About Scott
Rouse applies his expertise in marketing and branding the entertainment industry to the products he develops for his company, IdeaBang. “Developing products and ideas is the same as producing and marketing recording artists, TV shows and movies.
If you can produce an artist and sell a million downloads, then turn around and develop a toy or a medical device and sell a million of those, that’s awesome. Combining an artist or an act with a digital product, for example an app, is a perfect creative situation if you ask me.”
Licensing ideas and products to large companies and corporations is the route to take Rouse explains, “Licensing allows me more time in the studio without having to spend hours dealing with manufacturing and distribution. One of my very favorite quotes is Dave Stewart’s: ‘I’d rather have 10 percent of something that took off than 100 Percent of something that’s still on the table.’ That quote has become my mantra now.”
At the end of the day Rouse sees a striking similarity between music production and product development, “I’m not sure if I like producing records or developing products more. They both require a great deal of creativity, and you can have a hit with an idea or product just like you can a song or a track.”
