The World-Building Sprint

Define one non-musical touchpoint that extends your artistic world.

In this 2-day challenge, you will conceptualize and describe a piece of merchandise or a fan experience that deepens your brand and offers fans a new way to connect.

The plan, day by day

  1. Day 1Brainstorm with AI. Based on the lyrical themes, moods, and imagery of your last project, use an AI tool to brainstorm 10 unconventional merchandise ideas. Go beyond t-shirts. Think candles with a specific scent, a custom journal, a deck of affirmation cards, etc.
  2. Day 2Write the 'Why'. Choose the strongest idea. Write a product description that focuses entirely on the emotional resonance. Do not describe what it is; describe the feeling it gives the owner. How does this item connect them back to the music and the world you have built?
