Der er ingen tvivl om, at der ligger et stort potentiale i arbejdet med at koble musik, film, TV og reklamer, og dermed skabe sig en platform for afsætningen af sin musik - også internationalt. OG der er allerede nu en række danske bands, der har deres økonomi funderet i dette arbejde. det gælader bl.a. for Efterklang, Nelson Can, Powersolo, Alphabeat, Carpark North - og selvfølgelig The Blue Van, der jo blev "synchet" på den første iPad-kampagne.

Herhjemme er der også flere og flere folk, der virkelig arbejder meget aktivt på dette område, og derfor syntes vi det giver rigtig god mening at være med til at styrke dette arbejde, og derfor arbejder vi nu på at få inviteret et eksklusivt hold at internationale music supervisere til at besøge Aarhus og SPOT Festival - Music, Interactive & Films til vores - efterhånden - traditionelle "speed-meeting"-session.

Indtil videre kan vi præsentere de tre nedenstående "kombattanter" - men flere er på vej.
