#034 There's just something about live music. Something that can't be replaced by any other experience. Sofar Sounds is a global network of chapters of small intimate gatherings, where people get together and listen to music. The plot twist is that they usually don't know who they're going to be listening to until it happens, and the venue is not your typical music venue. It could be a home, or a church basement, or a carpet store. Rafe Offer is the man behind Sofar, and he's here today to share the Sofar origin story, how to create a cohesive, intimate community experience in more than 300 chapters across the globe, and the time he gave someone hilariously unnecessary professional advice.

An enlightening and inspiring episode where Rob speaks to Rafe, an expert in marketing, including working for Coca Cola and Disney! They talk all things marketing, branding and delve into some of Rafe's key learnings over his impressive marketing career. KEY TAKEAWAYS  Branding is what you want to stand for as a company for the longer term. The best form of marketing is when a customer experiences something and just can't wait to tell everyone else about it. Rafe found working at larger companies taught him a lot about what not to do, this was just as valuable as the things he learnt to do whilst working there. Larger companies have a unique challenge in that many people are doing jobs, not realising what they do each day feeds into the customer, not realising the impact and the difference they can make. Building and instilling a great vision can really help with this, ensuring every employee truly understands what the companies aim is and how they fit into it. Toxic people in companies can destroy morale and will end up coming back to bite you. No matter how well they perform, you need to remove them as soon as you can. Marketing has changed considerably and quickly over the past two decades. Marketing has gone from more ‘blanket' approaches with little tracking to being able to be ultra-specific and precise and being very measurable.

Today we have a memorial session to remember those lost needlessly to the pandemic, with Pamela Addison, Rafe Offer, Cecile Stehrenberger, and Lori Peek.

Today we have a discussion of musicians and how they are coping with the pandemic with Rafe Offer, and a public health update with Esther Chernak.Rafe Offer has held senior positions with some of the world’s largest companies, including as Marketing Director for Disney.  Rafe continues to consult top companies including Microsoft, Aviva, The Daily Mail Group and Amazon. Rafe is CEO and co-founder of Sofar Sounds, a cutting-edge music company and worldwide promoter of new bands. It has grown from one London living room into a global music phenomenon which has created the world’s largest international network of live music events, and has been touted by the Guardian as ‘a quiet revolution’ and New York Magazine as ‘one of the top new brands in America’. 

Today we’re talking to Rafe Offer, CEO of Sofar Sounds (Sofar is an acronym for "Songs from a Room"), a community-led global movement that’s bringing the magic back to live music. Dissatisfied with a concert-going experience in 2009, Rafe and two friends decided to take action. They hosted an intimate concert in a flat in North London for eight people. At the event, music was the undeniable focus: "At our gigs you could hear the music rather than the clatter of drinks being served, the purring of phones or murmur of side-bar conversations." Three living-room concerts later, there were lines around the block of people hoping to attend. Soon, people living in other countries raised their hands to bring the format to their cities. Ten years later, there are 500 gigs per month in more than 300 cities worldwide, and more than 25,000 performers have put on Sofar shows - including big names from Leon Bridges and Billie Eilish to Benjamin Clementine and Karen O.In our interview, we talk to Rafe about the origin of Sofar and how community members around the world host these gigs, and how Sofar went from hobby to a full-fledged business. If you want to get involved with Sofar, maybe attending or helping to bring an event to your city, go to their website sofarsounds.com or check out videos from concerts on their YouTube channel.Grab your copy of GET TOGETHER—our handbook on community-building

In this episode I'm talking to Rafe Offer. He's the founder of Sofar Sounds. You probably know Sofar Sounds. They organise intimate concerts in alternative venues. So from a living room, to an office, to a church - anything that isn't intended to host a concert. They are now in more than 400 cities around the world! And I see this as a fascinating lesson of how to follow your passion, help artists, manage to scale a project worldwide, and so much more. Enjoy! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/musicinnovation/message

Ten years ago, when Rafe Offer created Sofar Sounds, he had no idea what kind of global community he would build. He didn't know how badly people needed real, tangible, human connection. He was just frustrated with his experiences at concerts by musical artists he knew and respected. With the drive to improve his own listening experience, Offer came up with a relatively simple idea: invite artists into people's homes to play an intimate set. The audience would kindly be asked to not use their phones and hold off on getting up to get drinks during the experience. Offer describes that first experience as something that truly allowed for connection. It felt so good, they decided to do it again, and then again. By the third living room concert, the line to enter was out the door - and Offer and his co-founders knew they were onto something. Since that first concert in London in 2009, Sofar Sounds has reached 400 cities, with over 20,000 concerts played in various living rooms, on rooftops and in small retail spaces around the world. And although Offer was always passionate about his music, prior to launching this global phenomenon he held titles like Global Marketing Director for Disney and for Coca-Cola, as well as Director of Innovation at Diageo. In this episode of #WeGotGoals, you'll hear him talk about sensing the need to let go of his role in marketing for a major brand and pursue this idea of Sofar Sounds with all his might. The concept, to "be in the moment, [to] take it all in," as Offer says, was - and is - universal. "People all around the world really felt the same way. Wherever we are in the world, we crave that," he says. The thing Offer's most proud to say he's accomplished - even after an impressive career creating campaigns for the likes of Coca-Cola and Disney - has everything to do with this massive, like-minded community Sofar has created through small, intimate experiences. And as far as big goals for the future, well, you can read them for yourself on his LinkedIn profile. Not unlike another #WeGotGoals guest, Sarah Robb O'Hagan, who lists her failures on her LinkedIn page, Offer sees the platform as an opportunity to make a statement. "As soon as I say [my goal] to somebody and start diving in, you already sort of feel like you're on your way," he says. "And publishing it is another way of saying it out loud...it just helps reinforce it that this is real." After you listen to this episode of #WeGotGoals (and subscribe wherever you like to get your podcasts - like Apple or Spotify!) you can check out what Sofar Sounds concerts are playing in a neighborhood near you.
