What makes an artist-brand partnership meaningful, beyond a simple shoutout on social media? Today I talk with Dave Godowsky, a musician who’s also worked the other side of the street – in Artist Relations, A&R and with brands that musicians know and love. We talk about how brands can foster authentic artist relationships, the value of word-of-mouth marketing, and how artist feedback can be best used in product development. Dave also shares his experience of partnering with artists like Jacob Collier and Alicia Keys. It’s a really fun conversation   Shoutouts mentioned:  Jacob Collier Audience Choir- Native Instruments Native Instruments + Alicia Keys Orchid Synth- Kevin Parker Ink Audio Ribbons App Life App - XLN Audio   The Music Tectonics podcast goes beneath the surface of the music industry to explore how technology is changing the way business gets done.
