Billboard Magazine – Getting Your Music in Commercials

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010

It’s that time of year again – the time of year where we get our face plastered amongst the pages of Billboard magazine. And being the shy, bashful company that we are, we almost kept this amazing accomplishment to ourselves… But alas, the opportunity for shameless self-promotion got the better of us, so we’ve taken to shouting it from the mountain tops!

In this, the latest issue, Billboard tapped Jingle Jared to provide some helpful advice and key insight into placing your music in advertising, television and film. We feel very honored that we’ve become one of the leading voices in this industry, and proud to help influence the careers of many independent artists – and also just a little thrilled to see our name printed up in a big fancy magazine.

You can see a clipping of the article below and if you’d like to read it just check it out here.
