When your are being heavily promoted people in your area will begin talking about you and your music. They will be able to associate closer to your brand and you can establish an emotional element to connect with the targeted audience. After your personalised music is buzzing, it will be a viral effect naturally that people tell their friends pretty much about your brand, thus promoting and distributing your music.

Into this turbulent market have entered a number of established brands but also some new brands going into the traditional medium of promoting themselves. Consumers do not want to see the normal advertising and promotion any more. They need an emotion association and music can bridge this gap.

With a philosophy of community spirit and openness, these new brands are trying to connect with consumers in a way that the established major players have not yet managed. This direct connection is crucial, both to consumer and retailer, and this has not changed since the days of traditional advertising media and channels.

To help customers through this huge amount of independent and often undiscovered content, the new digital music brands are creating a true community network. In conjunction with many well known experts and major players of the industry the philosophy is about getting the consumer involved like never before.

Aiming to mix both massive choice with personal recommendations, the new brands have a mission to bring the experience of the small new shop back into the forefront of consumers minds, and maybe bring back the love of hearing and discovering new music all over again.

You will gradually be able to see how brands are able to communicate their message uniquely and effectively through music. This is a traditional message medium but packaged under personalized music. It is the delivery that makes the difference, that makes your brand stands out.

Pitch Your Original Song to a Brand

Founder of music crowdsourcing platform, Express In Music, Jerry Chen, 26, had seen many international musicians deprived of getting their songs engage by commercial brands. The difficulty of independent artistes reaching out to organizations for commercialization is a common sight.

Co-founder, Adriel Chan, 26, echoed his thoughts, “There are millions of artistes emerging year on year, each of them are trying to stand out and be recognized in their area of music, especially those who produces original songs. Where do these songs end up most of the time?”

In a bid to elevate opportunities for musicians of different spectrums from composers, lyricists to sound engineering, Express In Music online platform had been in constant pursuit to create jobs of such nature.

Recently some open projects were voiceover for international brand, Fisherman’s Friend and a music rearrangement project for a Singapore primary school. These had all garnered good responses from fellow talents internationally which range from the USA, United Kingdom to South East Asia region.

This had prompted the company to hold a music competition, “Pitch Your Original Song to a Brand”. The idea is in search for original songs to be match up with any brands internationally or locally known. Musicians can match the elements of their original music with a brand that have the same characteristics. It is in the pitch for brands to endorse and recognize that these music pieces sent in can be original theme song for their products or services in line with their communication needs.

Currently, the company had successfully clinched clients mainly in Asia such as GSK, Far East Organization, HSR Properties, Super Coffee and Bioskin.

“This unique approach allows musicians all over the world to customize songs for any brand they wish to highlight for endorsement. Commercial organizations are also then contacted to let them know of the availability of musicians having original pieces that can be used for the advertising and promotional needs,” Mr Chen said.

Musicians can now write songs not only for leisure purposes but writing a song with an added commercial impact.

For this one-of-a-kind music contest, we had put up an attractive proposition of giving up to $1,000 of shopping spree to the winning musician. The winner will be able to buy any music-related items such as recording studio hours, music software or instruments, as long as it helps fulfill their music dreams.

Both founders of the online platform, http://www.ExpressInMusic.com believes that it will be exciting and interesting to see that eventually brands are aware that besides cover songs by well-known artistes, there are still many original musicians who are able to make the cut and create engaging music for their brands.

The contest had started on 10th April 2011 and will end 7th May 2011. In less than one week, the company’s fan page on Facebook had increased by more than 1,500 due to this campaign. They believe that in the next few days, more than 10,000 fans will be on their social media page as a result of this contest.

Mr Chan said the approach is based on how musicians view certain brands. Their music can enhance this perception that best represent the brand or organization. He acknowledged that Express In Music platform is in its 2nd year as a humble start-up which bridges musicians with jingles, voiceovers and other music production opportunities on this crowdsourcing model.

Can You Crowdsource Music?

There are many websites and communities that crowdsource creative projects. Most of these platforms focus on graphic design work where companies can go for logos and other creative marketing concepts. ExpressInMusic is setting out to prove that crowdsourcing can also be valuable in the music world.

Founded by two friends in Singapore and launched in February 2009, ExpressInMusic is hoping to attract companies that seek original music to compliment their brand advertising. Founders Jerry Chen and Adriel Chan created ExpressInMusic in the hopes of giving musicians from all over the world an opportunity to gain recognition as well as to make some extra money.

Companies can submit specifications to ExpressInMusic whose community of musicians reply with their original demo tapes. The company then chooses its favorite and the song will be recorded either professionaly or in a home studio. The basic package will cost clients $600 while the professional package will be priced at $1500. Musicians are compensated up to 60% of the sale price.

The original music can be used in television commercials, radio jingles, corporate videos, or social media campaigns. ExpressInMusic has also been used to create music for movies and video games. Some clients have even been non-business entities looking for original songs written specially for their loved ones.

ExpressInMusic has managed to raise funding from Spring Singapore and hopes to expand its business in the near future. It remains to be seen whether crowdsourced music can find the same level of success that crowdsourced design has enjoyed.
