Cristal Givens Email & Phone Number

I believe in a servant leadership discipline. No matter the role, it is my goal to create a positive impact. From the boardroom to the front desk, no job is insignificant. My experience has equipped me to discover, define & design solutions that streamline ideas, brands and operations. I help leverage the niche brand, vertical markets, operational strengths and ancillary revenue streams to develop the short- and long-term strategic plans needed to achieve success.MY STORY - COMBINING A PASSION FOR MUSIC & TECHNOLOGY WITH AN ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRITMy intro to music in 1976 was a blue portable record player & a stack of hand-me-down record albums. Consequentially, my love affair hit TILT during the 70s & 80s, the best era of music in my humble opinion.An official career in music began in the late 80s, working retail at Sound Warehouse. Soon after, I was hired at RED (Relativity Entertainment Distribution) as an ASR which led to tour support & promotion as an independent consultant & publicist for artists & labels such as Righteous Babe, Capricorn, Pointblank, Blue Thumb & Osmose.By the mid-90s, the digital revolution had arrived and my first love had a rival. Digital technology was to be my new passion for the next 15+ years, working with amazing clients, building cutting edge websites, mobile apps, corporate intranets and co-creating the digital agency, Content Pilot.Music called me back in 2014 allowing me to hone my skills, helping aspiring creatives and entrepreneurs in artist / business development through private strategic brand consultation. This led to working with young talent at MediaTech Institute where I developed and taught a cutting-edge curriculum for the Business of Music (2017-2020) while also performing the dual role of Director of Brand & Strategic Marketing (2019-2020) and Campus Director (2020-2021) for the school. I continue my fantastic journey today, working with clients and talent from a range of industries, on projects of all sizes and scopes.
