Closer Music: the brand, the app and the growth of a music licensing platform

Closer Music licenses music and sound effects to creators, brands and agencies. We work with them on the whole business: we designed the brand, built the mobile app, write the content and look after the development of the platform.

Closer Music: Closer Music licenses music to creators and brands. From one team: its brand book, its mobile app, content and visibility, and care for the whole platform.

The brand and the app

  • A brand book: the logo and its variations, colors and type, stationery, and the mood of the photography, from black-and-white concert shots to templates for social media.
  • A mobile app for iOS and Android, where customers browse and play the catalog.

Content and visibility

  • Articles on music licensing and music in advertising, based on research into the top search results, with a primary source for every claim on studies, numbers and law.
  • New titles and descriptions for the whole catalog: over 20,000 pages.
  • Visibility tracked in search and in AI answers.

Looking after the platform

  • A technical audit of the site, with the fixes it calls for passed to their developers every week.
  • Every platform release reviewed for its effect on search.
  • Search engine and AI bot traffic watched in the server logs.
  • A review of their analytics and tag setup, so the numbers can be trusted.
