Otta's take

Sam Franklin headshot

Sam Franklin

CEO of Otta

Artist Growth was founded to help content creators and the music industry at large manage tasks like workflow, touring, and client relations. The company went on to expand its management platform to additionally offer financing to touring artists through AG Finance.

Artist Growth, impressively, is already helping managers deal with billions of dollars in tour revenue and expenses. Being the only cloud based solution on the market for labels, managers and creators, Artist Growth has become a leader in this space. Their client base has expanded to serve almost all aspects of the music industry.

Artist Growth received an undisclosed amount of investment from DeepWork Capital, who focus on high growth companies, and are planning on releasing many new product features for labels, managers, and tour managers.

Company values

  • Initiative - Being fiercely proactive in accomplishing tasks and seeking to solve challenges in the business. Willing to go the distance. Adventurous, willing to take a risk. High energy, committed
  • Respect - Always working and acting from self-respect and respect for the team, clients, partners, and vendors
  • Integrity - Relying on team members to trust one another completely, to be direct, honest, and reliable
  • Communication - Very proactively communicating with others, doesn’t wait to be asked. Always willing to hear (not just listen) to other perspectives from others, doesn’t hide, and is above board in all things
  • Discernment - Willing to continually educate oneself. Able to read between the lines and apply knowledge/wisdom as a situation calls for it, not as it’s written in manuals
  • Collaboration - We achieve better results working together than working alone. We acknowledge it is up to us to make work an inspiring place to be
