Session: “FINDING THE WORLD’S MOST RECEPTIVE AUDIENCES”

Information overload and our increasingly digitized world has made connectivity a priority in every situation. Today we find it’s easier than ever to connect TO people, but harder than ever to connect WITH people. As consumers recalibrate their lives with intention, live experiences are becoming more of a balancing act for our new reality. Live music, specifically, is an incubator for emotional intensity. Artists leverage this emotion to deliver stellar performances night after night. Fans create bonds with other fans. For brands, these highly emotional audiences are more receptive to messaging than in other mediums.
