Dubai, UAE – In an era where talent alone is not enough to guarantee success in the music industry, Sorgo Ivan is pioneering a new approach to artist branding and digital marketing. With years of experience collaborating with major labels like Warner Music, Sony Music, and Universal Music, as well as independent powerhouses such as LoudKult and Suave, Iván has emerged as a game-changer in the way artists connect with audiences.
As the founder of MARKETIME FZ-LLC, a UAE-based marketing agency, Ivan is bridging the gap between talent and business strategy, ensuring that musicians, influencers, and brands thrive in an ever-evolving digital landscape.
A Career Built on Innovation and Adaptability
Ivans journey into the music industry began in 2017 when he started as an A&R (Artists and Repertoire) professional. His keen eye for talent and ability to predict industry trends quickly made him a sought-after name in artist development. His work wasn’t just about signing artists; it was about crafting their sound, shaping their brand, and preparing them for the competitive music business.
However, as digital platforms like Spotify, TikTok, and YouTube started transforming how audiences discover and engage with music, Iván recognized the need for a shift. Traditional artist development models were becoming obsolete, and marketing was becoming the key differentiator between success and obscurity.
Seeing an opportunity, Ivan expanded his expertise into digital marketing, branding, and audience engagement, positioning himself as a leader in music marketing strategies that drive impact.
