Introduction

Social Media Marketing and Content Creation has become an ever increasing part of an indie artists daily life. Today there is not a scenario where an indie artist does not have to dedicate a major amount of time and effort to create and distribute this content to their fans using the wide variety of social media platforms, this can quickly become overwhelming.

This will deliver to the indie artist an effective tools that will help them increase their streams as well as bring new fans into their marketing funnel.

What is SymphonyOS

SymphonyOS is 6 years in the making, started by a team that has spent thousands of hours working side-by-side with artists. In 2016 Chuka Chase and Megh Vakharia started Integral Studio, an agency that built websites for everyone from SZA to Travis Scott. As they learned how fans and artists interact through those experiences, the agency expanded their services into merchandise and eventually digital marketing to help artists build sustainable businesses from their fans and how artists can develop “superfans.” In 2022, with the marketing expertise gained and the insights from fan data that they had collected since 2016, the team released the beta version of SymphonyOS—the first marketing platform built to help creators put their fanbase growth on autopilot through its suite of smart, automated marketing tools. symphonyos.co
