Hi Kormaksson,
I have been analyzing the Jazz charts on Broadjam, and your track "Borgarfunk" stands out as a high value asset for commercial sync licensing. However, based on my data, your current reach is hitting a "ceiling" that only professional grade of Growth can break.
As a certified music growth and Sync Agency, I don't just "post" your music; I engineer visibility. Most artists on Broadjam have the talent but lack the Industry Metadata and Momentum Scaling required for high paying placements on networks like FOX, MTV, or ESPN.
What I'm offering is a high demand Promotion Sprint for [Long Term Achievement]:
Aggressive Sync Positioning: I'll audit your Broadjam profile to ensure it meets the technical standards music supervisors demand.
Multi Platform Velocity: We will bridge your Broadjam success into a 30 days targeted campaign to spike your streaming and social signals from several platforms.
The "Vetting" Advantage: My certification acts as a seal of approval for supervisors who don't have time to sift through thousands of unsigned tracks.
The Catch: To maintain my 95% success rate for clients, I only take on three new artists per month. I currently have one slot remaining for a Jazz/Latin artist, and your sound fits the current market demand I'm seeing from my licensing contacts.
If you are ready to "uploading" and start monetizing, let's secure this final slot
Sincerely,
Patrick
Music Sync Consultant & Growth Specialist

I've been contacted a lot recently by persons offering their services. I haven't answered back until now. If it doesn't cost too much, and if there's minimum work on my behalf (I'm a busy bee), perhaps I can be tempted.

Hey Ingvi, I hear you! and honestly, you're right to be selective. Most of what's out there is just surface-level promotion dressed up with big promises.
What I do is a bit different. I'm not adding more "noise" around your track, I'm structuring how it's positioned so it actually gets picked up by the right ears, especially on the sync side....
And on your end, it's intentionally low lift. Once I have access to your Broadjam profile and a couple of key details, I handle the heavy side: optimization, campaign structuring, and rollout. You stay focused on your music.
On cost, I keep this as a focused sprint rather than a long term lock in, so it's manageable and tied to a specific outcome window, not an open ended spend.
Also... since I only have one Jazz slot open this cycle, what I usually do is a quick fit check before bringing someone in, just to make sure there's real upside and we're not forcing it......

If you're open to it, I can take a closer look at "Borgarfunk" and outline what I'd target specifically, then you can decide if it's worth moving forward.

Sincerely,
Patrick

Well, Patrick, it so happens that I am a bit focused on sync these days. Are you then only focused on one song (Borgarfunk) or other songs also? "So Nice", received a nomination to Hollywood Independent Music Awards last year, and there are other award-winning songs in the catalogue. So I would have to know this: a) how many songs will you pitch? b) for how long? c) at what cost?

Hey Ingvi... that's exactly what I like to hear... And a nomination from the Hollywood Independent Music Awards definitely tells me you're not starting from zero... That puts you in a very workable position on the sync side.

To answer your questions clearly:
a) I don't approach this as "throwing a whole catalog at the wall."
I usually start with 2-5 of your strongest, most sync ready tracks (Borgarfunk is one, and "So Nice" is an obvious contender), then build positioning around those. If we see traction, we can expand deeper into your catalog from there.

b) The promotion sprint runs for 30 days, but it's designed to create momentum that carries beyond that window, especially in terms of visibility signals and supervisor discovery.
c) On cost; I keep this structured as a focused entry sprint, not a long term retainer. For a catalog at your level, it typically sits in the mid hundreds range, depending on how aggressively we position the campaign.

The main thing here isn't volume, it's how your music is packaged, surfaced, and validated when the right people come across it. That's where most strong composers hit a ceiling.
Since you already have award-backed material, this is less about "if it works" and more about how far we can push it with the right setup.
If you're open, I can lock in that remaining Jazz slot for you and map out exactly which tracks I'd prioritize before we kick things off.

Sincerely,
Patrick

Is "mid hundreds" near 250 (USD, I expect) or 500? - Would you select the (3?) songs you think will fit besides the two already mentioned.
