JA Creatives Consulting, LLC. | Application Preview

 

JA Creatives Consulting, LLC. is seeking government grants to support the development of a professional website and comprehensive marketing strategy. The funding will address general operating costs as the business works to attract more clients and will also facilitate participation in vital industry conferences like SXSW, which are key for networking and marketing.

The business plan emphasizes the importance of networking within the music and entertainment sectors. In addition to a podcast, JA Creatives will offer independent courses focused on individualized consulting to help artists navigate their careers.

The request for funding underscores a significant shift in the music industry, where artists must learn to treat their craft as a business. With over 30 years of experience in bookkeeping and accounting—20 of which have been in the music sector—the founder positions their services as a crucial defense for artists against financial exploitation, theft, and embezzlement. Supporting JA Creatives is framed as an investment in the future success and security of artists and cultural influencers.

In terms of competition, the primary adversaries identified are managers and record companies that may exploit artists through predatory practices. The founder believes that their unique focus on financial education sets them apart in the industry.

The competitive edge stems from the reflections prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which allowed for a reassessment of values. The founder’s passion lies in championing artists, empowering them to view their art as a viable business. This approach is presented as essential for fostering long-term success and securing artists' financial futures.

  • Funding Usage

    Our website needs to be professionally designed and a firm marketing plan put into place. Funds will be used for general operating expenses until we gain more clients. There are also conferences, including SXSW, which will be central to our marketing and networking efforts.

  • Business Plan

    Networking is the cornerstone for growth in the music and entertainment industries. In addition to our podcast, we will develop courses that can be done independently from individual instruction to concentrate on individualized consulting. This is a new dawn for the music industry, particularly for artists. Now they must embrace their art as a business and educate themselves in what will be a more artist-centric industry. I have over 30 years of experience in bookkeeping and accounting, with 20 years being in the music industry. My services will safeguard many artists and entrepreneurs against theft and embezzlement, making it more likely that they will not only survive in the business but thrive. Investing in JA Creatives Consulting is investing in the artists, the taste-makers, and the cultural influencers of tomorrow. Ensuring their success and security is a bold and worthwhile investment.

  • Self Identified Competition

    My top competitors are the managers, business agents, and record companies who would happily take advantage of an artist who is overwhelmed by the excitement of success through predatory contracts, theft, and embezzlement. I do not know of any other professional in the industry who is intent on educating artists in financial literacy or determined to protect their future financial security. I started my business because the covid pandemic gave us all the gift of slowing down and reassessing our values and priorities. I am a fighter, but only when I can champion someone else. Musicians, artists, and creatives all need a champion, now more than ever, when the industry will be battling for regrowth. Creatives need to understand this and be empowered to make their decisions based on business facts, in partnership with their creative drive. I can help them understand how embracing their art as a business is not selling out. It is ensuring their success.
