Syncstate is coming to PITCH Scotland 2026, sponsored by @disco.ac

Drygate Brewery, Main Hall
Friday 04 September | 12:00–13:30

Create a music pitch for the supplied :30 Mercedes advert, with your track mixed and laid back to the video. The top 10 submissions will be selected by music supervisors to be played and discussed during the live panel at PITCH 2026.
The full musical brief, advert and submission details are included in the sign-up form, which has been sent by email to PITCH PRO Pass Holders.

Sign up via the link in your email.

Getting placed and getting paid are two different jobs. Most artists only prepare for the first one.

Your cue sheet is the document that tells the PRO who to pay and how much. If your writer names, splits, publisher info, or PRO registration are messy, the placement can still happen and the royalty can still get lost.

Save this before your next sync pitch. Free sync pitch checklist linked in bio.

Every artist trying to get a sync placement is chasing the music supervisor. That is exactly the wrong move.

Music supervisors are not talent scouts. They are solving a production problem under a deadline. When a brief comes in, they go to people they already trust, not a cold submission from an unknown artist.

The actual entry point is a sync agent. They already have those relationships. They know what supervisors are working on before the brief is public. You are not cold submitting to a busy inbox. You are being introduced by someone that person trusts.

That is a different game entirely.

Save this and learn the actual access chain before you send another cold email.

Most independent artists want sync placements. Very few of them know that the music is not the first thing a supervisor checks.

Before a music supervisor will listen to your track for a placement, they need to know that licensing it will not require three emails, two lawyers, and a clearance chase that delays the project by a month.

That is called one-stop clearance. You control both the master and the composition. No uncleared samples. No missing co-writer registrations. No loop pack used under the wrong license.

If any one of those is broken, your track is off the table before it gets a real listen.

Most artists chasing sync don't know there are 6 completely different types of placements with completely different fee structures.

A reality TV placement pays $500. A trailer placement pays $100,000. The type you target matters as much as whether you get placed at all.

Slide through and save this before your next pitch.
Follow for the full sync income framework.

On Thursday May 7th, 2026 @wearesyncstate presented by @disco.ac launched its inaugural event. Syncstate is where sync stops being theory and becomes interactive, the Super Bowl of sync events at Departure Festival + Conference, featuring some of the biggest sync licensing professionals in the world.

It turns Departure’s international footprint into a curated marketplace where artists, rights holders and brands move from panels, live briefs, listening rooms and curated networking straight into real placements and partnerships.

Our headline event named “Battle of the Music Supervisors & Sync Agents” moderated by @joshrabinowitz joined by @sendtunesplz, @mark.garfield1, @cheryllink13 , @danicabansie edited by @evanmiless joined by @syncsummitig was a HUGE success.
Special thanks to @jedi_fm & @pat_murphy . Special thanks to Matt Ives and his Production Team.

@sendtunesplz came out with the win!

…most importantly our Syncstate Team @raqueloutloud, @amberjmusic & @beatcave.ca
