images_7Merseyside ACME present a seminar for Music Managers on 27th October at Leaf Cafe. 

You don’t have to be a Colonel Tom Parker, an Allen Klein or a Peter Grant to know that the management game is complex.

Whether self-releasing or aiming for stadiums and majors it’s a potential minefield. There’s a whole raft of people you’ll need to have on side; a great accountant, a savvy PR, a clued up social media expert and a very, very smart lawyer and that’s all while dealing with the talent itself.

So, let’s fill in the blanks, spark some conversation and introduce you to some of the people who live and breath those issues, day in and day out.  An informal salon session where questions are encouraged, audience participation is welcome and just sitting in silence listening will be actively frowned upon.

Featuring:

Craig Pennington, Bido Lito (Moderator)
Matt Johnson, Manager, Sparklestreet
Stephen Lea, Nexus Solicitors
Jon Child, Jon Child & Co
Leanne Mison, Bang-on PR

The event runs form 4-5.30pm

  • Mobile ticketing from LSO Mobile ticketing from LSO

    Interesting video into the use of Mobile Ticketing by the London Symphony Orchestra, who along with Kodime (the digital Agency) and Salford University are testing mobile marketing and ticketing, allowing students to purchase discounted concert tickets through mobile apps. The apps will also use location data to show events nearby and allow students to share comments via social media. This is an Arts Council England funding project. 

    I can see there being more more use of this kind of individual organisational apps in the future, but the interesting bit is really when they start joining up and cross promoting events using each others apps.
