Community Highlights: Meet Mack Delfino of Mack Delfino Agencies

Today we’d like to introduce you to Mack Delfino. 

Hi Mack, so excited to have you on the platform. So, before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
Mack Delfino Agencies came to life back in August of 2016. I started with an internship with Ypsilanti’s own celebrity superstars, Ayo & Teo’s management team. It was the perfect time as they were just beginning to work with Usher on a remix to his song, “No Limit”. Some time had passed and I branched off and got into artist management. I took on five local artists from my hometown and with no experience began learning the music industry, how to book shows, how to throw my own events, and struggled for a while. I started tasting success when I sat down with Drew Denton, a Ypsilanti icon, and started a concert series called, “Second 2 None.” I acquired the knowledge to cultivate a platform for upcoming rappers, singers, and bands of all genres to showcase their talent in an environment that supported their dreams and aspirations. I was blessed to have the opportunity of bringing in notable DJs like RJ Lamont and major headliners like Polo Frost, Neisha Neshae, and several others. 

The one thing I really discovered was that most upcoming artists lacked credible resources. You have to be able to network and connect the dots for what makes sense. I began networking and reaching out to industry executives, A&Rs, famous producers and began developing business relationships to acquire the necessary resources to supply hardworking artists. Mack Delfino Agencies became established shortly after now being known as a global marketing agency geared towards developing upcoming artists and promoting quality music of today. Providing targeted SEO marketing campaigns to help build their fanbase and generate monetizable streams as well as provide PR campaigns to get them featured in major blogs, magazines, interviews, and even radio! 

I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle-free, but so far would you say the journey has been a fairly smooth road?
I faced several problems such the biggest being lack of knowledge. Starting out, not knowing much about contracts, business “language” and direction, I had a difficult time putting the cart before the horse. I struggled with time management as this business is really 24/7 so there was always something new to work on or accomplish.
