I'm Sarah Gavigan, and I have placed literally thousands of indie and unsigned artists to TV ads.
In my 20 year career I have been an Agent, founded the first company to represent Indie Artists to Advertisers for licensing, taught at a University, and consulted for Labels and Publishers all over the world on music licensing.
You have found the online community I founded to share my career's knowledge with YOU on how to GET YOUR MUSIC LICENSED.
Enter your email in the box to your right and I will give you one of my training videos on the TOP TEN MISTAKES musicians make when they submit their music for licensing.
Thanks for joining and I look forward seeing you online!
Your Friend,
Sarah
Your Friend,
Sarah
Sarah, your website, GetYourMusicLicensed.com and facebook page have helped me tremendously on my journey in music licensing. Your video, Top Ten Mistakes was helpful to me in honing down the way I contact music supervisors. I'm guessing there are music sups out there that would thank you Sarah, for saving them from my potentially annoying follow-up method. Hopefully I've found ways that are both more fun and fruitful for everyone. I tribute a few of your ideas to successfully contacting the music supervisor's of three of my favorite television shows of all time!
Aliza Juliette
Manager for Craig Bancoff-Great Americana Music I totally appreciate the work you put into explaining the do's and don't's in music licensing, I've gotten a lot of great advice from you already, and it's always fun and easy to read your newsletters.
Maike Both
Crows Nest Management Sarah helped me place music in probably 20 commercials over just a few years. I'm not sure there's anybody better at it.
Jim Greer
Musician My partner and I license and compose original music for TV, film, & commercials. We have had the pleasure and good fortune of working with Sarah on a number of her projects. Her connections, experience, and insight are invaluable and have repeatedly given us the edge. If you're lucky, she'll enlighten you with a few gems that only an industry vet with her expertise and talent can serve up. If you're serious about getting your music in commercials, TV and film and expect to walk away with a real world understanding, this series is definitely for you.
Ian Dalsemer
Musician and Partner - The Elements Sarah's former company, Ten Music, was redCola's Agent in the world of commercials for almost 10 years. She procured countless opportunities for us and wisely guided us through the process from beginning through the end (and there's a lot more to it than just making the right music). Sarah knows what she's talking about, she lives it, she loves it. I couldn't think of a better person to give insight into this field of Music Business.
Damir Price
Composer and Partner at redCola Music Sarah has always been great to work with. If it's not her knowledge or attention to detail, her respect and professionalism will simply amaze you. She has a great passion for music placement, choosing to focus on quality rather than quantity. I believe someone of this caliber providing her insight into licensing, publishing, etc. will only benefit those who are willing to listen. She might just teach you a thing or two about diligently managing your music.
Benjamin Chan
Head of Licensing, Last Gang Records Sarah rocks. Smart, funny and with REAL WORLD experience working with the best people in music, advertising and marketing.
Rob Schwartz
Chief Creative Officer TBWA/CHIAT/DAY Los Angeles DO NOT MISS THIS INSTRUCTOR'S INSIGHT. Sarah Gavigan has helped our Advertising Agency, Goodby Silverstein & Partners in many many ways with licensing, getting original-new bands to do demo tracks and has tracked down music owners to the far ends of the earth for us.
Josh Reynolds
Senior Broadcast Producer - Goodby Silverstein & Partners Sarah's one of the most knowledgeable and most well connected people in the commercial music industry. There are few people alive who understand this field as well as her. With a complete passion for both the “music” and the “business”, Sarah is able to speak each language fluently. Particularly in an age where artists are in dire need of solid revenue streams that do not compromise their artistic values, this is one panelist whom could provide direct actionable insight into this world.
Daniel Berkal
Owner - The Palmerston Group Sarah is outstanding. Brains + passion + taste + very high level of understanding of what it takes to make things happen in the advertising/entertainment/music business. Don't miss this opportunity. She has not only helped make our productions work better but has helped our pitches and presentations sell thru. She's among the smarter people I know and have learned quite a bit from her. I highly recommend her series.
Darren Foldes
Executive Producer - Green Dot Films I interned for Sarah and it was a tremendous experience. I came into music supervision with little knowledge about the industry and within a few weeks, with the help of Sarah, I became well versed in the practice. I go to U.C. Berkeley currently, and I believe that what I learned from Sarah has turned out to be more relevant and useful to working in the real world. This is her domain and she makes it really accessible, exciting, and fun. She's with out a doubt crucial to this conversation.
