It’s that time of year again… when everyone pimps their SXSW panel and asks you to vote for them. Well we’re throwing our hat into the ring and are proud to submit an intimate conversation with a legendary radio host turned digital curator DJ Funkmaster Flex – Building Your Digital Brand.
We caught up with Flex last May at our 4th Annual FlashFWD Awards where he came to support Best in Discovery winner, Songza. At SXSW, our own Jesse Kirshbaum (Co-Founder of SoundCtrl, CEO of NUE Agency) will have the chance to sit down with Flex and dive into the particulars of how he continues to push the needle in music culture, industry and tech.
Funk Flex has been America’s #1 radio personality for more than a decade – reaching more than 3M listeners a week on Hot97. Every night between 7PM-12AM, an estimated 10% of all the NYC metropolitan radio audience is listening to him – making him #1 in his time slot. A magnet for brands and notorious for breaking artists, the Flex bomb on a song ultimately marks it as the next big hit in clubs, on the radio and all over the world.
In addition to on-air, Flex has also developed an impressive presence online including his website InFlexWeTrust.com, his Funkmaster Flex app, and various other strategic partnerships with emerging tech companies.
In this dual session, we will break down how Flex has become one of the very few to successfully maintain a strong, traditional relationship with listeners – via radio – while building a digital arsenal that rivals any artist at a major label.
You can VOTE HERE and please be sure to share it with your friends.. we promise to share some BBQ with you in 2014. See you in Austin!
