Where to Find Music For Corporate Videos in 2023
Corporate videos are notorious for having some of the most generic music on the planet. Let’s take a look at the typical corporate video audio track:
The use of this type of music in corporate videos may be attributed to habit or possibly a fear of showcasing any sort of personality. Many organizations simply follow trends they see in other corporate videos and assume that this is just what you do, while others believe that a reserved approach is more professional.
In 2023, there are a lot more options available when it comes to searching for corporate video music, which is resulting in a shift away from this bland approach. But it’s not just about the collection of songs available, it’s also about how you search and choose a song.
How to find the right song for your video
Instead of treating all corporate videos the same, it's important to consider the specific type and purpose of each video. Is it an event video? Is it an explainer video or a facility tour? Each type will evoke different emotions and require a distinctly different song. For example, an event video may require a more energetic track, while an explainer video may benefit from a more futuristic, tech-sounding song.
Let’s put an end to the era of boring corporate videos. Here is a list of the top sites to find corporate video music in 2023:
