If you want to break into the world of advertising, build real connections with decision makers, and get your music heard and placed in campaigns for top brands, the Music in Ads course is your path to success.

This is the only immersive, eight-week course of its kind, designed to give you the practical tools, insider knowledge, and direct guidance you need to succeed in advertising—a world of music very different from film, TV, or streaming.

The program is led by two of the most respected figures in music and advertising:

  • Joshua Rabinowitz – former head of music at Young & Rubicam and Grey, who has placed and composed over 10,000 songs for major ad campaigns and brands over three decades.

  • Mark Frieser – Founder of Sync Summit, veteran music supervisor, sync agent, brand manager, marketer, and ad producer for companies like IDT, Nielsen, and leading global brands.

Together, they’ve distilled decades of hard-won experience into a hands-on course that shows you exactly how brands and agencies use music—and how you can make them use yours.

What You’ll Get

  • Eight weeks of intensive, two-hour live classes covering every stage of the process: from creative ideation to licensing deals and brand partnerships.

  • Weekly office hours with Josh and Mark for one-on-one guidance, feedback, and career strategy.

  • Action-based weekly exercises using real briefs, group projects, and presentations to brand managers and ad creatives.

  • Insider insight into how brands and agencies make music decisions, and how you can stand out.

  • Step-by-step training on preparing your catalog for ads: research, pitching, metadata, negotiation, contracts, and ad-specific licensing.

  • Downloadable reference docs and templates to guide your workflow, deals, and career.

  • Video archives of every class and office hour—so you can revisit the material anytime.

This is not theory—it’s an actionable roadmap to becoming a trusted music partner for agencies and brands.
