MusicMatters™ work in the music industry and beyond transcends Cause Marketing.

We specialize in Effect Marketing™ (it’s what comes after Cause Marketing). Going beyond just promoting awareness of a cause or product, our Effect Marketing™ campaigns incorporate initiatives that encourage consumers to take action and produce quantifiable results on important environmental and social issues.

MusicMatters™ has created and managed several major campaigns integrating marketing and activism, including Ben & Jerry’s Dave Matthews Band One Sweet Whirled and Magic Brownies Campaigns, Green Mountain Energy and TrueMajority.

In collaboration with Kim and Jack Johnson, MusicMatters™ created the "EnviroRider," an environmental handbook analyzing all aspects of touring and production. This revolutionary model guides MusicMatters’ work with the music industry’s leading artists and its unique partnership with the CLIF Bar GreenNotes program. The EnviroRider is put into action on artist tours and inspires thousands of fans to take positive environmental action.

In addition to our music programs, MusicMatters™ excels in direct-to-consumer interaction and brand awareness for the organic and natural industries. Our exciting organic and natural programs include:
