Key takeaways from our webinar on music, data, and storytelling

Last Wednesday, September 25, we hosted our first member webinar of the year, where we walked through our popular report, The State of Data in the Music Industry.

Co-presented by W&M founder Cherie Hu and lead report author Michael Zhang, our session brought together over 130 of our members to explore current-day challenges and opportunities at the intersection of music, data, and storytelling.

Below, we recap the key themes and discussions from the webinar, along with some bonus responses to audience questions we couldn't address live. You can follow along and watch back the webinar recording in the embedded video.
