Frank Østevold Email & Phone Number

Frank Ostevold is the Co-Founder and CEO of oiid, a Norwegian music tech firm. oiid's products include a premium content platform which allows fans to step inside their favorite tracks; once inside fans can engage, play, and explore at multiple levels through interactive functions. Consumer attention is short; oiid increases listening time, and engagement, and puts the music at the front and center of the digital experience. The benefits are complex, the product is intuitive. Frank has built an exceptional network across the global music industry with artists and creatives, label, marketing and publishing executives; focused on digital content partnerships and strategy. As an Artist Manager, Frank worked with each client to develop their career to the next level, resulting in chart-topping albums, gold and platinum sales success, and Norwegian Grammy and Spotify "Innovator of the Year” awards for marketing campaigns. He has also served as Music Business Advisor to Innovation Norway, and is currently a member of the MusEDLab Advisory Board at the Steinhardt School, New York University.Oiid has been incubated during a period of disruption to the models and revenue streams of record labels. As perceptions of digital value have shifted, Frank has been at the forefront of developing innovative artist, and label approaches to digital consumption. A whole new B2B ecosystem of licensing and value capture has been negotiated across the last few years of relative stability, and Oiid's unusual (it's stayed the course) role of participating in the disruption, and the now growing new ecosystem has given Frank unique pathfinder know-how and networks.
