AIM announces 2017 Sync Licensing to TV, Ads, Film & Games conference
18 October 2017 - Press releaseAIM’s annual sync licensing master class is to return to London on 20 November 2017 in association with DISCO, with a host of top industry figures from the worlds of TV, film, advertising and games lined up to speak.
The evening will open with a special keynote interview with Zach Cowie, Emmy-nominated Music Supervisor on hit shows and films including Master of None, Celeste & Jesse Forever, The Little Hours and State Like Sleep. Zach began his career working for independent labels including Touch & Go, Drag City and Sub Pop, so brings a unique insight on bringing independent music and visual media together. Zach also DJs internationally, often with DJ partner Elijah Wood under the ‘Wooden Wisdom’ moniker.
A panel discussion on synchronisation licensing will follow the keynote, exploring how to get independent music on TV, adverts, film and video games. Debate will cover the following areas:
- The process involved in placing a track
- What makes a track ‘sync-able’?
- What can labels do to improve their chance of achieving sync licences for their artists?
- What types of deal can be done? What kind of figures are involved?
- How is the sync licensing business changing?
- What are the Music Supervisors working on and looking for right now?

Verity Griffiths, Head of Sync, Cooking Vinyl

Zach Cowie, Music Supervisor ‘Master of None’
Rachel Menzies, Music Supervisor, Native Music Supervision
Claire Freeman, Music Supervisor, Crown Talent & Media Group

The panel will then take part in a listening session, with 10 tracks played and discussed from those submitted by audience members. Panelists will consider the sync suitability of the tracks and offer general advice to the labels on syncing the tracks. The evening will end with networking drinks.
The event will be held from 5.30pm-10pm on 20th November 2017 at Proud Camden,
