MUMBAI: BlinkerActive, IRIS’s branded entertainment and music marketing agency, announced the launch of two new music licensing services: The first, NoiseClerk, is an online platform powered by SyncTank, specifically developed for mobile and web application developers, offering them advanced search functionality and immediate licenses for 10,000+ pre-cleared tracks. The second is the new BlinkerActive Music Synchronization services division, offering more traditional negotiated synch placements in film, TV, theatrical trailers, video games, and advertisements.
Synch licensing is an increasingly important source of revenue for the music industry,… says BlinkerActive Chief Marketing Officer, Bryn Boughton. While traditional placements in film, TV and commercials still comprise the bulk of the revenue pie, people are experiencing their music through applications at a rapidly growing rate. Since most app developers are unfamiliar with the music space, it leads to sub-par and sometimes illegal uses of music. We feel strongly that educating developers and making the licensing process simple and straightforward will foster the early stage growth of this community while greatly benefiting music rights holders….
IRIS’ branded entertainment and music marketing agency BlinkerActive has been operating since 2007 and has connected brands such as Chandon Winery, Electrolux, Stella Artois and Scion A/V with the right music for their marketing campaigns,… added Boughton. We already have the relationships in place, and we’re ready to offer these services more broadly….
