Composer & Founder
Marc Aaron Jacobs
Composer writing for advertising, theatrical trailers, and TV. Founder of DropCue. Music publisher behind Tonal Chaos Trailers and Outsider Music.
Why I built DropCue
I started building DropCue because I had been running my own music libraries. Tonal Chaos Trailers handles premium theatrical trailer music. Outsider Music handles TV and advertising. With both, I kept hitting the same problem. Sharing playlists professionally with music supervisors, sync agencies, and trailer houses was either expensive, clunky, or both.
The legacy tools the industry runs on charge $30 to $70 a month, hide critical features behind add-on fees, and force you to learn an interface that hasn't been redesigned in a decade. I wanted something that felt modern, included everything in one price, and respected my time.
DropCue is the platform I wanted to use myself. Every feature is in the plan price. Analytics, password protection, branded links, AI stem separation, music submission inbox, public portfolio pages, all included. Plans start at $5 a month.
What I do
Composer. I write music for major advertising campaigns, theatrical movie trailers, and television. The composing work is what got me started in this industry, and it's still core to how I think about every product decision in DropCue.
