Strategic Advisory I work with companies navigating major shifts in music, media, and technology. Recent projects have included:

• Advising music tech startups on label partnership strategy and business development.

• Helping streaming platforms develop content strategies and sharpen their content differentiation.

• Working with media companies to evaluate AI music opportunities and risks.

• Supporting investment firms with due diligence on music industry deals.

• Monthly retainers or project-based engagements, depending on scope and timeline.

Research & Analysis Sometimes you need someone to dig into a specific question and come back with a clear-eyed assessment. I provide:

• Competitive landscape analysis (who's doing what, and why it matters).

• Market trend reports.

• Consumer behavior insights (what the data actually means).

• Deliverables can include written reports, presentations, or briefings—whatever format is most useful.

Content Strategy & Production I help companies develop and execute content that demonstrates subject matter expertise. This includes:

• Editorial strategy and positioning (finding your differentiated point of view).

• Thought leadership content (white papers, industry reports, analysis pieces).

• Newsletters and ongoing publication strategy.

• Podcast and video concepts, production, and hosting.

What I Bring

• Decades covering and working in music, media, and technology, including stints at Rolling Stone and Amazon Music.

• A network across labels, streaming platforms, tech companies, and media organizations.

• Experience explaining complex industry dynamics clearly, whether that's for internal teams or external audiences.

• Understanding of how business models, technology, and culture intersect (and where they don’t).
