Lickd

Lickd is a music eCommerce platform for the creator ecosystem – allowing YouTubers and other content creators to licence mainstream music for their content that they wouldn’t otherwise have access to, at a fraction of the traditional cost. It’s a niche product, but with a huge and expanding addressable market. They needed a Commercial Director to take ultimate ownership of the function and were very aware that they were looking for a unicorn.
