Also, can you contact TAXI directly if you have a question like this (not that I have any doubt about the accrued wisdom on my fellow TAXI mates) just wondering due to the turn around time to submit for something like this.
Thoughts appreciated

FUN, GROOVE-DRIVEN INSTRUMENTALS in ANY STYLES/GENRES are needed by a Film/TV Music Publisher for an (up to) $7,500, NON-Exclusive placement in a Digital/Online Commercial. They’re eagerly searching for Mid-To-Up Tempo Instrumentals that fall within the general stylistic range of the following references they gave us:
Levi’s® "Circles" Commercial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgcgFP9nGqY
Introducing Surface Laptop. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDW24im1c-M
Samsung Galaxy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06JwASE4p4s
Although the references above have vocals, this pitch is for instrumentals only. Please submit well-crafted Instrumentals that are melodically and rhythmically appealing and reflect the general vibe and style of the references above. Your tracks should have progressive changes that prevent your Instrumentals from sounding too linear and one-dimensional.
Quoting the Source: Instrumentals can be developed from any relevant groove from any genre, (but not limited too) Hip Hop, EDM, Contemporary Jazz, Urban R&B, Pop etc.
Your submissions should be at least 60 seconds in length. Non-Faded, Buttoned/Stinger endings are highly recommended (stinger's preferred). Do NOT copy the referenced music in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Also, please do NOT submit any material with unauthorized samples of other artists’ music, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine).
The estimated license fee for this use is (up-to) $7,500, depending on the ultimate placement. This Publisher offers a NON-EXCLUSIVE 50/50 deal. You’ll get 50% of the sync fee and 100% of the Writer’s share. They’ll get 50% of the sync fee and 100% of the Publisher’s Share. You’ll keep 100% of the original copyright and master.
