Creative Intell Academy: Never Sign a Bad Contract Ever Again...or Ever!
🎓 Music education designed to protect your career through interactive courses about music business fundamentals, legal industry contracts, free resources, and more.
Democratizing Music Industry Education
An entertainment lawyer and a music industry veteran walk into a restaurant in NYC. Sounds like the opening line of a joke, but Creative Intell is far from a joke. Co-founders David Fritz, one of the nation's leading music attorneys, and Steven Ship, an artist manager and former label CEO, came up with a brilliant idea over lunch in Midtown Manhattan to alleviate the scarcity of reliable, accessible information about the music industry and its contracts.
Contracts are the backbone of the music industry.
Gatekeeping information is very real and the reason why artists end up signing contracts they don’t understand. Even researching basic music contracts and agreements online can be confusing and filled with misinformation, especially as the industry changes rapidly. Independent artists can face high costs, miscommunication, and a lack of education during the dealmaking process that can lead to repercussions including legal troubles and financial loss.
In a time when independent artists are on the rise and the power of social media is king, education and knowledge should be in the forefront.
Creative Intell Academy was created for an underserved market — one that provides a creative outlet and entertainment for so many people across the world, while not allowing the creatives in that same market to reap rewards.
Creative Intell Academy educates artists, writers, producers, booking agents, managers, and industry professionals about the pitfalls of the music industry.
For a monthly subscription of $29.99, you can begin easy-to-understand courses in an interactive academy that includes 18 courses and over 50 animated videos.
Course topics include music publishing, contracts, and licensing. From radio and streaming royalties to safeguarding your music and understanding agreements, subscribers in the CI Academy can learn about the ins & outs of the music business. Subscribers also have access to high-quality downloadable music contract templates drafted by top entertainment lawyers.
The Academy includes storylines of different animated characters — The Intells — who hold different roles within the industry such as an emerging singer, a songwriter, an experienced industry veteran, and even a fortuneteller 🔮 who helps carry the stories by exposing truths within the industry.
Creative Intell has raised over $3 million in seed funding and is backed by industry figures such as Rimas Entertainment (Bad Bunny’s label and management), Austin Rosen (Post Malone’s co-manager), Lyor Cohen (Co-Founder of 300 Entertainment & Global Head of Music at YouTube), and others expanding throughout the music and entertainment industry.
Along with providing education, the CI platform provides a free, private community within their Discord channel for subscribers — allowing conversations by asking questions and raising concerns they may have in real-time while having access to CI’s own legal team.
Take control of your music career.
Most artists and producers love to create music because of their love for it and not to monetize from it. Some don’t even know how to effectively monetize from it — but the term “starving artist” would dissipate if more of them became more savvy on how the business works and not just from the creative side.
Not knowing how the music business works and not being able to afford a professional to handle business matters no longer needs to be an excuse. Apply to Creative Intell Academy today and change how you manage your music and everything that comes with it.
And tell a friend to tell a friend.
