CHALLENGE

From the pages of international press to

the desks of major NYC fashion

executives, there is a passionate

conversation brewing --

How do we create a New York Fashion Week experience that makes sense to designers, press, buyers, and the fashion loving public?

SOLUTION

In our minds, the Fashion Industry, is a lot like their sister Music and Marketing industries, and is also on the path toward revolution.

With an intention to carve out a new sustainable model in the music industry, we found a niche within the “new” fashion industry. Launch NYC is a strategic platform to bring our vision a step closer life. Keith Shocklee Productions and #MassivelyEpic partnered to sponsor and produce the sound for Launch NYC 2014.

CHALLENGE

It has been and still is, a challenge for

independent artists to get their voice

heard. Anyone can write a song, but how

do you get people to listen?

How can we leverage our access to a global platform to help independent emerging artists, musicians and producers get their voice heard?

SOLUTION

#MassivelyEpic Radio airs every Tuesday Night at 9P ET. Bringing Groove to the Island, Ravin Dave curates the show featuring a combination of DJ sets and independent artists from across the country.

Spectrum City B-Side Radio airs every Thursday Night at 9P ET. Going CRATE DIGGING into the world of Open Source Music to find and Play "dope music" the word "genre" doesn't apply.

CHALLENGE

It has been and still is, a challenge for

independent artists to get their voice

heard. Anyone can write a song, but how

do you get people to listen?

How can we raise money as a collective in order to fund upstart costs and studio space?

SOLUTION

#ArtistETransform was our second campaign initiative designed to recruit artists to and build awareness about our collective.

Absolut happen to launch a creative artist fund campaign around the same time, so it was a natural fit to enter for a $20,000 grand prize. Through social and voting we drew enough votes for our entry to be selected as a top five finalist by Pitcfork Media.

CHALLENGE

When Change is the only constant,

And The game has changed,

How are you changing your game?

Artists today need to think in a different

way in order to create less noise and

more signal through the application of

strategy, tactics, and measurement with

digital tools.

SOLUTION

#ArtistEngage is a workshop series that Educates Artists through collaborative dialogue in order to Encourage participation, Action and evolution in our community.
