Hello There:
What an excellent platform for artist development. I am quite familiar with Mr. Perry’s work on stage and his DVD’s. I would like to open a dialog with the Development Agent/ Rep for William Morrisand this project or the VP of Development at WMA or Narrowstep. In this new order of business the industry executive the recognizes and clearly understands the synergy of content to platforms will become a key revenue center.
I have worked with several different synergistic aspects of the entertainment industry cable, music, Live production, Digital Media/ ISP and Artist
management. I have 15+ years in the business as a brand manager, a VP of Sales and Marketing. I welcome the opportunity to have a discourse or to bounce ideas. .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
