MEIEA Meets Digital Distribution Webinar October 17th!
 

On Friday, October 17th, we'll be hosting another MEIEA Meets webinar at 1pm CST. This session will focus on digital distribution and will feature Mike Fink, Senior Director, Creative Services, from Distrokid and MEIEA Board Member Scott LeGere (Augsburg University) as  they lead a discussion on "Distrokid- Digital Tools for 21st Century Artists".

Long an innovator in the distribution space, Distrokid has always led with a "be prolific" mantra offering creators a unique service model allowing unlimited song uploads and supporting today's trend of dripping singles throughout a given season or year. As the platform has matured, Distrokid has also expanded well past offering only distribution services and can now serve as an artist hub offering a myriad of marketing and promotional tools and platforms.
