Australian Music Week Speaker Profile: Hazel Savage

Position: Director — Hazelsavage.com

How did you first become involved in the music business? My first ever job was at UK record store HMV; back in the day that wasn't considered 'the industry' but I think it was a hugely important and a great experience to have.

What's your area of expertise and what experience do you have? My area of expertise is essentially anything considered 'marketing' — specialising in authentic content and social media — although most of my clients are most interested in my ability to run paid digital campaigns.

What topics will you be mostly talking about at Australian Music Week? Branding, marketing, social media and probably about heaps of bands I like I want to go see... I'm looking at you, Drawcard!

What do you hope to personally take away from Australian Music Week? There are some great speakers that I know by name but have never met — I look forward to expanding my network and having a right ole booze up with everyone.

What's one question about the music industry you'd love to have the answer to? In what year will copyright cease to exist in its current form? Too controversial?
