A few jobs for the music in a brand film
Urgency without drama
The New York Times video at the top had to feel urgent and keep moving without getting dramatic. The score runs on live drums, percussion, and synthesizers, picks up during fast cuts, and makes room for quiet moments, like the 1969 front page about the moon landing.
Sounds from the brand itself
The New York Times gave us recordings of typewriters and keyboards from its own newsroom, and we used them as part of the rhythm.
Space for the people speaking
When employees tell their own story, the music steps back. In a campaign video for Janssen × Johnson & Johnson, the pharmaceutical companies of Johnson & Johnson, we kept the music simple and steady, so every story stays easy to follow.
What your film is about
Your film may be about a launch, a hiring campaign, how the company started, or something else entirely. We start the first demos from that story. Tell us about it.

A few things to know before you hire
When to start
Start before there is picture: a script and a few reference tracks are enough for first demos.
One team for music and sound
Besides the music, we design the sound effects and mix them with the voices. You brief one team and get the finished soundtrack back.
Anything else you want to know
If your question isn't here, ask us before you decide. Someone from our team will answer it.
Questions about brand film music
Who chooses the music for a brand film?
Usually the director and the brand team decide together, often with the agency. Our demos go to all of them at once, so everyone has a say while the story can still change. Send us the script or the edit to start.
Do you also compose music for corporate videos?
Yes, like internal videos for Tommy Hilfiger and for the legal information company LexisNexis. Send us the script or the edit.
What is the best music for a brand film?
Music that follows the story: it picks up when the edit speeds up and makes room for the quiet moments, like in The New York Times video at the top. Tell us about your film.
What makes a good brand film composer?
Someone who writes to picture and to the brand: music that carries the story and fits the company behind it. Ask to see brand films they scored. See our work, then send us your script or edit.
