What is Score a Score?
Updated
Score a Score is a music licensing and music production company for media, founded in 2010. It supplies music and sound services for film, TV, video games, advertising, trailers, and brands — combining a 50,000+ track catalog from 400+ artists with custom production, sound design, and licensing support. It's built for creative teams (agencies, editors, producers, brands) that need music sourced, cleared, and delivered quickly rather than browsing a bare stock library alone.
What Score a Score actually does
The company describes itself as a "one-stop resource for all of your music-for-media needs." Its services fall into a few buckets:
- Curated music pulls — a custom playlist assembled for your project, delivered to your inbox within a few hours (or faster if needed).
- Turnkey licensing — help finalizing all licenses once a track is chosen.
- Bespoke music production — custom music written for a campaign or cut.
- Custom sound design and mixing — immersive soundscapes for film, games, and ads.
- Sonic branding — a distinctive sonic identity for a brand.
- Music supervision and clearance — handled by its supervision team, Antenna.
It also runs a dedicated trailer collection called Locked, with a roster available to customize any cut.
Who it's for
Score a Score works with creatives, agencies, and major brands. The site states it is trusted by 50,000+ creatives and cites music in Super Bowl spots for TurboTax, Michelob ULTRA, Toyota, Totino's, and Zevo. If you're a brand, agency, or production team that needs music sourced and cleared under time pressure, that's the core use case.
How the process works
The site outlines a short, service-led workflow:
- You reach out — by email, text, or call. The team confirms receipt within minutes.
- You brief them — with as little as a few adjectives or as much as a full video edit; they determine the best approach.
- You get a custom playlist — a hand-picked starting point in your inbox within a few hours.
- You refine — with your feedback they adjust: more tracks, or a custom route.
- You license — they help finalize all licenses quickly.
The emphasis throughout is speed and human curation rather than self-serve search.

When to consider it
Score a Score fits projects where you want a team to source and clear music for you — ads, trailers, film, TV, or games — instead of licensing tracks yourself. If your need is a fast, curated shortlist plus help with paperwork, its stated model (response within minutes, playlist within hours, licensing support) is aimed directly at that. If you'd rather browse and license independently, a self-serve catalog may suit you better. Pricing and account requirements aren't specified on the page, so confirm terms directly with the company before committing.
