Music Sync Clearance.
Start to finish.

We handle negotiations, paperwork, and rightsholder relationships so your team can focus on the work.

Get in sync

The clearance process is more complex than most teams expect.

Every piece of music in a commercial, branded video, or digital campaign requires permission from at least two parties: the publisher controlling the underlying composition, and the label or distributor controlling a specific recording. Rates vary by many factors including the territory and platforms where the content will appear, campaign duration, usage type and licensing history. Each rep and rights holder has their own preferences, timelines, and negotiating styles. One overlooked detail can delay a campaign or expose your brand to significant liability after launch.

That's where we come in. Clearinghouse Sync manages the clearance process from start to finish. We identify the rights holders, initiate outreach, negotiate fees that fit your budget and usage, review and execute license agreements, and maintain records that protect you if questions arise later.

Our team brings decades of combined experience and established relationships across a deep network of major labels, independent publishers and artist managers. We move faster and encounter fewer surprises than teams navigating this process on their own.

The risk of starting too late

Starting the clearance process early
protects your options.

Starting the clearance process early protects negotiating leverage and maximizes your creative flexibility. While we're happy to consult at any stage, the sooner we talk, the more options you have.
