Is Music Marketing With TikTok Still Viable - The New Music Business Podcast

Order THIRD EDITION of How to Make It in the New Music Business: https://book.aristake.com

Named one of Business Insider's "Power Players Using TikTok to Shape Music", Suzy Yoder launched YO SUZY in 2022 after serving as Head of Digital Marketing at Elektra Music Group. While leading a major label team, Suzy watched the social media landscape shift to reward artists and brands for compelling short-form vertical content. However, many teams are unable to keep up with the demand for consistent content, and cannot keep up with how quickly trends shift. Her company, YO SUZY, stands apart in its deep understanding of the power of short-form video platforms, the mechanics of how they work, and the reason music & brand teams have been hesitant to embrace them.
