Music 4.5: Data is Sexy!
Event Info
Description
Data and Research - The use of data and research to make more money for entrepreneurs and artists: if you don't get your metadata right, it's likely you won't get all the money due to you. Metadata, e-CRM and research data make up the backbone of the entertainment industry, but is seldom seen or spoken of. Data gives information, which equals understanding of your market. Yet, at the moment, metadata and the resulting sales reports are a huge area of untapped potential, rarely fully utilised and exploited.
This needs to be addressed for startups so they go into ventures with the understanding that this is an important part of their business to get right - for their own revenue purposes, and to ensure artists and songwriters get paid.
The seminar will feature case studies from Decibel, MusicMetric and Push Entertainment.
