MMF & Slice! Workshop: Finding Your Audience Through Streaming Platforms

28 May 2015

With over 20 million tracks on Spotify, three hours of YouTube videos uploaded every minute and new streaming platform launches every few months, it can be difficult to design a smart digital music strategy that ensures your artist can be heard above the noise. Although it’s difficult to navigate what is a complex and increasingly fragmented landscape on streaming services, there are still lots of opportunities available for new and niche artists.

This workshop will discuss these current issues as well as advise on how streaming services can be used to successfully reach your target audience. We will cover key data and market analysis as well as insider information on some of the most popular brands on YouTube and Spotify. There are limited places so please RSVP as early as possible.
