Eric Klein’s Summary

I do fanbase marketing and analytics - using digital marketing techniques such as Web 2.0+, social networking, and other new technologies to promote musicians, speakers, writers, artists, and music related businesses while establishing robust data warehouses and analytics to track performance and create actionable information.

I'm currently contracted full-time for C3 Presents' three divisions of festival marketing, concert marketing, and artist management.

I combine my 23+ years of experience in technology and consulting with 5+ years most recently as a youth worker and the last 6+ years helping young artists develop their careers to stay on top of how to most effectively reach and retain fans. My goal in life is to help equip college and high students to lead fulfilling and productive lives that match their deepest desires.
