This week’s guest is Brian Zarlenga, general manager of the revolutionary music software and technology company Output. Brian's career in the music business has taken him from the sales team at a major label to handling licensing at a publisher, and finally to marketing where he would develop his expertise. We chat about staying true to your brand, always pushing for innovation, the challenges of product launches, and how musicians can benefit from embracing marketing.
In this episode, we'll dig in on...
Not following the playbook
Identifying your goals and setting milestones
Seeing your music as a product
Overnight product launches
Marketing as storytelling
Taking a chance on a startup
Word of mouth as an extension of your brand
