hi@BenjiKRogers@PledgeMusic
“As unsettling as it may sound, we need to accept that we are not simply selling content. We’re not selling the words on the page or the images on the screen; instead we’re selling an entire experience. The content we create and sell is just one segment of a thousand-piece jigsaw puzzle.”
Nick Bilton

“I’m among the new era of consumers and contributors, and we’re looking for new forms of content and storytelling. Where it doesn’t exist, we’re going to find it elsewhere, make it ourselves, or, in some instances, just take it.”
Nick Bilton
What does success mean to you?What does failure look like?
Commercial Success / Artistic Success?How quickly are you prepared to fail?
Is anyone other than you waiting for your next release?Content / Music
Lead or follow?Who tells your story?
You are competing with free and that’s ok…
You can get all of the principles of marketing wrong
because people are unable to keep greatness to themselves
if what you make is great
and it tells a great storythen everyone who hears it
If you do great work
will have something that they will want to share
thank you
