Popular Song Licensing Services...

Brock Music has been in business since December 1979 and has been researching and negotiating popular song licensing for nearly as long. Our ability of persuasion coupled with fined-tuned knowledge of a particular song’s actual worth in the market place, as well as an acute sense of intuition, has put Brock Music in high demand for this sometimes tedious and patience-testing chore.

Negotiating with a publishing company that “likes its song a lot” is an art. And it’s a job that should not be relegated to an agency broadcast assistant. Even capable broadcast department personnel who are regularly involved in the negotiation process often act merely as information-gatherers. It’s not in their job description to “play hardball”.

Brock Music plays hardball while, at the same time, making our “adversary” into our friend. Our objective is to get the song you want at the right price. One recent negotiation resulted in a 200% discount to the agency off the publishing company’s original-quoted price. Negotiated discounts of 20-50% or more have come to be expected from Brock Music by agencies big and small. Using Brock Music from the very start of the process will make it easiest to get the results you want.

Of course, if the agency desires only to license the song, not the performance, Brock Music has the ability to capture the essence of that song “in period” or as a completely new arrangement, as evidenced

 
   
 

by the myriad of song makeovers we’ve produced. And we will credit you back our research / negotiation fees if we create the new tracks. Our research also extends to music in the public domain.

When it comes to hardball licensing negotiations, you WILL save time and money by using Brock Music.
