Consulting

I help music, media and tech companies develop content, and make better decisions with strategic advisory and custom insights.

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.


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).
