Our panelists will discuss non-traditional licenses with brands being more open to new ideas and integrating Facebook apps, downloads, etc.; how brands and agencies execute the artist & music involvement for their campaigns; and how labels and agencies can be creative in accessing various budgets to involve artist fanbases and maximize brand impact. Panelists will include Bonny Dolan from Comma Music, Eric Johnson from DDB, Stump Mahoney from Draftfcb, Gabe McDonough from Leo Burnett, Chuck Bein from See Music and Michael Pallen from VerveLife; moderated by Jeremy Peters of Ghostly International.
