When Daniel McCarthy cofounded the music-licensing company Musicbed, he had a big idea: “I don’t want customers to just think about Musicbed when they think about music licensing. I want them to think about Musicbed when they’re trying to get inspired.” Accomplishing that would require a lot of experimentation, spending money with no sure ROI, and launching (and closing) a magazine.
In this episode, we map how Musicbed became more than just the sum of its product.
