TM Studios.
This is who we are.
Audio is what we do.
We didn’t follow the sound of modern radio. We’re the reason it sounds the way it does.
Since 1967, TM Studios has been in the business of unforgettable. The commercial jingle a nation hums without thinking. The station ID burned into a generation's memory. The theme that tells you the news is about to matter. If you grew up with a radio on, you grew up with our work.
Nearly six decades in, the obsession that created those first jingles hasn't changed. The tools are smarter. The ideas are deeper. The reach is bigger. Over one hundred million people hear our work every day, through music, the most powerful branding tool ever invented. We don't say that to boast. We say it because when you're trusted with that many ears, you'd better be very good, and very sure. We are both.
Throughout our history, we've invented products like "Branded Intros" (jingles sung over songs), and "The Updating Jingle Package," while coining industry terms like "Production Music" and the "Shotgun" jingle. We've been owned by entrepreneurs and by corporations. Our stock traded publicly on NASDAQ as TMCI. And for five years, Roy Disney owned TM Studios.
We don't follow where sonic branding is going. We're part of how it gets there.
You don't last this long by standing still, and you don't last by sounding the same or abandoning what works: real human creativity, real human feeling. We use every modern tool worth using. None of them replaces our people. Trust like that is earned over decades. So is our respect for your deadline and your budget.
TM is a full-service branding agency with a product for every kind of client and budget. Bespoke sonic and visual branding through TM Custom. Ready-to-air jingles from TM Next or one of our Syndicated Jingle Packages. Advertising jingles that make brands memorable, through TM Commercial. Imaging and tools that cut through, from TRIL and On The Sly. Over 500,000 World-class tracks from TM Production Music, and the industry benchmark for music libraries, GoldDisc. Whatever your size, format or platform, there's a TM product for you, with the same craft wired into every one.
All of it runs through our people. Producers, imagers, musicians, engineers and partners around the world, working efficiently around the world, between our team, TM is always creating – 24/7 365! All curated and delivered out of our legendary Studio A in Dallas and our studios in Los Angeles and MediaCityUK Manchester. We're serious about making your brand unforgettable, mildly obsessed with beating your expectations, and we always have fun getting there.
