TRACK 3: Relationship Building Track

Building genuine connections with music supervisors requires understanding their workflow and needs.

💡 Core Principle: Networking isn't collecting contacts—it's making friends who work in music.

Understanding Music Supervisors

Music supervisors receive hundreds to thousands of emails daily and work under tight deadlines.

What They Need:

• 100% certainty songs won't get networks sued
• One-stop cleared music with documented splits
• Fast turnaround (sometimes under 1 hour for stems)
• Quality over quantity in communications
• Authentic relationships, not aggressive sales pitches
• Berklee Music Licensing 101 - Expert panel

Pitching Best Practices

The Perfect Sync Pitch:

• Keep emails under 5 sentences
• Focus on THEIR project, not your achievements
• Never attach MP3s—use streaming links only
• Research their recent work and reference it genuinely
• Include contact info and licensing terms clearly
