About This Event

Technology is transforming the way we release music, pitch music for sync opportunities, track releases, and manage catalogues. Leveraging the right technology can help enhance metadata, monetize additional royalties, and place your music more efficiently.

Join alumni professionals as they give a brief demo of MDIIO (Music Data Intelligence In/Out), led by Sarah Martinico B.M. '13, manager of marketing and partnerships at MDIIO. In addition, they will provide a real-time submission to a sync brief from successful sync songwriter Moana Avvenenti B.M. '11, followed by feedback, tips, and next steps to landing a placement, from music supervisor Nikole Luebbe Sherman B.M. '15.

Participants will:

  • Take a thorough walk-through of the MDIIO platform.
  • Hear tips and tricks for optimizing the platform.
  • Gain better understanding of the process of sync placements.
