Brands Are Music Fans Too

There was a time when artists working with brands was seen as a sell out. To be fair, many of the early sponsorship deals were badly planned and executed. Promoters too, have not always managed to marry live music with brands in a way that works for the artist and the audience. Over time, music and brands have learned to work more closely without compromising their integrity, and many partnerships now deliver outstanding value for the brand, the band and the fan.
