LAST CLASSES: THE MUSIC IN ADS CLASS AND OUR SYNC SESSIONS CLASS

After five years, after these next two classes, we're going to end our sync classes, so if you are interested in joining us, this is your last opportunity to sign up. The classes are: The New Music in Ads and Brands Course with Mark Frieser and Joshua Rabinowitz – a comprehensive eight week course on navigating and succeeding in the world of music, ads and brands – Classes start September 19th.


If you’re interested in succeeding in the business of music for advertising and brands, you need to know who the decision makers are in advertising and brands, but how they work, their expectations, their concerns, their work environment, their priorities and how, by knowing these essentials, you can prevail in a very lucrative and competitive market.



The Music in Ads and Brands course takes you through eight two-hour lessons covering all the aspects of music in advertising, from a breakdown of how the industry works to the ideation process, sonic branding, music pitching, music creation, experiential marketing, sync, custom music, contracts, networking, business development and practical one-on-one instruction in weekly office hours.

This class is designed and taught by ad industry veteran Josh Rabinowitz, who headed up the music departments at two major ad agencies, Grey and Y&R, and Mark Frieser, a Clio-award winning sync agent, music supervisor and former brand manager at several public companies – we know the advertising business, how it works and what you need to know to work in the business successfully.



If you want to learn more about our course, and how to join us so you can get the knowledge and tools you need for success in ad and brand music, click this link to register – the entire course is priced at $999 – 50% off the standard $1999 rate.



OUR FINAL 21-WEEK SYNC CLASS: Winter Sync Sessions Registration is Open – 21 Weeks of Classes and Listening sessions for $499 – 50% off the $999 Rate Until August 20th – Classes Start January 26, 2025 and End May 18, 2025.




We launched the Sync Sessions Classes as an effort to provide everyone who makes or works with music, from musicians to sync agents to aspiring music supervisors the ability to learn the business fundamentals of music creation and licensing for media, and to put these fundamentals into practice by making connections with and delivering music to music supervisors and other decision makers in TV, film, streaming, sync agency, advertising, social media, games, trailers and other media. And we’re going to do one final version of our 21-week course – early discounted registration is open now.



By Joining us for the Winter Sync Sessions, you’ll get access to eight two-hour listening sessions with over 20 music supervisors, sync agents and decision makers from across every form of media, 14 two-hour classes covering every vital aspect of how music for media works on a creative level, who the decision makers are, how to connect with them, how they expect you to prepare and deliver your music and how best practices lead to long-term success.



In addition, the Winter Sync Sessions include industry documentation like glossaries, sync agency lists, a metadata guide, contract templates, presentations as well as weekly live office hours so you can speak with me personally to discuss questions you have in a one-on-one format and archives of every class, listening session and office hours. 



And, I’ve lowered the price back down to the introductory rate of $499 from $999 until August 20th as I want to make this course as affordable as possible for everyone that wants to sign up. Honestly, I’ve never seen a sync course providing this many benefits priced this low – including ours. Many of the courses out there are in the $2000-$5000 range and don’t offer nearly the breadth and scope of benefits we’re offering at this price.



This is the very last time that we’ll offer this class, and registration is limited to twenty students, so if you want to join us for our final Sync Sessions class, I urge you to click this link to sign up now before we sell out.
