No. 1

Handwritten notes can be every bit as interesting, and far more exclusive, than the most highly polished digital content. It’s so rare in the music industry for fans to be able to own something genuine and unique that can’t be streamed or downloaded.

No. 2

It can be all too easy to get stuck inside a marketing echo-chamber. Get out of the office. Talk to people who don’t share the same passions or backgrounds as you. Sense-check your social ideas with your mum or even a stranger in the street.

No. 3

As social media marketing and platform adoption matures, the norm will be to think beyond platforms and focus first on values, behaviours and shared passions. The smart folks are doing this already, and seeing the real and game-changing results that come from it. Nail the human motivation, and people will take conversation and content wherever they choose to roam.
