How brands can unlock the power of music and audio
Rak Patel, Head of Sales UK & Pan EMEA for Spotify; and Rania Robinson, CEO and Partner of Quiet Storm
As the late, great Aretha Franklin said, “Music does a lot of things for a lot of people. It’s transporting.…it’s uplifting, it’s encouraging, it’s strengthening.”
Diversity and inclusion was further touched upon by our panellists who had some great insights, initiative and information to share. Originally founded in 2007 by Trevor Robinson OBE, founder and ECD of Top 100 advertising agency Quiet Storm. Founded off the fundamental belief that creativity has the power to transform businesses, lives and society as a whole. Create Not Hate is an example of this in action. First an initiative, now a non- profit Community Interest Company. Its aim is to help, marginalised inner city young people to unlock their creative potential, whilst also addressing social issues that they live with everyday. The ambition is to make under-represented young people aware of the opportunities in the creative industries and create a pathway into careers through hands on exposure to and experience with all aspects of the creative process. Alongside that, they are providing much needed awareness and education around devastating social issues that have a negative impact on society as a whole. Find out more here.
