About Michael Mike Shoebox Ramirez

In 2009, I launched JunglePress (now known as LabelGrid), a cloud-hosting & marketing platform that helps media creators and publishers free themselves from the traditional retail market that\'s holding them back. In a crowded space, developing your fan-network at a personal level is super-important, so I\'m constantly building tools for my own needs; and adding them to the platform.LabelGrid allows creators to do both traditional retail sales + direct-to-fan and can integrate w/your existing distributor or even direct w/the retailer. You also get landing pages & API for direct-to-fan brand marketing & sales.As a user of the platform you get:1.) Tools to help grow your brand\'s fan-engagement 2.) Delivery automation to anywhere (including your own distributor)3.) Integration with Symphonic, Fuga, Consolidated Independent, TripleVision, and others.4.) Accounting tools and importing of statements from 3rd parties5.) Ability to host your own shop (including upload to Bandcamp, Wordpress, Shopify, etc.) 6.)
