Week 1
July 1st , 2023

2. IDENTITY
My name is Matthew Williams, I was
born in Knoxville, Tennessee at the
University of Tennessee Hospital. I
began my education and career in
music and entertainment at a young
age. One of the most notable
internships I had when I was a
teenager was being a shadowing disc
jockey for 94.3 Extreme Radio and an
independently touring musician in a
band at the ages of 16-21 years old.
Currently, I am in college for
Entertainment Business pursuing and
aspiring to obtain 2 degrees and a
certification from Full Sail University.

3. PROFESSION
Potential Job Titles:
• Chief Operating Officer (COO)
• Chief Diversity Officer (CDO)
• Chief Product Officer (CPO)
BRAND ARCHETYPE – I have a knack for identifying
talents and skills with people and navigating them
towards connections with other likeminded individuals
to create groups or teams that are motivated towards
a common goal; I can assist them to go to the next
step or level in what they want to do. My gift or talent
is being able to make dreams come to life for others
and being a magician archetype states that I have the
ability and aptitude to do so. I have the capacity to be
a visionary and inventor; I often find myself lost in
deep thought about creating new and innovative ideas
that can be used in music and entertainment.

11. BRAND POSITION
For [The Heavy Metal sector of the Music Industry] who [Needs Better
Payouts from streaming services and event ticketing, I provide an
application that will streamline revenue to underpaid artists and
eliminate fees, price-gouging, and scalping from taking a cut from
artist’s payouts. Streaming services and ticketing services have been
taking too much money out of artist’s pockets.

designs for which caters to the alternative subculture. The content I will put out will feature meme’s on
social media platforms meant to engage the crowd and raise an emotional connection within my
audience that my brand can monetize. I plan to feature video content and interactive content for the
audience to feel like they apart of my brand’s culture that we are establishing while giving the audience a
say in the direction of the designs we put out by posting polls based on votes from the audience.

platforms of social media and other form of websites where third party promotion is allowed,

If I do choose to extend my pages on the one I created in this class, I plan to pay for SEO and
advertisement when I launch my brand and start working in the industry again as an entrepreneur this
will assist me in creating more relevance, diversity, and purity as I work in numerous different facet in

You know Ticket scalping has been taking money from artists, promoters, and venues? Well, what I have done is create a platform where you can setup
analytics for each ticket as they are purchased, they are digitally tracked with a foot-print that is anonymous and if the tickets are scalped, they can only
be resold on the platform otherwise the ticket will be null and void. In fact, I have been working on this idea along side an existing company called zipliner
or better known as ZPLNR.
