UNLV Alumnus to Debut iAM DIGITAL at CTIA Show 2013
The entire music technology ecosystem gathers under one roof for iAm Digital!
LOS ANGELES, May 20, 2013- UNLV Alumnus and Digital Mind State CEO Mike Johns announces the collocation of iAm Digital™ “Symbiotic Media: Fighting for the Users” with CTIA 2013, May 20-23, in Las Vegas, NV. Asseverating the necessity of iAm Digital, Digital Mind State (creative marketing and consultancy agency) posits that the nascence of an increasingly virtual marketplace calls for the music industry’s willingness to envision an ecosystem of openness, good digital citizenship, and effortless accessibility. The customer and/or consumer is now the fan and/or the user. Digital Mind State CEO Mike Johns suggests: “From the days of Soulja Boy to the “Gangnam Style” rapper Psy, it’s been well documented how musicians are taking advantage of social media. Yet, little time is devoted to discussing how musicians can optimize their opportunities via divers technologies such as online video platforms—or even how an artist gets paid from streaming music. iAm Digital is designed to help empower artists and indie labels to maximize their revenue. Fighting for our users is now self-preservation. Think of it as media symbiosis: we need each other to survive.”
CTIA 2013 conference-goers may attend iAm Digital sessions, which will feature executive-level panelists discussing the trends, challenges, business models, and opportunities facing the wireless entertainment market including: the future of mobile music and the great expectations for mobile film/TV; the growing market for mobile games; branded entertainment; peer-to-peer networking; etc.
Slated to present on iAM Digital’s Game Spitter! Keynote Speaker line-up include the following: Manish Jha (The NFL)—“How The NFL Is Using The Power of Mobility” Jim Cannella (The Grammys)—“How The GRAMMYs Optimize The Power of Mobility & Social TV” Doug Barasch (Universal Enterprise)—“The People Formerly Known As the Customer!” Jesse Flores (Formerly of EMI)—“Record Labels of the Future” Yoshi Goto (Computer Forensic Analyst for Park County, CO Sheriff’s Office)—“How Technology, Social Media Have Changed Law Enforcement” Courtesy of iAM Digital, CTIA Attendees may enter to win backstage access at the King of the Mic Tour featuring Ice Cube.
