SMALL IS THE NEW BIG
Participants at NARIP sessions have achieved direct access to key decision makers, secured deals and formed lasting professional relationships through these sessions. New collaborations and ongoing working relationships have developed which are just a few of the benefits that result from the SMALL session. Come meet executives who are otherwise difficult, and in some cases virtually impossible, to reach or personally interact with.
THANK YOU
Special thanks to Nadine Riede, Berlin Goes SXSW and Berlin Music Week for sponsoring this event.

ABOUT THE GUEST EXPERTS
Isaac Bess, YouTube Music (from Silicon Valley)
Currently head of YouTube Music, Isaac Bess creates and structures high-impact strategic content partnerships for the company. Prior to YouTube, he was Senior Director of Global Business Development at IODA where he created and executed IODA business strategy including expansion, client relations, finance and marketing. He identified and negotiated all retail and promotional agreements on behalf of IODA clients including deals with iTunes, Amazon, Microsoft, Last FM, MySpace, Sky TV, Virgin and YouTube. He supervised top level deal integration as well as IODA’s global operations outside of the US and UK, including partnerships in Japan, France, Spain, Scandinavia, Brazil, Mexico, China, Taiwan, Israel, the UAE and Australia. He played a key role in the 2009 acquisition of IODA by Sony Music Entertainment, specifically around IODA’s role as digital distributor for SME’s myriad independent assets. Prior to this, he was General Manager at Quannum Projects, an independent label, where he was responsible for brand development and design, marketing and publicity, production and distribution, royalties and business management where he helped facilitate gross sales of $10M+ in a five year span. At Quannum he negotiated distribution and licensing agreements, including song placements in mass market films (New Line, Lions Gate) and advertising (Coca Cola, Motorola, Saturn), as well as international, domestic and digital distribution agreements (Sony Japan, Universal Australia, Epitaph Records, Caroline Distribution, iTunes, Napster). He planned and executed third-party sponsorship promotions with companies such as Toyota, Adidas and Nike. For a brief period he taught a class at San Francisco State University on the independent music business with Lydia Popovich, now of iTunes. He has been a columnist for Flyer Magazine, to which he contributed a monthly lifestyle column about Tokyo. His first job in the music business was interning at Matador Records where he was promoted to receptionist, then assisted with domestic distribution, and was then promoted to run the (one-person) international department. Prior to the advent of email, this involved waking up rather early to call the UK.
