We served as the marketing and communications lead for Michael McDonald’s fundraising campaign. Over 5 months, the team raised $400,000 through a digital crowdfunding campaign. We handled media relations, event marketing, e-mail marketing, crowdfunding platform communications, and sponsorship promotional opportunities.
Michel McDonald is the Chair Emeritus for the Recording Academy’s non-profit, MusiCares, former tour manager for Dave Matthews Band, co-founder of ATO records, and founder of music management company, Mick Management.
