About
We’re nice guys.
808 Management was founded in 2007 as a way to help independent artists take advantage of the rapidly changing music business.
For some artists, we handle every part of their well-being, from business management to creative advocacy.
For others, we do the legwork when an album cycle comes around.
For the rest, we’re a friendly voice on the other end of the line when a contract needs perusing, an album is begging to be licensed, or an online distribution ecosystem needs to be built.
Like any good manager, we know stuff. Like what makes an artist successful in the post-digital age. And the various side projects of Steven Malkmus, in chronological order.
But we also happen to know how to drive the right people to your website. And how to build a digital ecosystem that helps increase your fan base. We know what a CMS is. And what SEO is. And more importantly, how to make them work for one another. Because our artists should be free to concentrate on making music – not memorizing terms like CMS and SEO. Simple as that.
