Overview

About This Project

Song Brief is an internal system I built to help Massive Music's licensing team quickly find songs that fit a client's advertising brief, using the catalogue and its metadata.
Challenge

The Problem

Matching songs to client briefs was manual and inconsistent, making it hard to respond quickly to licensing opportunities.
Solution

How We Solved It

I built a suggestion system over the catalogue data that surfaces songs matching a brief's criteria, giving the licensing team fast, relevant options.

Reflection

What I Learned

Turning a fuzzy matching task into a searchable tool showed how much value lives in a company's own catalogue once it's made queryable.
