Founder & CEO

.MUSIC (dotMusic) Top-Level-Domain Name Extension

(Music industry)

January 2004 — Present (5 years 11 months)

.music is the web domain extension representing the global music community, giving music entities a unique identity online. Not only does it increase a brand's visibility on the net, .music removes second-guessing & confusion by immediately associating a brand’s line of business with a memorable identity: music.

Why .MUSIC?

• .music is self-explanatory, memorable and enhances brand recognition
• Increases brand visibility online
• Dedicated domain branding vs. subdomains e.g Nokia.music > music.nokia.com
• Enables market targeting & segmentation of your brand's music-related activities
• Improves search ranking (SEO), marketing campaigns & conversion rates
• Minimizes clicks to get to specific information
• Enables direct-to-browser search (as opposed to only relying on search engines)
• Protect and control your brand/intellectual capital/trademark/copyright
• Gives opportunity to offer customized domains to affiliates/vendors/partners
