MXP4 - does it have legs?

In recent discussion with major labels and big indies, seems like the marketing opportunities offered by mxp4’s interactive technology are of serious interest. Biggest hits are: Music file which is always up to date with the band’s latest info, Ability to push remixes out almost instantly, iPhone apps and Treasure hunts. In the long run it’s all about bringing the artist closer...

midem wrapup

Overall, 2 major themes emerged out of the conferences I attended: Fans and Brands. The power is shifting to the artists (nothing new here) and the relationship with their fans is constantly growing in importance. Brian Message mentioned that he asks his bands to go sell the merch after the show and I agree with him. MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Blogs… Fans know so much about the...

midem update

Today, most panels were dedicated to artist/brand relationships. I was really looking forward to the bacardi/groove armada deal. So here’s the lowdown… the 1-year 360 deal was signed 7 months ago and what did we get today… www.bliveshare.com This excuse of a marketing scam lets users send a link to the 1st GA track to their friends and receive extra GA songs for every 500 users ...

Midem day 2

Today’s afternoon panels were a bit of letdown. The morning was a lot more interesting. Brian Message’s advice to bands: Sell your own merchandise after the gigs. The artist-fan relationship is more important than ever. Also, tune-in tomorrow on Goom Radio’s “RADIO-MIDEM” at 18:00. I’m being interviewed on what’s it’s like to be a managers in...

monetizing live video content

Had drinks tonight with the head of Biz Dev of one of the Majors discussing the monetization of high quality video of a live performance. It appeared that when offering a 50/50 split between the producer and the label, the label will most likely be interested but will probably only accept a 60/40 split. However, deals might be split along the lines of: labels keeps digital rights, producers keeps...

Capitalism stole my virginity

temporarylull: Elle s’appelle Natalie Dylan (c’est son pseudo). Elle a 22 ans, habite San Diego et aime internet. A ce qu’on dit, elle serait encore vierge. Eh bien plus pour longtemps puisqu’en novembre dernier, Natalie a mis sa virginité en vente via le Moonlight Bunny Ranch, une maison close légale dans le Nevada, afin de payer ses “études” de conseillère conjuguale. Pour le plaisir :...

Planning MIDEM is about as complicated as finding a record deal in the middle of the financial crisis. the panels look interesting though, especially for managers.
