, so now you’ll be at the forefront of this vast new landscape as well.
