A LIVE, ONLINE MASTERCLASS

Apple is one of the world's most iconic brands. 

And, they are also one of the most secretive brands, which makes it hard to gain insight into why they choose the songs they choose for their commercials.

But what if there was a way to gain deep insight into the compositional qualities that shape many of the songs featured in Apple commercials?

And gain direct access to people who have licensed music to Apple?

At Sync Deconstructed: The Music of Apple, you'll learn from today's top experts in licensing & compositional analysis what some of the fundamental qualities an Apple spot include.

You'll also hear from individuals who have licensed to Apple themselves, providing you with unique insight into how they landed their Apple placements and what it's like working with Apple.

And at the end of the presentation, they will make time for your questions.
