About us
The creators.
The Composer Guide was started by Ruben Camacho, a composer from Costa Rica who now moves between Europe and Central America. He created it to solve a real problem—too many young composers spend hours digging through scattered resources, lost in a world that often feels gatekept and overwhelming.The Composer Guide changes that. It’s here to make things easier, clearer, and more accessible—so you can focus on making music, not endlessly searching for where to begin.In 2025, Carson Zuck joined the team to help grow the vision and take the project to the next level. Exciting things are on the way.
Support us.
Currently, The Composer Guide is run by just two team members—Ruben and Carson. As you can imagine, maintaining a platform like this comes with significant costs. While we're passionate about what we do and are committed to keeping it going, any support along the way is deeply appreciated.As a token of our gratitude, all supporters will soon be featured on our upcoming Supporters Wall!And to say thank you in style, every supporter will receive a high-quality heavyweight tee—so you can rep the TCG team with pride!

Creators. Listen up.
This is your chance to start collaborating with major brands. And no, there are no hidden fees. Our mission is to support the next generation of creators, and our success comes from helping you get real opportunities.
Here's how it works
1
You sign up through our form and get added to our database. From there, we identify your musical style and any other details that help us match you with the right brands.
2
Once you’re in our database, we work on connecting you with the right brand. This can take anywhere from a day to a few weeks, depending on which brands we’re actively partnering with at the time.
3
When we secure a collaboration, we’ll contact you on Instagram to go over the brief, the license you’ll receive, and the deadline. Before you post, just invite the brand as a co-author.
Dive into the music industry
This project isn’t just a way to access free professional libraries, it’s an opportunity for brands to discover your content, for you to build a strong portfolio piece by piece, and soon, to start receiving paid collaborations.The sample-music industry has been dominated by big creators for too long. We’re pulling that door open, and we hope you’ll get in with us!

A shift in content
We’re reshaping how brands approach content. Instead of chasing the biggest creators and hoping for massive returns, only to end up disappointed when the investment outweighs the ROI, we connect you with top-tier, undiscovered creators who deliver content that truly sticks, at a fraction of the cost.The catch? There isn’t one. Keep reading and you’ll see exactly how it works.
Here's how it came to life.
5 years of experience
After spending five years creating content myself, I learned exactly what brands are truly looking for: stories that stick. Not ads. Not forced ‘buy this’ captions. Just honest, well-crafted videos that let the product shine on its own.So why build an agency focused on smaller creators instead of the big names? Simple. The rates of large creators have skyrocketed, and most brands today recover barely half of their investment in actual sales. We’re in the middle of a social shift, and it demands a new way of thinking about content.Smaller creators bring something big creators can’t: focused, dedicated craftsmanship. Big creators are flooded with opportunities; smaller creators aren’t, which means they pour more time, care, and precision into every project. And it shows. Their content performs, their views climb because they’re fresh in the space, and their sales match that impact, all while costing a fraction of the price.Long story short: my experience has given me the clarity and mindset to build something that works, an agency brands can rely on for high-quality content delivered every month by diverse, hungry, talented creators.Curious to see how it all comes together?

The process
We use a Notion page called the Creator Hub. It’s our shared workspace where you can see exactly where each creator is in their workflow, when they get their NFR, when they expect to finish, and when their content is planned to go live.Everything is neatly organized and completely transparent. Here’s an example. Just hover over the question marks if you’re curious about anything.
Our core values
Transparency is our compass. We understand that every creator works differently, so adaptability and flexibility are core to how we operate.We aim to give brands a sense of guidance and confidence when they trust us with the content that represents who they are. At the same time, we’re here to help creators grow with every piece of work they put out. Growth is at the heart of every step we take, together.
