Et intervju med Arnbjørn Joar Styrkor Marklund (hey, det er jo meg!) om online markedsføring av musikk (av Øyvind Jevne, BA student)
As part of his empiric work for his BA paper in Music Management from Hedmark University College, Øyvind Jevne asked me to answer some questions regarding online marketing of music.
