(Artist X Sync) = AudienceRevenue²


It’s a fact that artists (and the people that work with them) need to expand the ways and means used to promote production and generate revenue. Sync and brand affiliation are the fulcrum for artist development – having a song affiliated with a hit show or a multi-million dollar ad campaign is one of the surest ways to build audience and ultimately revenue. Join our experts on branding, sync and promotion as they discuss the ways and means artists build their presence in the 21st century.
