Descriptiontext

Big Sync Music is a UK-based, privately held full-service music licensing and creative solutions company founded in 2013. It serves global brands, creative agencies, production companies, and government clients by unifying music and talent acquisition into a single managed service. The company offers services across music supervision, search and licensing, bespoke composition, partnerships and activations, re-records and remixes, sonic branding, and music strategy, and has built a roster of 250+ composers, vocalists, and Grammy award-winning producers.

The company's core product is its Enterprise Solutions platform — an all-in-one music licensing and management tool that combines project management, brand-specific customized music libraries, real-time data analytics, and on-demand access to music supervision experts. Its underlying technology layer is therefore primarily a workflow management and rights-clearing platform rather than a proprietary AI engine, with the differentiator being the integration of human creative expertise and a global music buying network into a structured enterprise offering.

Big Sync Music operates through a direct enterprise sales model with offices in nine cities across 11 territories (London, Los Angeles, Singapore, Sydney, Berlin, Paris, Stockholm, São Paulo, and Buenos Aires). Revenue is generated through professional services fees (supervision, production, strategy) and licensing royalties, with pricing structured as custom enterprise contracts (multi-year). The company has no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, and appears to be founder-owned, serving as a B2B intermediary in the music rights economy.
