Every record label should have a strong social media presence in China. Without strong socials, you’re doing a disservice to your artists: You’re negatively impacting their discoverability and growth because music fandom in Asia is about affiliation and identity. In Asia, an artist’s label is actually a label. And, as a label, you need to help your artists create a strong identity affiliation with consumers. Fans want a community. They want a point of view that is represented and symbolized by the artists and brands they love. Fans want connection. With the artist and each other. Connection lives on socials, especially things that don’t scale like chat groups, fan clubs and community outreach. There are 300 million middle class music consumers in China. If your label isn’t strongly branded on social media in China, you’re telling them that you’re not interested. You’re also missing a chance to build an artist community that spins a flywheel of revenue.

As an artist who has been releasing records and touring for 30 years, I know firsthand that your audience IS your career. Would you rather own your direct relationship with them or rent it from third parties? What happens if the main platform you connect with them on disappears or they leave it? Do you know how to reach them directly and if you're ok to phone or text or email them? Socials and streams can indicate how many followers we have, but how do you surface your actual fans? And from that, how do you reveal and reward your superfans to learn from them and to deepen and strengthen that career-long support? We at Tradable Bits have been in the business of fandom for 13 years. Here are some of the ways we help our partners in music, sports and experiential events to know and grow their audiences and own their relationship with them. https://lnkd.in/gtiq6xbD

Spotlight on Auggie Velarde: Merging Music, Technology, and Art We’re excited to feature Auggie Velarde, a talented Peruvian musician and artist, in our latest influencer spotlight! 🌟 Auggie’s passion for technology and creativity shines through in everything he does. Here's a glimpse into his world: About Auggie: "I’m a Peruvian musician and artist. I love technology and experimenting creatively - really fascinated by the way we can express our human experience through different digital mediums." Content Creation Process: "I usually let myself go with whatever I am feeling. I try not to constrain myself to one specific outcome or output. From time to time, I’ll try to give myself some specific ideas that I want to explore but I try to be flexible on what that will lead me towards in the end. I really don’t have a same go-to process." Inspiration for Building an Online Career: "When I first started getting some messages from people asking to make more and how my work had really motivated them or helped them with something in their lives. Honestly, feeling like you are doing something that can have an impact on other people is enough to keep me going and feel like I can continue to grow alongside my passion." Auggie’s journey is a testament to the power of combining passion with technology. His story inspires us to embrace creativity and the endless possibilities it brings. #InfluencerSpotlight #MusicTech #CreativeJourney #Webfluential

I saw Twisters this weekend, and it's clear why it's been a huge summer hit. With Glen Powell in the lead role and a strong emphasis on Western culture - country music, cowboy apparel, and rodeo scenes - it’s resonating with one of the fastest-growing audience segments. At Endeavor, we’ve seen the value of this audience firsthand through the PBR. The growth of country music and Western culture has been remarkable, marked by rising charts, major brand deals, and new media targeting this demographic. ◼ Country music on Spotify has increased by 110% over the last 5 years, and has become the fastest growing genre in the industry. ◼ Western culture has expanded to diverse crowds, with events in NYC, LA, and international markets, and pop artists like Beyoncé and Post Malone embracing the genre. ◼ PBR has expanded its marketing strategy to reach new fans in urban markets, taking advantage of growing interest to land major brand partnerships. Country is having a moment, and it's something all brands and properties should consider to reach new audiences. Source: WSJ, PBR, SBJ
