We are passionate about providing musicians with the tools and knowledge they need to be independent and successful.

Our mission: sharing knowledge and helping musicians

From blog posts to agency work

From the very beginning, our readers have been a valuable source of inspiration and feedback. We received numerous messages and comments that helped us improve our content and identify new topics.

Over time, we realized that many of our readers were not only looking for information, but also needed practical support. So we began offering our first marketing agency services, specifically ads for Instagram, TikTok, and Spotify.

Insights from agency work

Comparing the efficiency of funnels and platforms such as Spotify

During our time as a marketing agency, we gathered many valuable insights. One of the most important lessons learned was comparing the efficiency of funnels versus platforms such as Spotify.

• Spotify: Although Spotify is a great platform for distributing music, we found that it was difficult for artists to build lasting relationships with their fan base there.
• Funnels: In contrast, funnels offered a direct and controllable method of staying in touch with fans. Through targeted marketing measures, we were able to steer the fan journey and generate more engagement and revenue in the long term.

• Personalization: We were able to create targeted and personalized marketing messages that were better tailored to the needs and interests of each fan base.
• Sustainability: Funnels helped us build lasting relationships with our fan base, increasing engagement and long-term ROI.

The development process of our own software, IndieFunnels

In today's digital world, large platforms such as Spotify, TikTok, and Instagram are indispensable for musicians who want to increase their reach and gain new fans. However, there are also significant risks and challenges associated with using these platforms.

To address these challenges and achieve greater independence, we developed IndieFunnels,an all-in-one solution to make fan engagement and relationship management more efficient.

Today's focus: artist development

With increasing experience and feedback from our readers and customers, it became clear that many musicians need not only information but also personal support. This is how our MK Mentoring program came about. The goal of this program is to offer musicians tailored, intensive support that goes far beyond general advice.

Our vision is to create a world where musicians can be independent and successful without having to rely on large platforms or traditional structures. We want to create an environment that promotes innovation and gives musicians the freedom to shape their art according to their own ideas.
