If you’re running a marketing campaign and want your marketing video to stand out, it’s important to choose the right music for it. This goes for running a successful podcast as well. The music that plays in the background is often more important than you think and can impact on your commercial or show positively or negatively depending on what you’ve chosen to use.
I’m a freelance music composer (see more on me if interested!) and have worked on commercials, advertising videos, music for podcasts, YouTube channels, games, films and more. It’s an extremely rewarding experience to work with talented individuals who understand the value that music has and can bring when used well. It is also amazing to see those marketing campaigns and shows succeed. So, here are my 5 reasons why I believe music can really help your marketing video or podcast to be successful:
1. Great music is memorable
So, if you’ve chosen your music for your videos carefully, there is a much greater chance of that music and the content of your video to stick in people’s minds than if you had generic, non-memorable music.
2. Music gets people in the right frame of mind
It sets the tone and the mood for what you’re video is all about if done well. So, whether you’re trying to sell something, sell yourself or to inform people about something, the music can get people in the right mood to engage with that message.
3. Great music captures and keeps people’s attention
If you choose the music for your channel and videos wisely, you will be sure to maintain people’s attention throughout your video. Otherwise, generic music can become quite boring and repetitive. You don’t want people dozing off just as your content gets to the important bits do you?
4. Quality music shines
People can usually tell when they’re listening to high quality music or not. By ensuring that yours is of a professional quality, helps you and your brand to come across as polished professional.
5. Keep things fresh and interesting
People like to see and hear fresh content. Think about how your content could be different and go for it. That includes the music too. Fresh, new music can go along way in supporting the growth of your channel or marketing campaign. Your fresh and new content or product deserves fresh, new music to go with it!

Do you want people to enjoy & look forward to your podcast? Do you want more subscribers and for each one to tell others about it? If so, paying close attention to your podcast intro and outro is a must do. How you start your podcast and how you end each episode can really affect how people feel about you and your podcast and so it’s important to get it right. If it’s not memorable and doesn’t excite your listeners in the right way, it could actually be turning them away from you.
So are you someone who’s thinking about whether or not to hire a freelance composer for your project? Or maybe you’re a composer yourself and are wondering how to set yourself up as someone who’s trustworthy and easy to work with?
Do you have a corporate video or marketing campaign you’re working on? If so, getting the music right will be one element to consider carefully. Putting together the rest of the video is super important, however, many people seem to underestimate the importance of the music and the impact it can have on pulling the whole project together and enhancing the video content.

Are you thinking about hiring a freelance composer to work with but aren’t quite sure about how it might work or how to ensure that it works well? If so, don’t worry. It is a completely natural feeling especially if you’ve never worked with any freelancers before and it’s important to address your concerns and to make sure that you find the right person for you and your project.
I’m a freelance music composer and have worked with clients and projects all over the world – including working with game developers, filmmakers, podcasters, TV producers, marketers and more (see my homepage to get to know me, Ninichi a bit better!). I work from my home office and have never met many of my clients, yet my working relationships with each one feels really strong. There’s a sense of trust, my clients know that they can rely on me to get the work done and done to a high standard, and that I will always do my best to create music that embodies their visions. They also know that I will always be there to respond to their needs whenever they have something to say, ask, explore, feedback on or to work on further.
There are many reasons why your podcast intro music is so important. It’s the start of your show and is the best time to capture your audience’s attention and to make a great impression. It sets the tone for the rest of your show and thus reflects closely on you, your podcast and your brand.
As a freelance composer, I have created many podcast intros and outros, theme tunes for shows, background music for adverts and commercials, games and more (see more about me, Ninichi). I enjoy composing jingles and those who come to me believe that it’s worth investing in custom intros. These, I believe are some of the reasons why…
If you’re involved in advertising and are wondering how to make your advert stand out, think carefully about the music jingle that everyone will hear as they listen to and watch your advert. Jingles are a super important part when it comes to advertising and it’s amazing how much impact they can have on an advertising campaign and on one’s brand.
I’m a freelance jingles composer and have worked on various jingles, theme tunes and intros and outros for different shows and commercial adverts as well as working on soundtracks for games and films (see my homepage or jingles & intros page). It’s a really rewarding experience and one that I feel passionately about. Often the importance of getting the right jingle can be overlooked and so I hope that this article helps to offer some insight and ideas around why they require real thought and consideration, and that by investing time and energy into this, you will most definitely see your advertising campaign come to life!
