Here's just some of the advantages when considering a festival deployment with the n-gage.io software and customisable mobile app. ✅ Engagement can be high, as your audience has already proved their interest by downloading. ✅ Licensing an app and back office solution can be modest compared to percentage spend on social media and other direct marketing activity. ✅ Communication is direct, as push notifications come directly to an opted-in app user’s phone. We also facilitate opted-in email marketing too. ✅ An owned channel becomes a place that organisers can monetise by selling sponsorships and paid for content - with strong potential to neutralise spend. ✅ Use of our 'Capture Your Day' branded frames in-camera function, for sharing direct to social takes engagement viral. ✅ Collection of invaluable data insights, thanks to our geo-fencing analysis, heat maps and audience segmentation tools can be a game changer. ✅ A year-round personal medium for sharing latest news, and spin-off events with fans, without the need to cut through the noise of social channels.

We often dream of an idealistic and happy life on our planet, in our country, and in our city, but we always sigh and think that it is a utopia. And none of us seems willing to take action to make this dream a reality! But JazzYYC does! JazzYYC is not just another organization. It's not about making money. It's not about staging fancy concerts for the elite. JazzYYC is all about the young generation of Calgary! This is the core mission of the organization – supporting the youth of Calgary, the future of our city. Across Canada, JazzYYC stands out as the only jazz society that not only organizes festivals but also helps the younger generation access jazz music education. I couldn't find another such organization. Today, sustainability is a buzzword. Everyone claims to be sustainable, even tobacco companies... But true sustainability is actually very rare in any industry. JazzYYC is an excellent example of what sustainability can look like. One model we use at JazzYYC is to organize events in cafes, jazz clubs, and other venues in Calgary, allowing ALL Calgarians to listen to jazz - many of our events are free of charge. Thus, even those who can't afford tickets to fancy concerts can attend jazz concerts, and local small businesses have more clients and more money. We allow young jazz musicians to play alongside big names in the Calgary jazz scene in front of an audience. Isn't this wonderful? Isn't this something truly different? Isn't this real care for the future generation and the future of our community? You can support this great thing by participating in our 50/50 raffle. Currently, we've raised over 1700 CAD. This means that by spending just a minimum of 10 CAD, you'll have a chance to win half of the total amount, which is now 1700 CAD and, hopefully, will be more by May 1st. Let’s support our jazz community in Calgary for the price of just one espresso or americano! Tourism Calgary, Travel Alberta, City of Calgary I dream of the day when people from across Canada (and why only Canada) visiting Calgary each year to attend the Calgary International Jazz Festival! Together, we can make it happen. 😊 ❤️ #jazzyyc #yyccc #yyc #blueskycity #tourismcalgary #travelalberta

🌟 Highlighting “Pilot Project for Audience Diversification in Contemporary Jazz”, organised by Assejazz! This project consists of the creation of a European programme for the exchange of jazz proposals through collaboration with 3 entities similar to Assejazz, dedicated to the dissemination and internationalisation of this musical genre! Key aspects of the project include: 🤝 Collaboration and Exchange: the 3 entities will visit Assejazz to share practices and tools, focusing on addressing challenges between jazz venues and new audience profiles. 🎤 Meetings/concerts: 12 in total (4 for each entity), held over 12 months, to inspire and develop tools to reflect on issues such as the reduction of the environmental impact of venues and the interaction with audiences that are not very integrated among current audiences (young people, women and citizens not professionally linked to musical disciplines) and practical tools to include audiences in the reflection and transformation of music venues. 👉 Find more about the project in the link: https://lnkd.in/dWNUiimv #LIVEMX #beyondmusic #livemusicsector #creativeeuropeprogramme #musicmoveseurope #livemxprojectshowcase

I had the opportunity to present the African music industry for a room of investors at the SuperReturn conference in Cape Town last week, here are my 6 key pointers. Do you think I missed anything? 1. Global trend towards investment in music rights; Google's investment in Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI), Blackstone's investments in major catalogues (fx Timberlake and Bieber), industry analysts report a consistent 5-10% annual return on music right funds. 2. Currently only 1% of the global royalties are from Sub Sahara Africa however 15% of the global population are in Sub Sahara Africa, this is presenting a huge growth opportunity as the continent gets online. 3. Africa is the fastest growing music industry in the world with an impressive 34% growth in 2022. IFPI 4. There has been numerous investment and M&A activities across Africa the last couple of years: Chocolate City Music, AFRICORI, YNBL, Ziiki Media, A.I Records and Mavin Records (public rumours). 5. There’s limited reporting and tracking of industry performance, only South Africa is included in official global reports, with that in mind the African music is expected to have a market size of $300m in 2025, an impressive 4x growth from 2021 to 2025. This is still peanuts compared to Korean led by K-POP ($10bn) and LATAM led by Reggaeton ($1.1bn) that Africa is walking in the footsteps of. 6. The unique market structures (or lack of the same) has made it difficult for global music (and movie) streaming services to convert awareness to real traction across key markets in Africa, this requires either (1) a local approach to business model and monetisation or (2) a focus on monetising outside of Africa. (Side note: this is not only the case in Africa but also in India and South East Asia that I'm aware of where especially access and cost of internet is a barrier) Thanks to Niall Naidoo for facilitating the discussion and Derrick Ashong for his unique insights into the music industry as well as a thanks to all the conference participants for intriguing conversations.

Some big updates for Joshy Bee!

🌍 Bridging the Gap in the Music Industry: A Call for International Collaboration 🌍 In a recent enlightening discussion with Momentual (formerly Music Cities Events) my partner at Africa Rising Music Conference Namakau Socika delved into the critical challenges that South African artists encounter concerning mobility in the music industry. The conversation highlighted the significant influence that international companies wield and the transformative impact they could achieve by supporting initiatives such as mentorship programs and international internships. At the Africa Rising Music Conference, we are deeply committed to these programs, advocating for more involvement from our global counterparts. The goal is to foster equal opportunities for African executives within the global music ecosystem. This endeavor is not merely about providing opportunities; it's about enriching the industry by introducing diverse perspectives and authentic representations of African talent both in the boardroom and on stage. We believe that this collaboration holds a dual benefit. It not only empowers the recipients of these opportunities but also enhances diversity in the workplace, leading to a more inclusive and representative music industry worldwide. Let's unite to create a lasting impact and ensure global representation matches the diversity of music industry audiences. We invite international partners to join us in paving the way for a truly inclusive future. #AfricaToTheWorld #DiversityInMusic #AfricaRisingMusicConference #InternationalCollaboration #ArtistMobility #MusicExecutives #GlobalMusic
