Music for
advertising.
Does your ad, corporate film or campaign need music nobody else has? We compose it for exactly this project, matched to edit, mood and brand, and deliver it with stems, cutdowns and cleared usage rights.

Request music →Original music instead of stock.
Stock music is quick to find, but others use it too, and it rarely fits the edit exactly. Music composed for your film follows it: it hits the moments the picture needs, leaves room for the voice and belongs to your brand rather than to a library.
We compose and produce at our main studio in Frankfurt and at our recording studio in Cologne, where we also record bands and drums live. As a rule we compose ourselves. For specific genres and instruments we bring in specialists and session musicians from the Talent & Resources Catalog of the Campera Media Atlas, our own directory, for every instrument and every genre. Examples include the music for the Mercedes-AMG and Guide MICHELIN brand film and the Mangal x Podolski launch.
Music for
your project.
Composed to picture
We write to the edit: tempo, arc and accents land where the film needs them. If the edit changes, we adapt the music.
Style by reference
Got references that capture the mood? We use them as a direction and write an original piece, not a copy of a protected track.
Real instruments
Instruments and vocals recorded live with session musicians from our network, at the studio in Frankfurt or Cologne.
Cutdowns and stems
Long and short versions, for example for TV, online and social, plus stems so edit and mix stay flexible.
Rights cleared
Buyout or licence based on usage, agreed in writing before production starts. How the music is handled with collecting societies is also settled in advance.
Mixed with voice and sound
On request we mix music, voice-over and sound design into the finished spot, ready for TV, cinema, online and radio.

Frequently asked questions
about music for advertising.
It depends on length, instrumentation, the number of versions and above all the usage rights, meaning where and for how long the music runs. You receive a quote in advance.
That depends on the offer: a buyout gives you comprehensive usage rights, a licence covers the usage you actually need. We agree in writing what fits before production starts.
No, we do not write copies of protected tracks. We capture the mood with an original composition. If it has to be that exact song, we take care of the licence.
That depends on who composes and how the music is used. We settle it before production starts so there are no surprises later.
That is normal. We adapt the music to the final edit so transitions and accents land again.
Yes. One composition gives you long and short versions, loops and stems, for example for TV, online and social.
This is music for one specific project. If it should become a musical system across all your brand's channels, music production for brands is the right framework.
It depends on scope and feedback rounds. Tell us your deadline and we plan backwards.
