Other info
The following may be helpful when quoting for creation of music for advertising.
The Commercial Composers Association (CCA) was formed in order to set and regulate licence fees for music compositions used in advertising for TV, Radio and Cinema, as well as audiovisual productions. The CCA sets a recommended minimum annual licence fee for music usage for 1 year. Thereafter, a renewal may be obtained for further years upon payment of the relevent fees.
These renewals were originally administered via SARRAL. In recent years however, the CCA has become independent of SARRAL and recommends that composers maintain these renewals themselves.
(Update: SARRAL was closed at the end of October 2010, so this is now irrelevant.)
The following documents were supplied by the CCA:
- The CCA licence rates for 2011 (valid until end Feb 2012) - Download (Word doc)
This document also specifies choir fees and musicians' rates
The new rates for 2012 are here: Download (Word doc)
- The voice-over rates for 2011 (valid until end Feb 2011) - Download (PDF)
The voice-over rates may be useful when quoting on TV ads etc. These rates usually also apply to lead singers' fees.
The new rates for 2012 are here: Download (PDF)
- The CCA Addendum - contains further info - Download (Word doc)
Note: The rates linked to above are minimum rates for Mechanical Licence Fees only and exclude production fees, studio costs, session musicians etc etc.
