The Lyric CEO: Auditing Your Lyrical Assets
Quantify the value of your creative choices.
This 3-day challenge reframes lyric editing as a business function. You will invest time as a capital asset, use AI to create workflow efficiencies, and evaluate your lyrical work based on its commercial and brand-building potential.
The plan, day by day
- Day 1Timebox one hour. Take the lyrics for an unreleased song and edit them ruthlessly. At the end of the hour, write one sentence answering: 'By how much did this hour of work increase the song's potential sync value?'
- Day 2Build a simple efficiency workflow using an AI tool. Use an AI transcriber to create a lyric sheet from a phone recording. Time how long this takes. Compare it to how long it would have taken to do it manually. This is your calculated time-savings.
- Day 3Review the newly edited lyrics from Day 1. Identify the single line with the highest emotional resonance. Now, think like a CEO. Is this line better used as a social media bio, a t-shirt slogan, or a sync pitch? Justify your choice.
