STM provides measurable marketing benefits for sponsors and advertisers by running targeted campaigns that align emerging artists with relevant causes. During a campaign promoting Autism Awareness Month through digital voting for bands, over 7,000 unique visitors were driven to the site, 2,000 of whom newly registered their support. Detailed analytics showed most traffic came from the bands' fan bases. This low-cost campaign model allows one brand to underwrite multiple initiatives at once.

9. Case Study “Partnering with ShareTheMic is a dream come true for our band,
Kids of Survival. As committed supporters of environmental
causes, Kids of Survival’s partnership with ShareTheMic has
provided the opportunity and the resources to share our music with
the world while giving back to it as well. ShareTheMic connects
artists to non-profit groups that match their chosen causes for the
benefit of both parties. We are very excited to start Sharing The Mic
with not-for-profit environmental organizations in the coming
months. We love the idea of blending our “voices” for the greater
good.
As a band, we chose to represent all the STM Environmental non-profit
groups because we have been a "green" band for the last three years.
We are deeply committed to preserving the planet. We use only recycled
materials to manufacture and package our records, and use only
vegetable inks to print on them. We firmly believe that we are very lucky
to inhabit this beautiful, unique planet. We marvel at the idea that if our
orbit shifted three inches in any direction, or if the earth spun on a
slightly different axis, or if we were in a different spot in this solar
system, there would be no life of any kind here.
We feel that we owe it to our beautiful planet to treat it well, and to
continue to encourage and support research to keep Earth healthy
and beautiful. Kids of Survival supports research to develop
sustainable sources of energy, non-gas dependent cars, low
emission vehicles, wind farms, solar power, recycling, and better
means of disposing of harmful waste.
We, Kids of Survival, are grateful to ShareTheMic for providing us with a
way to use our music to spread the message and to do our part to raise
awareness of this worthy cause. A partnership with ShareTheMic allows
artists to connect with their fans to spread a positive message through
the non-profits of their choice. We strongly encourage bands and
musicians to check out ShareTheMic’s mission and to become a part of
this new, revolutionary movement. No matter what size your band is, or
how well known, you are never too small or too big to support a cause
that ignites your passion.” Dylan Lipari / Founder Kids of Survival

16. McDonald's isn't alone. Frank Cooper, chief consumer-engagement officer
Market at PepsiCo Americas Beverages, pointed to Green Label Sound, a platform
for independent artists that quietly promotes Mtn Dew, as an example of
how brands will shape the music industry.
"You'll see through Green Label Sound the rethinking of ownership of music, a
rethinking of how to monetize it, how to build the brand of an artist," he said.
"And I think you'll see where it's coming from artists, managers, record labels and
alternative methods of funding -- and brands will play an incredibly critical part in
McDonald's, Pepsi, Coca-Cola Troll for that."
Music Dealers
Up-and-Coming Artists Eric Sheinkop, president of Chicago-based Music Dealers, a business-to-

years, as his staff has grown to 30 people from three. Music Dealers

marketers save on fees and get cool points for introducing people to new music.
But don't count the labels out yet. Coca-Cola made a big splash with little-known
artist K'naan last month. K'naan's song "Wavin' Flag," with the lyrics rewritten for
marketability, is the centerpiece of its global World Cup campaign. Released last
month, it's already No. 1 in China, Mexico and Germany. Coke signed K'naan to
make appearances on some stops of its World Cup tour, leading up to the
tournament. He'll also be making appearances in South Africa.
But K'naan was already signed to Universal when Coke linked up with him. Joe
