Where To Get Music For Adverts

Our catalogue of production music tracks contains all of the music for advertising you could possibly dream of. Each track is of the highest quality and has been produced by world-leading composers and artists, which is why thousands – including some industry giants – already rely on our offerings. You can start your Audio Network journey by exploring our discover and playlists pages. Or you could simply look below at our selection of the best playlists for advertising.

Audio Network's Advert Music Playlists

Sports

From Nike ads to Super Bowl ads, sports ads are everywhere, which makes sense considering that sports play such a huge role in the lives of millions worldwide. No matter whether the ad you're creating is centred around sports trainers, sports fragrances, sports games or sporting events, we’ve got the perfect track for you in our sports anthems playlist.

Recommendation: ‘See Yuh Sweat’ by Marc Jackson Burrows is everything. The ultimate sports track, this hectic, ragga trap song provides the listener with a kick of energy and a dash of competitive spirit.

Corporate

In the past, corporate ads were the dullest thing on our small screens, but firms are slowly but surely learning that it’s beneficial to make your ad as memorable as possible. One of the best ways to entice audience members in a way that keeps things professional is by using tracks from our corporate playlist.

Recommendation: Although hip hop may not be the genre you typically associate with the corporate world, George Georgia’s ‘Blunted’ makes a case for the use of hip hop music in corporate ads. The hazy, laid-back beat of the song is different enough to inject some life into a corporate ad, yet familiar enough to blend into the background.

Fashion

Fashion is about individuality and making an impact, meaning that the music that aids the visuals of a fashion commercial has to be remarkable. And like any fashionable catalogue, ours has range – within our fashion playlist, there are chic French beats, catwalk-ready compositions, glamorous grooves and more.

Recommendation: Powell, Trower and Elder’s ‘We Are Beautiful’ is a bouncy pop song led by a raspy female vocalist and tropical bass. It’s music that’s ideal for complementing any summertime fashion ad, regardless of the garments in focus.

Beauty

Beauty is a big moneymaker, and it’s a sector that’s set to continue expanding. Naturally, the demand means that it’s hard to switch on the television – or make it through a YouTube video – without being told about the latest beauty products available. The best of the bunch employ songs that sound like those in our beauty playlist.

Recommendation: Beauty is about experimentation, empowerment and fun, and so is ‘Meu Menino’ by Rodrigues Junior, Lopes Rodrigues, Love and Browning. The Brazilian drum‘n’bass love song is a festival of colour and Latin inspirations, making it ideal for beauty brands looking to pop.

Travel

Travel ads tend to be effective as we’re all constantly thinking about our next trip away. And sometimes, seeing that exotic beach or enchanting city on our screens is just the thing we needed to see to push us to book our next trip. Usually, it helps if there’s an enticing travel-inspired track thrown into the mix (something like the ones you can discover in our travel playlist).

Recommendation: Michael Tedstone’s ‘Moonlight Garden’ is an invite into a tranquil oriental garden. The Chinese-inspired song touches the soul with its love-infused flutes, strings and percussion.

Why Music Matters In Adverts

The first couple of seconds of an advertisement is a make-or-break moment: will the viewer decide to pay attention to the commercial or will they do anything and everything to distract themselves whilst the ad plays out? One of the factors that can influence a viewer’s decision is enchanting music.

Think about it: a song that piques your interest can make you care about an advert, no matter what it’s promoting. Rebecca Ferguson’s ‘Nothing’s Real But Love’ made a Nescafé Gold ad a hit,‘Eliza Aria’ from the ballet Wild Swans (performed by the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra) reminded the whole nation that Lloyds TSB existed, and Take That’s ‘Shine’ made Morrison’s carrier bags an ubiquitous accessory.
