Hot take
Scout is a boutique sync agency with roots in San Francisco, known for providing tightly curated music licensing, supervision, and original production since 2005. Their catalog is exclusive—accepting only the top 0.1% of submissions—which means quality, but also a pretty high bar for entry for artists hoping to get placed. For creatives and brands, the platform offers a user-friendly search experience, fast turnaround, and the ability to commission custom music or tap into a diverse existing roster. However, that exclusivity limits opportunities for emerging creators, and the lack of public transparency around artist compensation may give some independents pause. Still, Scout’s focus on mentorship and creative collaboration stands out in the sync space, making it a solid option for artists who can get a foot in the door.
