6th October 2023,

Our monthly quick-fire webinar on the One Step Ahead project will take place on 12th October at 3pm CET.

IMPALA and CMU will present another report from One Step Ahead putting the spotlight on the latest data trends – building on the Data Playbook we published earlier this year. The report is now out and can be found here. In this session, we will talk you through the key components of the report, including…

– The latest checklists for getting the most out of consumption, social and other data.

– The latest developments around streaming analytics and music meta-data.

– A guide to the main sources of music market data and the key findings of recent reports

One Step Ahead is an IMPALA-led project, piloted by IMPALA’s digital committee, in partnership with CMU Insights and with the support of Merlin.
