Workshops & Mentorings

empower artists, ignite ideas, elevate careers

The more we share, the further we go – so let’s grow together! Whether it’s at a networking event, a university talk or online: we love connecting with artists and helping them evolve. From product & release management to artist promotion & marketing, social media & content management or simply taking the first steps on your journey as a professional artist – we’ve got you covered. Through one-on-one mentorings, workshops and talks, we provide the building blocks for artists – they just need to put them together. Let’s turn those ideas into action and watch them grow!

  • This workshop guides emerging artists through the transition from creative passion to sustainable entrepreneurship. Participants will learn what distinguishes an artist from an artistpreneur and which strategic steps are needed to build a financially viable music career. Combining theory with practical examples, the session explores diverse revenue streams, monetization strategies and real-life best practices. A strong focus is placed on financial awareness, including how to structure income and expenses, plan resources effectively and create a foundation for long-term economic sustainability.

  • This workshop helps artists build a strong and recognizable identity in an increasingly saturated music landscape. Starting from the inner core, participants will define their vision, mission and artistic foundation before developing their story, archetypes and creative world. From there, the process moves into visual identity and tone of voice, creating a cohesive and authentic brand presence. The goal is to provide a clear understanding of artist identity and branding while guiding participants step by step towards creating their own structured and consistent brand book.

  • This workshop equips artists with the tools to approach social media strategically, from initial idea to content production and publishing. Through a combination of theory and hands-on exercises, participants will develop their own content strategy, including content pillars, formats and an editorial plan. The session also covers how to efficiently organize production workflows and plan content creation in dedicated time slots. Supported by practical tool demos, the goal is to leave participants with a clear, actionable roadmap to grow their visibility and present their brand consistently across platforms.

  • This workshop provides artists with a structured approach to planning and executing music releases. Participants will learn how to assess their readiness, build the foundation of a release campaign and develop strategies that align with their goals. Key topics include timeline creation, budgeting, marketing and promotion, as well as the practical execution of a release. The session also covers post-release evaluation and continuous development, ensuring artists can refine their approach over time and build effective, sustainable release strategies.
