 Oh, what's up everybody? Once again, it's Brand Man, Sean. And I'm back with another episode of Acts Brand Man where every Wednesday I answer your questions from the comments section below. So keep them questions coming. It's the mat work. Now today I wanna do a special episode where I do a rapid fire answering to a few questions that I haven't gotten a chance to answer because I felt like I couldn't do a long enough video but I do have an answer to it. So let's go ahead and get into this thing. All right, but number one, La Lasso says, is the 360 deal the same as a licensing deal? The answer is in short, no. 360 deal is literally 360, right? Not only am I getting your music right in that recording but you pop up and you appear at some concert right in the award show, bow, tax. I get some of that money. You can sell some merch, bow, tax. I get some of that money. You, I don't know, get on somebody's TV show, bow, tax. I get some of that money. You could drop a book. You drop a DVD. You drop a VHS tape, bow, bow, bow. I get some of that money. That is a 360 deal. I'm getting a cut from everywhere because I invested in you. That's how I'm looking at it, right? I invested in you and anything that comes from you, my investment, I want a piece of that money. That's a 360 deal. As a matter of fact, one of the things that you can or will have to offer up a cut of if you had a 360 deal would be licensing. So you see that? Licensing is this one area where 360s cover a lot of areas. Licensing is, well, it's specific, right? So you have sync licensing. So that's your licensing, something out. Oftentimes on TV, movies, things like that, right? But there's so many licensing, licenses with your brand. You can license your brand out to create clothes with it just like any kind of other entity like Fubu, right? Or Supreme, right? Any of these just typical clothing brands that might either collaborate with somebody else, right? Or they might allow somebody else to put their name on other objects, right? That's what a licensing deal looks like. It's specific to certain areas where you can just say, hey, just my music, just my name, just my clothing, right? 360 licensing, not the same thing, all right? Next, this guy essentially, when it comes down to it, man, that's a long question. Sina Matarzada says, yo, do I absolutely need a logo for branding? When you go through all of this, he's basically saying, yo, some people that are big brands, most of them pretty much have their face, their profile. I don't see logos. Well, that's because the answer is no, you do not need a logo for branding, right? I know a lot of people talk a lot about logos and things like that when they bring up the branding conversation, but most people you have to understand do not understand branding for real in depth. You need these three things, you need these four things, and most of it is visual and aesthetic based. Anybody who's simply talking about aesthetic or visuals based on branding, I guarantee you they do not understand branding. Logos are just a form of expressing and distributing your brand, but it's absolutely, positively not necessary. So that's it, all right? Now, this other guy, the Sun Collective 147 says, I'm a producer looking for a female singer to front the material, all right? So is it a good idea to get a manager to scout out one for me? I'm not really hooked into that scene. You're not hooked into what scene, brother? Female singer scene? All right, look, you can get a manager for that. If you just do not want to do the work, any work in that category, you want some female to magically appear at the door of your studio waiting to sing, like we can get it to that. All right, but I say, before we even think about a manager, why don't you just find female singers on Instagram, find female singers on TikTok and DM them? You don't have to be into a scene, all right? Just find them. They're out there trying to find a producer to connect with. Just find them, bro. Like put in that work. And as a matter of fact, you're the best person because you know the type of artist you want to work with. So maybe you will find some girls that are doing covers of some similar artists that you kind of like want to get into that, you want to get into that sphere in terms of the type of music you want to produce. Find that voice that goes with your production, all right? And if you aren't picky, that just makes it even easier, all right? But you can find girls doing covers on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, girls doing their own original music on all those platforms. Do that, try DMing them first. But again, a manager can help that process even more or you can go completely lazy and let a manager do all the work for you. But there is no scene, you know what I'm saying? Like there's no scene or there's a collection of females just waiting to be picked and produced with, all right? Cool. Now, another person says, how can I work with one of you? Anthony, he's referring to me or Corey. Well, obviously we have Contra brand agency. I'm only doing this because other people ask these questions as well of that same question a lot. Contra brand.agency is that's just that simple. You'll find out everything you need to know when it comes to working with us from a services in, but I guarantee most people who are watching this video are not prepared to work with Contra brand agency. So a little bit higher in or working with artists that have some serious budgets and labels, right? Now, if you don't have that, that's cool. Check us out at brandmannetwork.com. I am answering questions every day, question after question after question. I'm talking to people, we have our entire team that are in there answering questions. We got calls where you can get one-on-one access with us.

As a matter of fact, people are already in there saying, yo, does this look like a good company? And then we'll analyze it and say, and I wouldn't work with them if I was you. Yeah, I would work with them if I was you, all right? They look legit, all right? So get in that space. We'll help you one way or another. Trust me, it's not, as a matter of fact, it's so little money in my opinion, just do it. It's not even a risky decision. It's less than $20 right now, all right? Now, am I gonna do one more question? Nah, that's the rapid fire. That's the first rapid fire and I might even answer them even faster if I do an episode like this in the future, but y'all let me know if y'all like it in this format. If so, y'all gotta keep them questions coming so I'll have enough questions to do it in that way other than that. Appreciate y'all watching the episode again.
