With over ten years of music industry experience, Cortney Harding has a proven track record of helping her clients create innovative partnerships. After spending four years as a writer and editor at Billboard, Cortney saw a need in the market for someone who could help startups navigate the often treacherous waters of the music business, and used her extensive knowledge base and rolodex to help her clients get ahead.

Deadline-driven and diligent, Cortney doesn't just promise introductions with players in the business -- she delivers real results and real partnerships. She's the one sending yet another "checking in" email to remind an artist to use the product. She's the one setting the meeting with the exec and following up to get the ball rolling. She's also an expert in content and marketing, and can help your startup tell the best story possible -- one which will appeal to your target audience. She'll jump in and get her hands dirty to serve her clients.
