The problem with funnels is that they're all about conversion. But once a customer makes a purchase, they’re forgotten. They are no longer engaged until you have the next thing to sell them on, and you start the whole funnel sequence from the beginning. This not only leaves money on the table, but it also loses the opportunity to build customer loyalty, drive repeat business, and—critically—generate word-of-mouth promotion. But there's a better way. https://lnkd.in/edevxKxn

Why the heck does sound—music and audio—matter so much to me? Exploring my connections and vision for audio’s universal and personal impact.

I spent the weekend with my friend Jonas Friedman, a successful music composer in film and TV. He told me about the seismic shifts happening in the entertainment industry. About how the foundational economic underpinnings of Hollywood are in transformation, resulting in a monstrous impact on global entertainment media and the careers of everyone involved. One of the topics we talked a lot about was the impact of generative AI and products like Cinesamples, Inc.’s Musio on his profession. These new dynamics and tools are disrupting how music is created and integrated into content, right now.

I want to share appreciation for Simon Park, a super talented industrial designer who has—without exaggeration—designed some of the coolest music tech gear of the last decade. Simon is available to help companies in consumer and professional electronics with industrial design and design leadership. He and I were catching up recently, and very tactfully, he told me he would be redesigning the Dan Radin Strategy logo. I'm grateful to him for saving you all from having to see my amateur effort even for one second longer! Thanks Simon. https://lnkd.in/eSVbSUnE
