Why city marketing teams use Audiocrowd
Public communication needs documentation
With multiple stakeholders, traceability matters. Audiocrowd provides clear license documentation (e.g. license PDFs) for approvals, archiving and audits.
Platform libraries rarely allow cross-posting
Whether TikTok, Instagram/Facebook or YouTube: platform libraries are typically designed for use within that platform. For cross-posting, image films or campaigns you need clear, documented usage rights.
Archive safety: no “subscription trap”
City marketing relies on long-lived content (recaps, image films, tourism clips). With Audiocrowd, projects published during the subscription remain licensed permanently, even after the contract ends.
Additional PRO & GEMA safety for the German market
In Germany, the so-called GEMA presumption applies: music usage is generally considered subject to fees unless proven otherwise. Many international “royalty-free” offers are not designed for this system, which can lead to uncertainty without track-specific PRO information.
Direct collaboration with composers
We work directly with the composers of our music – not via anonymous aggregators or third-party catalogs. Each composer must explicitly declare for every single track whether the work is registered with a performing rights organization (e.g. GEMA, BMI, SOCAN) or intended to be registered in the future.
Track-specific PRO status instead of generic claims
These track-specific composer declarations provide reliable information on the PRO status of each individual work. Unlike many international “royalty free” models, Audiocrowd does not rely on generic catalog-wide assurances.
Regular repertoire checks (GEMA, BMI, SOCAN)
As a German provider, we are familiar with GEMA practices and international repertoire representation. We therefore regularly check our tracks against repertoire databases such as GEMA, BMI and SOCAN to detect registrations early and further reduce the risk of unexpected fees in the German market.
Higher security for public bodies
By combining direct composer declarations with ongoing repertoire checks, we provide a level of safety specifically tailored to the needs of city marketing teams, communications offices and public institutions in the German market.
Note: Repertoire databases may be subject to update delays. Our processes significantly increase safety but do not constitute legal advice.
