Music Panel Podcast: Doing Good, Only Better

Posted by melissaw on May 11, 2012

When done right, artist-cause collaborations can raise vital funds, energy and awareness for an issue or non-profit organization, and can help to bring new audiences to musicians, while deepening the relationships artists have with existing fans. In March, Air Traffic Control Executive Director Erin Potts moderated the panel Doing Good, Only Better, which explored effective strategies for musicians (and their managers) looking to raise money, awareness or engagement for a meaningful cause. Other speakers on the panel were Andy Bernstein, Executive Director of HeadCount Inc, Arcade Fire's Marika Anthony-Shaw, and Mike Martinovich of Flatiron Borman Management.
