StubHub’s CMO, Jennifer Betka, Joins #SMWNYC To Discuss If Live Events Belong In Our Newsfeed

Posted on by Tyler Becker

You’re at a concert, sporting event, or performance, and it feels like the entire time you notice people around you experiencing the event completely through their mobile device. It’s the great debate of using an iPhone vs. a lighter at your favorite concert. Is one better than the other? Are both acceptable?

At SMW New York, StubHub’s CMO, Jennifer Betka, will discuss these questions and themes alongside leaders from Music and Entertainment Momentum Worldwide, AEG Global Partnerships, and Atlantic Records. The session, “How Social Has Rocked the Live Music Experience” takes place Wednesday, February 24th at 4:30pm on the FWD Stage at The TimesCenter.

According to a recent study, 70% of Millennials feel that social media improves the live music experience. The majority of Millennials will take part in sharing music moments on social media while at a live event. In fact, most Facebook users prefer their newsfeed to show their friends at live events and experiences over anything else. Join us to hear and learn about which aspects of social are actually making music experiences better, and debate when social and brands belong and when it doesn’t.

The Rising Value of Social Media and Live Events: Atlantic Records’ Conversation at #SMWNYC with Camille Hackney

Posted on by Tess Kaytmaz

According to a recent study, 70% of Millennials feel that social media improves the live music experience, and the majority of Millennials will take part in sharing music moments on social media while attending a live event. In fact, most Facebook users prefer their newsfeed to show their friends at live events and experiences over anything else.

So, when does social belong in the music experience – before, during and after the show – and when does it not? When do brands belong in the social exchange? What content is really being watched and appreciated? How can and should the artists themselves take part – and in what channels and communities?

Atlantic Records is a staple record label with artists new and old. Their musicians range from ABBA, Foreigner and Bette Midler to Alt-J, Frightened Rabbit, Coldplay, Bruno Mars and Ed Sheeran. One of the leading minds of Atlantic Records is Camille Hackney, EVP Brand Partnerships & Licensing.

Camille will join us for SMW New York to discuss when and where social belongs in music and the industry, and whether or not social hurts the live music experience all-together. This session “How Social Has Rocked The Live Music Experience” will take place on Wednesday, February 24th at 4:30pm at the TimesCenter (FWD Stage).
