What is Thematic?

Thematic is a community-based platform that allows content creators to connect with music artists. Both artists and creators can use the platform to encourage collaboration.

Thematic is also very focused on curation. Therefore, the system is set up similarly to Netflix to allow creators to choose music that best fits their brand. Artists upload their music while creators can scroll through and select music that best fits their brand.

The music included in Thematic ranges from instrumental to top 40 hits.

“If creators are able to have fun during the process of finding music, it doesn’t feel like a chore.” -Stephanie
