Title: Music Marketing Plan

Client’s name: Tali Goya

Executive Summary: The music industry is a very challenging industry as much as it looks very much easier for many individuals. The challenges in this very inviting industry are often faced by both upcoming and established musicians. The individuals who face the most challenges in the music industry are the upcoming musicians. Although there are many challenges that can be faced by an upcoming musician such as Tali Goya, the most challenging of all is penetrating a well-established industry with musicians who are at the top.
