Music for Corporate Videos

What music can you legally use in a corporate video?

A corporate or image film is commercial use, so its music has to be cleared for business — not just "free to listen to". With ordinary copyrighted music that means clearing two separate rights: a synchronization license (to pair the music with picture) and a master-use license (to use the actual recording) — and, in Germany and much of Europe, the performing right on top. Get one wrong and the company is exposed to a takedown or a back-claim. Artyfile removes the guesswork: every track is real, original music that ships with sync and master rights together in one license, administered directly by Artyfile, worldwide and for life. One purchase covers your website, social channels, trade-show booth, presentations, internal media and broadcast, with no additional GEMA or collection-society fees, and your video is never blocked, muted or taken down. Preview every track free, then download a studio-grade WAV the moment you buy.

GEMA and business use — what a corporate film actually has to clear

This is where most companies get caught out. Under GEMA's own rules, showing music in an image film at a trade fair, on your website or on your intranet requires the performing right in addition to the synchronization right — and those fees can recur. The fear of a back-claim is exactly why German marketing teams hesitate. Because Artyfile owns and administers the rights to its catalogue directly, a licensed track arrives cleared for all of those corporate uses with no additional GEMA or collection-society fees to register or pay. The sync and master rights are cleared directly by Artyfile, so there is nothing extra to settle for the use you licensed. See the full licensing details.

One license for every channel your corporate video runs on

A brand film is a multi-year asset, and it rarely lives in one place. The same video runs on your homepage and YouTube channel, in LinkedIn and paid-social campaigns, at trade-show and exhibition booths, on reception and in-store screens, in sales and investor decks, in internal town halls and on your recruiting page. Subscription libraries often cap or upcharge exactly these uses — broadcast, paid media, out-of-home — and re-using the track in next year's cut can require a new license. Every Artyfile track is a single worldwide buyout: one purchase covers every corporate surface, every edit and every re-cut, with no per-platform fee and no renewal.

Agencies and production companies: deliver cleared rights your client owns

If you produce the film for a client, the client — not just your studio — needs to hold the music rights. A stock subscription (Epidemic Sound, Artlist) clears a video only while the subscription stays active and ties the clearance to your account; cancel it, or re-cut the film next year, and the project can fall out of license — and that compliance risk lands on the client. An Artyfile buyout transfers cleanly: sync and master rights together, worldwide and for life, owned outright by whoever the license is for. Hand over the project knowing the client's corporate video is cleared forever, even after you move on.

Buy once vs subscribe — a corporate video outlives a subscription

Subscription libraries rent you access. Videos you publish while you pay stay cleared, but the catalogue is never yours: stop paying and you cannot use those tracks in anything new, you cannot freely re-edit existing films, and the bill recurs every month. A corporate video, by contrast, is meant to run for years. Artyfile is buy-once: pay from €29.90 for a track and it is yours for life — reuse it across unlimited future films, edits, channels and clients, with no renewal. For the handful of signature tracks a brand actually reuses, a one-time license costs a fraction of an open-ended subscription over a few years.

What music for a corporate video costs

Artyfile Basic — €29.90 per track, once. A lifetime, worldwide synchronization and master-use license covering every channel a corporate film runs on — website, YouTube, LinkedIn, trade shows, presentations, internal media and broadcast — with no subscription, no per-platform fee and no extra GEMA or collection-society fees. Download a studio-grade WAV instantly. Compare that to a custom composition (often four to five figures) or a per-use sync quote, and a flat buyout is the predictable, finance-friendly option marketing teams prefer. Some premium tracks carry individual pricing shown on the track. See full pricing & licenses.

Real, recorded music — a premium brand sound, not the same stock loop

Most corporate videos are scored with the same handful of stock loops everyone else uses — and audiences feel the sameness. Artyfile's catalogue is performed by real musicians — including the London Symphony Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios under composer Paul Lorenz (30 years, 500M+ streams) — alongside warm acoustic, electronic, ambient and cinematic pieces built for brand film. Unlike AI-generated tracks or generic library loops, every recording has clear human authorship and fully documented rights — which is exactly what makes it safe to clear for a company and to hand to a client. Browse music for film and music for commercials too, or the full catalogue. Need something written to your brand? We also offer a custom score.

Own the music, don't just rent it

Stock and subscription libraries only ever rent you music. With Artyfile Limited Edition (from €96.90) a company or producer can own 1–10% of the master recording as a Music NFT — so when the track is streamed or licensed again, you earn from it. Use the music safely across every corporate channel for life, or own a piece of it.
