Changing Mindsets in Music Innovation with Michele Tharp

Dec. 31, 2018

To marketer Michele Tharp, innovation is creating a better way to do something, and working with an inner desire to make a change. She focuses – as we do – on changing mindsets — new ways to work with technology, development, and platforms. She shares with us two current projects connecting both public radio stations and VR to artists and their audiences.

Guest: Michele Tharp, Marketing Consultant

She is also the music industry advisor to ACIDVR, a VR management platform, aimed to empower musicians to further engage with their fans through the power of VR and 360 video.
