If you’ve ever tried to get your music placed in TV, film, or advertising, you already know one of the hardest parts of sync licensing isn’t writing the music.

It’s figuring out who to actually send it to.

Most artists spend weeks trying to research music libraries, digging through outdated websites, or trying to figure out which companies are even accepting submissions. Half the time the information is old, the contacts are wrong, or the company stopped working with outside artists years ago.

That’s exactly why we created the 2026 Sync Licensing Music Directory.

We just finished updating it for 2026, and the new version now includes over 1,000 industry contacts across the sync licensing ecosystem. That includes music libraries, music supervisors, publishers, placement companies, and production company music departments actively working in film, television, advertising, and trailers.

On top of that, we added over 100 new listings for 2026 and refreshed a large number of existing contacts, so the information is current and up to date.

Instead of spending weeks researching companies one by one, you can start with a curated list of real contacts in the industry.
 

The 2026 Sync Licensing Directory includes:

Music Libraries
Production music companies and catalogs actively licensing music for television, film, advertising, and streaming content.
 

Music Publishers
Publishers with active sync departments representing writers and placing music in major productions.
 

Music Supervisors
The professionals selecting and clearing music for TV shows, films, streaming platforms, and branded content.
 

Music Placement Companies
Specialized sync agencies that pitch and place music on behalf of artists and composers.
 

Film & TV Music Departments
Direct access to music departments inside production companies and studios.
 

Trailer Houses
Companies responsible for the music in major film trailers and promotional campaigns.
 

If you’re serious about pitching your music consistently, having the right contacts can save you a huge amount of time.
 

But knowing who to pitch is only part of the equation.
 

Even when artists find the right companies, many lose opportunities because their tracks aren’t prepared properly for sync submissions. Libraries need music that’s organized and searchable so editors and supervisors can find what they need quickly.
 

That’s why we’re including a bonus this weekend.
 

Bonus: The Metadata Playbook

If you grab the directory before Sunday, you’ll also receive my Metadata Playbook, a guide that walks through exactly how to tag and organize your tracks so libraries and supervisors can actually use them.
 

A lot of artists send great music but lose placements because their metadata isn’t structured correctly. This guide shows you how to prepare your tracks properly before submitting them so they’re searchable, organized, and ready for professional catalogs.
 

Together, these two resources solve the two biggest problems artists face when trying to break into sync licensing.
 

First, knowing who to pitch.
 

Second, preparing your music correctly so it’s usable and ready to be licensed.
 

Normally the 2026 Sync Licensing Music Directory sells at the full price of $77.00, but this weekend we’re running a 50% discount through Sunday.
 

This is the last weekend we’re offering this discount for the time being, and the Metadata Playbook bonus is included free for anyone who grabs the directory before the promotion ends.

If you’re tired of spending hours trying to figure out who to pitch, this will save you an enormous amount of research time and give you a clear starting point.

If you want a deeper look at how music supervision actually works behind the scenes, I also recently interviewed veteran music supervisor Gary Calamar on The Sync Lab Podcast. Gary has worked on shows like Six Feet Under, Dexter, True Blood, Entourage, Weeds, House, The Man in the High Castle, Titans, and Netflix’s 3 Body Problem.
 

In the conversation he explains how music supervision really works, how songs end up in shows, and what supervisors actually listen for when evaluating music from independent artists.

Sync licensing isn’t about luck. It’s about positioning your music where supervisors and libraries can actually find it.
 

That starts with knowing who to contact and how to prepare your music properly.
 

If that’s something you want to start doing more seriously this year, the 2026 Sync Licensing Music Directory was designed to help you do exactly that.
