At A2IM Indie Week 2012, a group of over 120 independent music business senior executives from around the globe participated in the 2012 A2IM Think Tank to tackle several issues facing independent labels today. The participating execs were divided into breakout groups of 10-12 and provided their discussion topic. Each group was asked to share experiences, brainstorm general best practices, and take notes of their group’s findings. A2IM gathered those notes and used them to construct this year’s Independent Label Roadmap.
The breakout topics covered at this year’s Think Tank were:
*Social Networks or Your Own Website?
*If Data is the Key to Music Revenue, What Should Labels Be Doing?
*Unit Sales Are Up, Sales Revenue Is Down – What Revenues Are You Growing?
*To Window or Not To Window on On-Demand Streaming Services?
*Is Commercial FM Radio Closed To Independent Labels?
*Is YouTube a Promotional Platform or a Significant Revenue Stream?
*Promo For What? When Is Free Valuable?
The Independent Label Roadmap is intended for A2IM members only. Please don’t share the Roadmap with non-members.
