The business of music is now more so than ever is in a state of constant evolution and re-invention. Bands, Musicians, DJ's, Promoters, Managers and Small Label owners alike fall equally into this creative world, as they also do into the role of small businesses and enterprises. The current climate in the music industry makes this a necessary step for many, whilst new technologies are creating exciting new possibilities, and empowering creative individuals with the ability to establish new business models which are transforming the music industry as we know it.
So, how to progress to the next level?
Focus Wales presents an opportunity to hear from a selection of those who have been there and done it themselves, and to share in their experiences along the way.

Sesiwn Un: Digital Marketing 101
Bydd David Riley a Sam Mcgregor o Good Lizard yn arwain sesiwn fydd yn arwain artistiaid, rheolwyr, asiantiaid a labeli drwy hanfodion strategaeth farchnata ddigidol dda. Bydd hyn yn amrywio o rwydweithio cymdeithasol, i hysbysebu a chysylltiadau cyhoeddus, i drawsnewid i werthiant uniongyrchol-i-gefnogwyr cyson. Bydd y sesiwn hon, sy’n seiliedig ar flynyddoedd o brofiad digidol ym maes cerddoriaeth, yn gosod y sylfaen angenrheidiol ac yn cynnig rhai strategau ac awgrymiadau yn ystod y sesiwn.
3.45pm - 5.00pm
Sesiwn Dau: Holi ac Ateb Estynedig
Yn ystod yr egwyl, bydd y cyfranogwyr yn cael eu hannog i ofyn cwestiynau a fydd yn cael eu hateb yn ystod yr ail sesiwn. Bydd y cwestiynau hyn yn cael eu hateb i’r grŵp mewn perthynas uniongyrchol ag amgylchiadau arbennig unigolion ond hefyd fel pwyntiau ehangach cysylltiedig â marchnata digidol. Felly bydd hyn yn gweithio fel ffordd o roi cyngor ystyrlon ac ymarferol ond hefyd fel ffordd o arddangos sut y gellir cymhwyso’r syniadau a’r cysyniadau a gafwyd yn ystod sesiwn un.
