blueFROG AND TAG STRATEGIC LAUNCH A JOINT VENTURE AND SALON SERIES IN INDIA
Mumbai, India, November 15, 2011 — blueFROG and TAG Strategic have joined to host India’s first of a series of TAG Salons (“the blueFROG TAG Salon”) and launch a global JV on Tuesday, November 15th, 2011.
TAG Strategic Salons are synonymous with attracting some of the leading thinkers within the music, mobile, new media and the entertainment industry and have been held in Los Angeles, London, Paris, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Berlin, and other cities. The Salons are an intimate gathering of friends – industry leaders, partners and associates – for a no-holds-barred session of chat, debate and networking.
The first blueFROG TAG Salon will be held on November 15, 2011 at the blueFROG venue in Mumbai and is being sponsored by MIDEM, the world’s largest music industry trade fair, held annually at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes, France. The discussions will be led by TAG Strategic founder Ted Cohen. Ted started his career at Warner Bros. Records, touring with Alice Cooper and others, and has provided career guidance to artists such as Fleetwood Mac, Prince and Van Halen. During his tenure as head of digital at EMI Music, he was instrumental in crafting the licensing agreements upon which the Rhapsody subscription service and the iTunes Music Store were built.
Today blueFROG and TAG are also announcing a comprehensive digital consultancy, blueFROG TAG, which will pool their collective expertise to benefit the media and entertainment industries in India and Asia. It is a partnership aimed at helping international companies enter the Indian/Asian markets and Indian companies branch out into global markets.
