Earlier this month I was invited to do a re-run of the Music and Marketing show I did for the Brand Network last year.

This was for the last meeting of the Ecademy Blackstar group for the year and I took the chance to write a new song, re-do some of the examples to include an Elton John number and a new Jazz standard and revise the Rolling Stones set on personal branding.

I also tightened up the set to deliver a really tight run time of just over 30 minutes and covered personal branding, building reputation, getting your story tight and some lessons on networking and brand guidelines. I was lucky enough to be asked to do it at the Amadeus centre in little Venice where they have an awesome grand piano. I took my own mike and the trusty Roland street cube for the vocal.

I think this would make a great keynote for a marketing conference as it would lighten the mood and set the tone for the day. The show can be expanded to an hour or so or delivered as a tight 30 minutes as I did on this occasion. So any of you event organisers who’d like something different – give us a shout.

Here is a ten minute edit of the show to give you a flavour – hope you like it.
