Cultivating Fandom in the Streaming Era
The focus of the music industry is shifting towards cultivating strong fan relationships as it transitions from the 'streaming decade.' Previously, the industry operated under a model that emphasized passive listening, where one-size-fits-all solutions prevailed. As streaming growth slows, it becomes essential for platforms, artists, and labels to actively engage and nurture fandom through tailored experiences. This includes developing diverse pricing models and segmentation strategies that create unique interactions between artists and their most devoted supporters.
