The Third Leg: Ask the Brainiacs: Best Social Network For Music Sharing?

Mom, Dad, I’ve made it! I’m a Brainiac!

ericmorse:

Angela Sanchez
Sr. Director, D2C Marketing, Universal Music Group (@angelaAsanchez):

Dare I have to admit…Facebook! I think that’s the best user experience for user playing the song…

Jeff Fedor
Co-founder, social music-sharing app The Monstro / SXSW Social Charts (@jfedor):

Twitter: For ambient intimacy, and quickness

Kris Chen
SVP, A&R, XL Recordings (the man who brought you Adele) (@krischenxl):

To be honest I’d do it over Twitter because I feel like it reaches people the fastest. Twitter is there on my phone to alert me whenever I’m away from my computer.

Jeff Watson
VP, Digital Marketing, Warner Bros., Records (@iheartmissy):

At this point, Facebook - because it’s inline mobile, honestly. That image of the video/band is powerful. We’re visual creatures. If Twitter can figure out an inline situation, I might more inclined. If Pinterest will go video, I’ll be stoked.

Hussain Ismail
Social Media Director, Live Nation (@hussain):

Facebook. Most relevant audience, plus you can play in-site with a YouTube embed. Makes it easy.

Adam Samiljan
Dir., Digital Marketing, Fueled By Ramen (Paramore, fun., Panic! At The Disco) (@fueledbyadam):

Probably Facebook for its reach…but I love what you can do around Tumblr with Soundcloud…buy links, lyrics, the album cover, sharing and a simple/clean player.

Mike Fabio
Founder, Tiny Jetpack; former Dir., Digital Marketing at Warner Bros. Records (@tinyjetpack):

Depends what my goal is. Exposure? YouTube. Flexibility/engagement? Soundcloud.

Gurj Bassi
Atlantic Records Digital Marketing (@gurj):

I would pick Twitter because I would like to think people pay more attention there…

Drew Shannon
Grassroots Digital Marketing at Cornerstone (@drewshannon):

Soundcloud as an audio “hub” with integration with Facebook and Tumblr. Use other social networks to point to blog post with more info.

Gray Blue
Director, Music Industry Relations, Fan Bridge (@grayblue):

From a marketing standpoint, I would use Soundcloud and post to Twitter (and then everywhere else) … I mean, ONE network can’t be your answer if you’re a growing artist…

And what do YOU think? Weigh in.

A few months ago, my friend Jon from Clifton Motel and The Seams reached out to me about using one of my photos for his band’s upcoming release. Having been a big fan of them (and his band Down To Earth Approach before that), I didn’t hesitate in saying yes.
The new Seams EP Can’t Focus On The Rear View is available today, and it’s awesome. It’s been on repeat since he sent it to me a few weeks ago.
