2:30p – Kelli Richards/The All Access Group moderates a panel of industry pros about running your band like a branded business.
At a time when digital distribution is the tail that wags the dog, and when big record labels have contracted, it’s critical for artists and bands to see themselves as a branded business. They must be more responsible than ever to build a strong team around them, to embrace working with consumer brands to increase their exposure and fund their albums and tours, and to engage more actively in social media and other direct-to-fan initiatives because the old way of doing things simply no longer works. Come and hear from players in the ecosystem who enable bands to thrive as the music industry reinvents itself.
Panelists:
