Tip 4: Mind Your Target Audience
If you’re trying to reach a broad market choose the music that is neutral and broadly appealing.
Tip 5: Keep It Steady
Pick music with steady pace and no sudden changes in mood or instrumentation.
Tip 6: Keep It Current
Unless there is a good creative reason, use modern sounding music.
Tip 7: Use Loops
Combine individual loops to construct a custom soundtrack of specific length or desired instrumentation.
Note that many tracks available for licensing at Safe Music List come bundled with seamless loops. Furthermore, custom loops can be created on request.
Tip 8: Get Proper License For The Music You Use!
Always obtain permission / license to use the music. Keep it on file for any possible copyright dispute.
Get your license from a music library that specializes in background music for marketing videos.

It got me when you mentioned paying attention to who the target audience will be when choosing a music for the video and making sure that it is appealing to them. Since I am not very experienced in this, I think it is best that I hire a professional to assist me. All I know is that the target audience of the brand is children. Only a professional will be able to determine the best beat to use. Thank you for mentioning this.
