Closed-Loop Economy
01 · Executive Summary
A closed-loop economy for the creative industry.
Big Red NOLA is an all-in-one digital ecosystem connecting the vibrant creative scenes of New Orleans and New York City. By centralizing publishing, management, financial tracking, and distribution, we solve the fragmentation that plagues independent creatives. The platform merges business management — CRM, contracts, escrow, accounting — with creative growth: AI advisors, EPK generation, studio booking, and automated distribution. One interface, one economy, for artists, vendors, venues, and sponsors.
02 · Problem & Opportunity
A dozen tools. One missed paycheck.
The Problem
Independent artists, managers, and labels juggle a dozen platforms for publishing (ASCAP/BMI), royalty tracking, distribution, EPKs, studio bookings, and contracts — leading to lost revenue, mismanaged split sheets, and administrative burnout.
The Opportunity
Bridging two of the most historically significant cultural hubs in the world unlocks a massive network of independent creatives and local businesses — a unified Command Center to register a song, generate a split sheet, book a studio, distribute, and pitch sync, all from one interface.
