Independent artists aren’t only creators. They’re entrepreneurs.

Project

Ally wanted a credible role in independent music beyond traditional sponsorship. Financial empowerment created a natural territory: treat artists like the entrepreneurs they are, and build a platform around the knowledge, access and capital needed to grow their careers.

Earn Your Masters grew into a multi-year artist and creator platform — spanning 10 cultural tentpoles across Art Basel, SXSW, NYFW and beyond, with education, mentorship, performances, promotions and grants — extending Ally’s role as an ongoing partner in creators’ financial and entrepreneurial growth.

My Role

  • Co-developed platform strategy and programming across cultural tentpoles including Art Basel, SXSW and NYFW
  • Helped grow the Ally partnership through new artist, mentor and programming opportunities
  • Translated artist financial and career needs into opportunities Ally could credibly support

Collaborative — across brand, artist, mentor and partnership teams.
