Ahead of 20-Year Anniversary, Fusebox Festival Rebrands to Fusebox Adds Year-Round Programming "Fusebox Festival is still very much alive, well, and growing. We have big plans and dreams for the festival, but we felt like we were hitting the edges of what we could do in our old model," says Ron Berry Fusebox Executive + Co-Artistic Director. "It became clear to us that there was a real need and opportunity to share these extraordinary artists with our communities throughout the year. For thousands of people, Fusebox represents their only chance to experience so many of these artists, and we needed a model that allowed for more connection points beyond the five days of our festival. This next chapter of Fusebox reflects our expanded vision, and is accompanied by a completely refreshed brand that speaks to the totality of our work, inclusive of our year-round programming and larger community partnerships." "This newly aligned strategy and branding is designed to make what's so unique and irresistible about Fusebox apparent to everyone in our experience-loving city. The new identity and positioning is a broad invitation to experience moving, indescribable, world-class work that's proudly presented in Austin," said in-House CEO Michelle (Michu) Benaim S. Steiner.

Last Thursday we had round 2 of our Creative Supper Club. We had the pleasure of hosting 10 Grow London Global companies, alongside international investors. Facilitating engaging discussions, I helped steer conversations with Hannah, Pepijn, and Ⓜ️ Mathew on the topic of international investment in the UK and EU. Some key insights we learned: ✏ UK regulations can offer a more streamlined path for raising investment capital compared to other markets in the EU. ✏ Warm introductions significantly increase investor responsiveness and interest in reviewing company pitches. ✏ Investors prioritise not only financials but also assess the caliber of the team and talent. Additionally, platforms like Glassdoor ratings are influential in investor assessments.

Here's my latest story with Swati Pandey and Ainslie Chandler about the first foray of South By Southwest – otherwise known as SXSW – in Sydney, and its economic impact on the city. Nicole Kidman, Baz Luhrmann and Chance the Rapper will join business leaders from Canva, Atlassian and Tesla at Sydney’s upcoming South by South West festival, a first for the harbor city that’s struggled to reverse years of Covid closures and grappled with restrictive night entertainment laws. The event, which starts Oct. 15 and is the first iteration of SXSW to be held outside North America, is expected to attract around 27,000 visitors and inject A$24 million ($15.4 million) into New South Wales state economy, according to the government. Arts and recreation in Australia was the second-hardest hit industry behind accommodation and food during the pandemic, and also much slower to recover. But long before Covid, as far back as 2014 when Sydney introduced lockout laws to snuff out alcohol-fueled violence, many bars and entertainment venues shuttered. In 2021 Sydney’s first 24 Hour Economy Commissioner was installed in a bid to make its nightlife more diverse and vibrant, while prioritizing attracting major events, art installations and live music. https://lnkd.in/gSYU6DtW

Steam Next Fest Tip 12 Don't stop outreach! You should be reaching out to relevant media and content creators pre-Next Fest, during Next Fest and even post-Next Fest (as long as your demo is still playable). There are too many demos available during Next Fest, and it's only a week long. As long as your demo is available to play, you should be pitching it. You only get one shot at Next Fest, so get the most out of every minute of it. #GameIndustry #VideoGameIndustry #Steam #NextFest

This was a good example of timing announcements and releases to generate wishlists and get your game in the top spots of festivals. Take aways: -Initial announcement includes something unique. -Ensure enough time for feedback from demo before any big events. In this case, Steamfest. -Longer Demo's are better for festivals. -Playtime directly correlates to how well your game sells.

K-pop celebrities BLACKPINK are stepping into the world of digital collectibles🖤🎀 VeVe, a digital collectibles platform, is launching a digital collection inspired by BLACKPINK's song "Pink Venom". From May 22-26, fans can collect items featuring the four BLACKPINK members, each in outfits by DEMOBAZA. The collection also includes 3D models of each member, a virtual stage, and a digital version of BLACKPINK's light stick. What’s in it for collectors? ✔️ Collect all four versions of any member to create a special 'Pink Venom' card. ✔️ This card gives access to an event where you can get an extra unique digital item. Key takeaways from this collab: ▪ K-pop fans are spread out globally and consume content digitally. Which makes digital collectable a great fit. ▪ Working with BLACKPINK, who have a huge influence on fashion and youth culture, is a smart move. 📌 I will post more information about Blackpink’s digital collection impact in my newsletter (link in the profile). #Web3 #DigitalFashion
