The Era of Radio 5.0: Business-Oriented Curation

15/08 · 11:00 - 11:45
Belong - The Human Code

From the Golden Age of radio to the present day, we notice that some brands are creating their own customized radio stations, focusing on customer experience, content curation geared toward business, lifestyle, and music. Forbes Radio, for example, was developed as a multi-platform audio product. This involves music curation, editorial identity, and artistic decisions. We bring to this panel some of the visions and intersections between music and business, podcasts as interesting trends, as more humanizing technology. What are the visions and final objectives of customized radio stations and streaming services? Negotiation and management of complex partnerships, different business models from Deezer and how to integrate them into the Brazilian context. Enjoy the sound!
