Different Sync Payment Structures Happen In Different Ways
Depending on which territory + type of media you land a sync placement, your payment may be structured in different ways.For example, if you have a TV sync within the UK, your payment will be via a blanket license agreement, where you will receive royalties rather than an upfront fee. These usually take 6 to 12 months after the airdate
If your song has been directly licensed by an advert, television show or video game for example - the territory of the sync placement is an important factor to understand on when you will receive payment.
In the US for example, the final license is only issued after the air date has taken place. It can then take a series of months for payment to come through.
