Expert Witness #261495
This expert has worked as an independent Music Producer/Consultant servicing the TV, Radio, Digital Media and Advertising communities. This expert's business is focused on music production, song licensing and creating Brand Partnerships. Concurrently, this expert serves as Director of Strategic Marketing for a digital audio technology company founded by an iconic music producer. This expert's role is multi-dimensional across a variety of industries: Consumer & Entertainment, Medical, and Aviation.
Most of this expert's career has been spent producing music for major Brands in the world of advertising. This expert is probably best known for work serving as SVP/Executive Music Producer. This position afforded executive level marketing experience while creating relationships at the highest levels of the music industry. This expert helped set the standard for music licensing which drives today's market. This expert helped break down the barriers between the music and ad industries by giving many famous artists the opportunity to lend their talents to brand advertising.
Over time, artists and Brands became an effective, in-demand marketing "solution". This expert oversaw many such deals and managed the relationships. This expert's skills in both copyright and contract law were honed during these years. As is the nature of the business, this expert helped fend-off inevitable copyright infringement suits (all of which were successfully defended), and repaired issues as they arose with artist/brand partnerships. This expert worked hand in hand with an attorney as problems arose; and while this expert never provided expert testimony as an outside consultant (he was contractually prevented from doing so), this expert has given depositions, provided testimony, created defense strategies and researched data.
From a marketing perspective, music has always been a critical element to consumer engagement. As the stigma of advertising melted away mostly due to music piracy, artists and record labels lined up at this expert's doorstep looking to make a deal.
Brands became the new major source of revenue replacing record sales. Brands loved the cache associated with these artists and their music, providing "instant equity". Pop and Rock artists were the first wave. The second wave was bigger, more intense and out of the box - Hip Hop. Wholesome brands were foregoing "morals clauses" in their contracts to align themselves with the Gansta element. And this expert knows, as this expert did many of those deals. And they wouldn't have been done if the data did not support the value of the partnership.
