For this episode we head back to the hustle and bustle of Music City and catch up with former pro-drummer turned entertainment marketer, Brian Bauer, President of Bauer Entertainment Marketing (BEM). We immediately jump into learning what BEM does as well as interesting discussions on trends in live events and some of the most important things for venues and events to establish. We peel back the layers of small business ownership and talk about the pros and cons of striking out on your own and how Brian learned a lot from previous jobs when shaping his company and what type of boss he wanted to be to his employees. We talk shop about stats, CRO, and what data you should be paying attention to with your shows. We learn about Brian’s previous roles before starting his own business, such as being a successful touring drummer including some gigs in the Nashville area with Cage the Elephant and Chris Stapleton. Looking to dive into data and find out some interesting things you should be tracking? Thinking about starting your own business and wondering what that is like and what challenges you might face? For all of the above and more, enjoy this episode all about live events and what it is like leading the client voted “top-rated entertainment marketing agency.”
