Shazam for Brands holds Chicago event to rock out with key partners and close friends

Last week, Shazam for Brands rolled into the Windy City for a special event focused on some very important business matters: meeting with key partners, saying hello to some of our closest friends from the Midwest, and listening to some amazing live music.

The latter was provided by the enormously talented Mondo Cozmo, a singer-songwriter-producer (whose hit single, “Shine,” you’ve probably already heard or seen) from Philadelphia who was kind enough to perform on Wednesday, April 5.

"We had a great week in Chicago celebrating our Shazam for Brands platform,” said Shazam Chief Revenue Officer Greg Glenday. “The week included a terrific set of agency and advertiser workshops and a fantastic live event featuring the rapidly emerging rock band Mondo Cozmo. Shazam for Brands is all about unlocking deep extensions for advertisers to extend their campaigns in a brand-safe environment built on discovery and curiosity."

Glenday and Shazam for Brands closed out their Chicago “residency” on Thursday, April 6, with a special presentation at the prestigious Leo Burnett agency’s headquarters.
