What I Can Help You With
Sync licensing consulting is for songwriters, composers, and producers who want experienced, objective guidance on their music and how it fits into the film and television licensing industry.
In a one-on-one session, we can focus on the areas that are most relevant to where you are right now, including:
- Evaluating whether your music is ready for sync licensing
- Production, arrangement, and broadcast-quality feedback
- Catalog strategy and identifying where your music fits
- Preparing music for TV, film, advertising, and other media
- Music libraries, publishers, and potential licensing opportunities
- Pitching and submission strategy
- Understanding why your music may not be getting traction
- Identifying the most useful next steps for your catalog
The goal is not to give you generic information about sync licensing. It is to look at your music, your catalog, and your situation and give you a practical direction based on where you are right now.
Here’s how Robbie works with songwriters, composers, and producers depending on where you are right now.
1:1 Consulting Sessions (Sessions are held live on Zoom and recorded, with the replay sent afterward for reference)
For songwriters, composers, and producers who want direct, personalized guidance on their music, catalog, production, or sync licensing strategy.
Bring your music, questions, current challenges, or decisions you are trying to make. We can listen to tracks, evaluate where your music fits, identify production or catalog issues, discuss pitching and licensing opportunities, and determine the most useful next steps.
You leave the session with a clearer understanding of where you are, what needs attention, and what you should focus on next.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I’m not sure if my music is good enough yet?
That’s exactly why I offer the strategy session. You don’t have to guess anymore. I’ll tell you exactly where you are in the sync journey and what needs to change to make your music more competitive for placements.
My mixes aren’t broadcast quality yet… does that matter?
Almost nobody starts “broadcast ready.” That is built through clarity + reference understanding + production decisions that are specific for sync. I’ll help you understand what “broadcast quality” actually means — and how to reach it faster.
I’ve tried pitching before but nobody replies… does that mean my music isn’t good enough?
Not necessarily. Most artists pitch too early, pitch to the wrong targets, or pitch the wrong genres. Strategy + contemporary sound + timing matter far more than volume of pitching. On our call, we’ll identify why your pitching hasn’t been landing and what to fix next.
What happens during a one-on-one sync licensing consultation?
The session is focused on you and where you are right now. We can listen to your music, review your catalog, discuss production and positioning, look at your current pitching strategy, or work through specific sync licensing questions and decisions.
I’ll give you direct feedback on what I think is working, what may be holding you back, and where I believe your time and energy are best spent next.
The session is held live on Zoom and recorded, so you can go back and review the conversation afterward.
Is Sync Licensing Consulting Right for Me?
One-on-one consulting is a good fit if you are a songwriter, composer, or producer who wants direct feedback and a clearer strategy for moving forward in sync licensing.
You do not need to already have placements, and you do not need to have everything figured out before booking. You may be just starting to build a sync-focused catalog, or you may already be pitching music and trying to understand why you are not getting the results you expected.
The important thing is that you are serious about improving your music, understanding where it fits, and taking practical steps toward becoming more competitive for film and television placements.
If you are looking for personalized guidance rather than general information, a one-on-one session gives us the opportunity to focus specifically on your music, your catalog, and your next steps.
