The Indie Managers Association (IMA) re-launched a new website with a new members-only section for independent music management and self-managed artist communities.
From the Music Industry News Network press release:
Indie Managers Association, a company that provides resources to educate and promote this and the next generation of personal music managers and self-managed artists, took a major step in its re-launch with the announcement of a new members-only section on its company website. The company announced added benefits and resources that make the job of management and self-management easier, more rewarding and less frustrating. The company also launched the IMA Artist Observatory Radio, an internet radio station featuring music from its Members.The service resembles that of a coupon club — after paying an upfront membership fee ($75) you’re offered a number of discounts on other services not provided by the IMA itself (see the “Benefits” section). Not too shabby, not too amazing. On another note, the website contributes to the discussion regarding the term “indie” (triggered in a comment to an earlier post about Bitmunk). IMA uses the term “self-managed artists”, which suggests entrepreneurial independence without hampering community development. An interesting alternative. What do you think? ]]>
