Is Songkick Struggling Or Just Shifting Gears?
As the touring industry gathers in San Francisco for Pollstar Live!, a series of recent changes in the executive suit at Songkick are raising eyebrows.
In recent weeks, Songkick Co-CEO Ian Hogarth moved to Chairman leaving Matt Jones as sole CEO; alongside two major staff exits. VP of Industry Relations Greg Schmaele and Jessica Henig, head of Artist Services & Enterprise Relationships both have left the startup.
Is Songkick struggling or just shifting gears?
One insider told Dave Brooks of Amplify that "the company was going through a restructuring and changing its mission from event discovery and ticketing, instead opting to fully focus on ticketing."
Because what the world needs is more ticketing companies.
Ian is great, but he’d been at it a long time. I think Matt Jones should be able to move this all forwards.
