Sync License for Brand Campaigns
License Nanashino-chan lo-fi music for brand campaigns, campaign videos, paid social ads, product launches, sponsored content, influencer campaigns, and commercial video campaigns.
A brand campaign is usually broader than a normal organic post. If music is synchronized with campaign visuals and used for paid media, sponsored promotion, launch assets, or multi-platform distribution, a sync license is often the correct starting point.
Why Brand Campaigns Need Sync Licensing
A brand campaign usually has a clearer commercial purpose than a normal social post. It may promote a product, service, launch, event, seasonal message, client campaign, paid partnership, influencer deliverable, or advertising strategy.
When music is synchronized with campaign visuals, the license should reflect the real campaign use: platforms, paid distribution, duration, client involvement, promotional purpose, territory, and media scope.

What Counts as a Brand Campaign?
Brand campaigns can be short, social-first, product-driven, seasonal, influencer-led, or multi-platform. The key point is that the video supports a promotional campaign or commercial objective.
Paid media
Paid social ads
TikTok ads, Instagram ads, Facebook ads, YouTube ads, LinkedIn ads, boosted posts, and paid campaign placements.
Launch
Product launch videos
Launch teasers, product mood films, app launch videos, SaaS launch clips, product reels, and campaign landing page videos.
Sponsored
Sponsored content
Paid partnerships, sponsored creator videos, influencer brand campaigns, UGC-style ads, and brand collaboration deliverables.
Brand story
Campaign brand films
Brand films, seasonal videos, campaign story assets, visual identity videos, and promotional brand storytelling.
Agency
Client campaign deliverables
Campaign videos created by agencies, freelancers, production teams, editors, or creative studios for client brands.
Multi-platform
Campaign asset packages
Multiple versions of the same video for Reels, TikTok, Shorts, LinkedIn, website placements, paid ads, and campaign pages.
Commercial License vs Sync License for Brand Campaigns
Not every business video requires the same license. Organic brand content may fit a commercial license, while paid campaigns and promotional distribution often need sync licensing or custom review.
| Use Case | Typical License Starting Point | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Organic brand video | Commercial Creator License | The video supports a business or brand, but is not distributed through paid advertising systems. |
| Website hero video or product page video | Commercial Creator License | The video appears on a commercial digital property and supports brand communication. |
| Paid social ad or boosted post | Sync License or Custom License | Paid distribution usually requires broader campaign permission than organic posting. |
| Sponsored influencer campaign | Sync License or Custom License | The project may involve paid promotion, brand deliverables, campaign duration, and client usage terms. |
| Product launch campaign | Sync License or Custom License | Launch videos may be used across social media, websites, ads, email, and campaign pages. |
| TV, cinema, app, game, event, or exclusive campaign | Custom License Inquiry | These uses usually require project-specific review, pricing, restrictions, and written terms. |
How Sync Licensing Fits a Campaign Workflow
A sync license connects the music to visual media. For brand campaigns, the license should be selected after the campaign scope is known: platforms, duration, paid distribution, client, assets, and promotional purpose.
A single organic social post, a boosted Instagram Reel, a TikTok ad, a product launch campaign, and a multi-platform brand campaign may need different licensing scopes.

Campaign Scope: What to Decide Before Licensing Music
Sync licensing is not only about choosing a track. It is about matching the license to how the campaign will actually use the music.
Duration
How long will the campaign run?
A short campaign may fit a 1-month license. A longer campaign may need a 3-month license or custom terms.
Platforms
Where will the video appear?
Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, websites, landing pages, email campaigns, and ad networks may require scope review.
Distribution
Organic or paid?
Organic brand content and paid media are different. Paid distribution usually carries broader campaign value and higher rights sensitivity.
Client
Who is the final brand?
If an agency, freelancer, or production team creates the campaign asset, the license should reflect the final client or brand use.

Platform Audio Is Not a Sync License

Platform-library or credit-based usage may be suitable for non-commercial or small-scale projects, but it should not be treated as a substitute for a commercial license, sync license, paid advertising license, client-work license, or brand campaign license.

Important: A Sync License Does Not Guarantee Platform Behavior
A sync license clarifies permission from the rights holder for music synchronized with visual media within the license scope. It does not guarantee how TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, advertising review systems, regional catalogs, account settings, automated audio systems, Content ID systems, or future platform policies will behave.
The safer workflow is to use properly licensed music, keep documentation, confirm the campaign scope before launch, and check platform advertising rules before distribution.
日本語：Sync Licenseは、映像と音楽を同期して使用するための権利者からの許諾範囲を明確にするものです。 ただし、各プラットフォームの広告審査、自動判定、地域差、アカウント設定、将来の仕様変更まで保証するものではありません。
