The ‘Brand’ New Patrons

Thursday, March 17
2:00PM - 3:00PM

Austin Convention Center
Room 17A
531 E 4th St

Are brands the new art patrons?

Brands have gone beyond traditional sync licensing & sponsorship deals to work directly with artists in more collaborative, integrated & creative ways exposing artists to new audiences & providing resources that the traditional record deal might not otherwise provide. As a result, the brand-artist patronage has emerged as a viable revenue stream amidst dwindling sales and touring revenue.

This panel will talk about the shift in attitude toward commercialization of artistry, the brand-artist relationship & ways the evolving partnership landscape benefits artists, brands & fans alike in ways that extend beyond what the traditional record deal provides.
