Commercial corporate rates run the gamut from large-scale multimedia
productions to small-scale corporate presentations. With this in mind,
blanket rates are close to impossible to quote - especially when
broadcast and/or public usage comes into play. Below are the most
general rates, however with every project, JGLsongs requires a
consultation on the nature and development of every commercial project.
