Forward-thinking and firmly situated at the intersection of the music and advertising industries, Mophonics counts Wieden & Kennedy, BBH, TBWA/Chiat/Day, BBDO, McCann Worldgroup, and Goodby Silverstein & Partners among its agency clients and has created music-driven cobranding intiatives for Apple, Visa, Verizon, Scion, Wrigley’s, Electronic Arts, Axe, Nissan and Nike, and more. Mophonics is the only company to create an original single, “Gimme That,” for an Apple iPod campaign. Artist Zeroleen’s “All Good,” has been featured in “CSI: Miami,” “Weeds,” multiple film trailers and ad campaigns for Verizon and 24Hr Fitness; the single also received airplay on specialty radio, retail outlets, and in-flight radio. Mophonics-produced band Four Fifty One was featured on NBC’s “Friday Night Lights” and in a 4-spot Wrigley’s campaign that featured Mophonics-produced artists; the band also played a 40-gig sponsored tour for energy drink Upshot. The Mae Shi, repped by Mophonics for original compositions and sync, was a strong presence at SxSW in 2009, with placements in Rockstar Games Midnight Club LA (MCLA) and in the award-winning indie “My Suicide.”
In May 2008, Dave Philpot (Cup Of Tea Records, Skint Records) and Matt Kaleda (BBC TV, Ninja Tune Records, Warner Music UK,) decided to pool their resources. Over 20 years of industry experience, an absurdly long contacts list and wide-reaching eclectic musical tastes were all factors in setting up Sync Inc., now firmly established as one of the more forward-thinking, boutique Music Consultancy/Sync Agencies around. Working alongside like-minded record labels such as Ninja Tune, !K7, Hyperdub, Skint, Sunday Best, B-Unique, and Cheap Thrills, Dave and Matt have placed music and consulted on huge advertising campaigns such as Nokia ‘Comes with Music’, Nokia N Series, Hugo Boss, Nike, Sony PlayStation, Bacardi and Chrysler, as well as music supervising on a handful of UK indie films and primetime BBC TV Drama series such as “Moses Jones.”
